Chapter 04

Entering the security room, Adrian spotted Patrick Hamilton and Darren Wilkins, his two head of security at the monitors displaying the front gates and headed over to them. "What do we have guys?"

The two men looked up at their boss staring at them quizzically and turned back to the monitors. "So far just an unfamiliar vehicle with a male driver requesting entrance onto the property," explained Darren. "Pat is currently running a check on the plates finding out who it's registered to before we grant him access."

"Enlarge the view for me please Dar. I want to see his face." Darren did and Adrian immediately knew who it was. "That's Gabe's older brother Mattie. Go ahead and let him through."

With his boss verifying the man's identity and receiving confirmation from Pat, Darren gave a nod to the man controlling the gates. Soon they were opening, permitting Mattie access onto the property as the three guys headed up front to greet their visitor.

After finding their fathers in their offices, Ethan and Mike explained the reason for Riley's visit. Needless to say, neither DMoney nor Julian was too surprised over the news. They both suspected that this would happen eventually so they already had a plan in place; they just kept their suspicions from the boys so they wouldn't worry about it. Now it was time to put that plan into action. They told the boys to go and pack enough clothes to last a week or two and to make sure that their brothers do the same while they make a few calls.

The boys did what they were told without asking any questions. They trusted their fathers to do what was best for them and to eventually tell them what they needed to know so they didn't need a quick explanation to follow their instructions. When they came back downstairs packed and ready to go, DMoney called Ethan and Mike into the office while Julian prepared some snacks for them to take along. After explaining the plans, DMoney handed Ethan an envelope containing prepaid cell phones, then handed another one filled with cash to Mike.

"I don't suspect that you'll go through it all but I want you to have enough. You each have a thousand minutes on your phone, but I want you to call me if it gets down to two hundred so I can add six hundred more to them. I want you to take these and leave your regular ones here so you can't be found. These are nontraceable ones that won't give away your location, although I expect you to keep your panic button on you at all times. Most importantly though, watch over your son and brothers and keep them safe."

Both boys gave him a hug, assuring him that they will and promising to call at least twice a day to let them know how they were doing. When they came out of the office, their security was loading up the van and Julian was packaging all of the food. The van was a twenty-four seater, so it was big enough to fit everyone in with a little room to spare. When they were all ready to go, DMoney and Julian drove them to Dulles Airport where his private jet was waiting to whisk them away.

At the Matthews/Williams residence, Jeffrey was just letting in their guest when the three guys arrived at the door. Adrian greeted him with a smile and pulled him into a tight hug. "Mattie, it's good to see you man, but what are you doing here?"

"What, do I need a reason to come and see my brother in law and nephews?"

"You always have one when you come without your wife and kids so don't go there with me!"

The two men smiled at each other knowing that was true. After introducing Mateo to the three guys that were standing there with him, Adrian escorted him to the game room where the boys were playing. "Boys, look who's here."

Everyone looked over and saw who Adrian was talking about. Alonzo and Theo both shouted, "Uncle Mattie!" and ran over to give him a hug with Jamy following behind on his shorter legs. Mattie wrapped all three boys up in a hug, enjoying the embrace. When they had finally broken away, the boys began the rapid questioning without waiting for an answer as only kids can do. He waited for them to settle down while using the time to come up with an explanation that wouldn't reveal his true reasoning until he had a chance to talk with his brother and Adrian so he just told them that he came to visit and speak with their fathers. He didn't want to lie so he just decided that a partial truth would be the better part of valor.

After spending a few more minutes with them, he and Adrian went to Adrian's office to talk. He told Adrian about his dream and what he saw as the outcome if he hadn't come. "I'm hoping that I can talk some sense into them before things get out of hand and they won't be able to dig themselves out of it."

"I hope you can because I've already gotten the go ahead from Gabe to do whatever is necessary to keep our boys safe. We're both fed up with their shenanigans and I'm very close to that point if they continue with their scheming. You know how I am when it comes to my family being harmed in any way and they're really pushing their luck."

Mattie told him that he'll try but he can't promise anything. "You know how women are." He sighed dramatically. "They always think their way is the right way even when they have been proven wrong, and unfortunately, we're dealing with two: one who thinks that she's a queen and should be obeyed, and another who thinks she deserves the life style of a princess just because she gave birth to the prince's children."

"Well, if they need a reality check, then I'll be happy to give them one! I'm not playing Mr. Nice Guy anymore so make sure they know it. This will be their final warning before they feel the full extent of my wrath and all hell comes down on them!"

They heard the call for lunch so they ended their conversation and headed to the kitchen. The others were already there waiting so they took their seats as Sean and Bryan set out the food. Today's menu was ham, cabbage, baked macaroni and cheese, and cornbread. They washed It all down with sweet ice tea and polished the meal off with ice cream sundaes for dessert. By the time they were finished eating, they were too stuffed to move. Just as they had the strength to get up, alarms started going off followed by a code red alert over the intercom from the security office sending everyone into immediate action.

Meanwhile, DMoney and Julian were also taking action against their own attack. Once they had seen their boys off safely; they returned back home to finish preparing. DMoney took care of making the arrangements while Julian made some lunch for them. They had just finished cleaning up afterwards when DMoney called to check in on Adrian. It only took two rings for Adrian to answer as he, Pat, and Darren were barking orders around. The two friends quickly briefed each other on current events while promising to let the other know what happened. They had just ended their call when the doorbell chimed, letting them know that they had a visitor.

Back at the Matthews/Williams, Adrian had just entered the security room after making sure that his boys were out of harm's way. While awaiting his orders on how to proceed, his guys were watching the monitors surveying the scene. It was no surprise to Adrian as to what they were looking at because he expected something that would get the neighbors' attention. He'd never seen Louisa Matthews do anything that didn't get someone's attention focused on her.

They were looking at a squad of police vehicles swarming the front gates and demanding access to the house. Among them were Jalisa and Louisa along with a man they had never seen before. "I guess the time has come!" Adrian sighed and told the guy controlling the gates to let them through. Then he, Pat, and Darren headed up front to get whatever this was over with. Mattie quietly followed behind them while trying to remain inconspicuous. He didn't want to make his presence known until it was time. They arrived just as Jeffrey was opening the door and stood there waiting with no fear.

The officer who was in charge asked him if he was Adrian Williams; in which he replied that he was. "I have a warrant here for your arrest." He tauntingly waved the papers in front of their faces with a smile.

Adrian snatched them out of his hand before he could pull it back and looked it over. "I see, and what exactly am I being arrested for?"

"Kidnapping, child abuse, and child molestation," the officer answered with delight. "Please put your hands behind your back to be cuffed; then we can collect the children and be done with this."

Adrian stared at the two ladies incredulously but was seething on the inside. "Really Louisa? You would go this far to destroy your son's happiness? I thought mothers are suppose to love their children no matter what? It seems like that only applies to you when they do things your way." He then turned back to the officer without giving her a chance to respond. "I'm sorry you wasted your time officer, but you have no grounds to arrest me. I have legal custody of all four of my children so there has been no kidnapping involved, nor has there been any abuse or molestation."

Mrs. Matthews loudly proclaimed that Adrian was lying, causing him to smirk devilishly. "Are you sure about that Louisa or are you just assuming it? It seems like you just charged ahead without actually doing your homework because the proof is easy to find if you had just looked for it."

The officer was beginning to realize that things may not be as they appeared but covered it up with a cocky attitude. "Well, let's just discuss that at the station shall we? Now put your hands behind your back before I have to add resisting arrest to the charges."

Adrian smiled deviously as he turned around and put his hands behind his back to let the officer handcuff him while reading him his rights. "Pat, let Jeremy Wilson know what's going on and tell him to meet me at the police station. Someone is going to pay dearly for this injustice and suffer my wrath." He then winked at Mattie who stepped forward looking disbelievingly at his mother who in turn looked surprised at seeing him there.

"Mother, have you completely lost your mind?" He asked completely flabbergasted. "Do you know what you're getting yourself into with this outrageous stunt? Gabriel will never forgive you if you go through with this and neither will I. Are you willing to lose two of your children just to hold on to your religious beliefs?"

"Be quiet Mateo!" Louisa Matthews demanded. "I'm just doing what's necessary to put Gabriel's family back together and put him back on the right track. Eventually you will both see that I only have your best interests at heart and I'm doing the right thing."

Mattie shook his head in disbelief. "You must be further gone than I've thought if you actually believe that bullshit! Gabriel has already given Adrian the green light to do whatever is necessary to protect their family; and I do mean whatever is necessary. So the way I see it, you either stop this vendetta right now or suffer the consequences of your actions on your own because you won't have Gabriel's or my support in this."

That news shocked Louisa Matthews to her core. She recognized the unspoken threat behind that statement and what it could mean for her but she didn't let it hinder her plans. She smiled with absolute misplaced confidence that Gabriel wouldn't let any harm come to her by the hands of this homewrecker and neither would Mateo. The officer sent his colleagues in to get the boys and bring them out. Mrs. Matthews tried to send Mattie in to help them which he refused with an irate "Like hell I will!" further fueling her anger towards Adrian for turning two of her children against her. She sneered at him with so much resentment but it didn't faze him at all.

"How can you turn your back on your own mother like this?" Jalisa asked, speaking up for the first time. "After all she did to raise you, she deserves some respect and obedience."

"I don't owe you any explanation bitch!" Mattie spat revoltingly. "That's not the way you talk to a lady Mateo. I raised you better than that!" Louisa Matthews admonished her son, in which he ignored completely. "None of this would have happened if you hadn't tried to get your grubby gold digging hands on my brother's money! You were a horrible wife and an even worse mother and here you are still trying to sink your teeth into him. Well tramp, as the song goes, `Might as well face it, you're addicted to love; and his love doesn't include your ass!"

Once again Mrs. Matthews tried to admonish her son for his language but was still being ignored. Five minutes later one of the officers came back to inform the head officer that the children were nowhere to be found which sent everything into an uproar. Jalisa, Louisa, and the officer started hurling questions at Adrian who just stood there with a smirk on his face and not answering any of them.

Knowing she wasn't going to get anything from Adrian, Mrs. Matthews turned to her son. "Where are my grandchildren Mateo?" Mattie just stood there grinning and not saying a word. "I know you know where they are so you better tell me now." Still all she got was a grin.

Now teed off, the head officer dismissed his fellow officers from the scene then led Adrian out and put him into his patrol car to take him to the station for booking. In the meantime, the two ladies tried forcing their way into the house but were stopped by the three guys. Louisa turned to her attorney demanding that he do something but was informed that there was nothing he could do if the children weren't there to take into custody. They just have to take care of what they could do for now.

Louisa Matthews glared at the two security guys but it was obvious that she was talking to her son. "How could you turn your back on your family for some perverted lowlife who's an abomination in the eyes of God? I've never been so disappointed in you in my entire life."

Mattie looked straight into her eyes with no pity. "I didn't turn my back on my family; you did. Your homophobic attitude not only cost you two children, but seven grandchildren, and quite possibly your health. I suggest you enjoy the time you have left because when Adrian is finish with you, there will be no chance for you to cause them any more problems."

He shoved the three of them out the door while ordering them to be off the property within five minutes then slamming it in their faces. All three stood there wondering what went wrong when they started noticing several people coming towards them with unfriendly expressions. They quickly got into their vehicles and hightailed it off the premises before they found themselves even deeper in the quicksand.

Both ladies were angry that their mission didn't go as they'd planned. Louisa was still fuming that two of her own children had betrayed her and sided with her enemy in all of this. She couldn't comprehend how Gabriel could consent to Adrian taking any drastic actions just to continue with his immoral life style and now he has her oldest child fighting against her as well. Her beliefs were blinding her from seeing the deep bond between her son and the man he loves that is giving them both the strength to keep fighting against all odds. She was angry and frustrated that nothing she did had worked so far and she was beginning to run out of ideas to get Gabriel to see things her way.

Jalisa, on the other hand, was thinking of more ways to get her hands on Gabriel's wealth. She didn't care about being a family; she just wanted his money to afford her the luxuries that she had convinced herself of being entitled to after all of the pain she endured giving birth to those two brats of his. She was money-hungry and she didn't think that a million dollars was nearly enough of a payment to satisfied her needs nor her bank account. She wanted more and she wasn't going to stop until she gets it or die trying.

Once the three unwelcome guests were off the property, Darren went to retrieved the kids from the secret room while Patrick called Jeremy Wilson. Mateo sent a text to his brother informing him of the occurrence and assured him that he'll keep the boys safe until Adrian gets home. He would have called him but just like Adrian, Mateo knew that texting was the best method of contacting Gabriel whenever he was on assignment; that way it wasn't interfering with anything which may be potentially dangerous for him.

While all of that was going on at home, DMoney and Julian's boys were arriving at their destination. As they stepped off the plane, they saw an elderly lady standing by her minivan waiting for them with a welcoming smile. They all rushed over to give her a hug and a kiss on the cheek. She returned the hugs joyously and asking them how her favorite grandchildren were. The boys rolled their eyes teasingly but it was Mike who replied that all of her grandchildren were her favorites.

"Hush child, it's a grandmother's prerogative to claim any of her grandchildren as her favorite if she chooses." She then looked down at EJ sleeping in his carrier while ignoring another eye roll from the boys. "And how is my little darling doing? Are you boys taking good care of him?"

"Yes grandma," both Mike and Ethan answered. "He's actually one of the main reasons why we're here." Mike added and then explained what was going on at home.

"Yes, I know that already," Cathleen Morrison responded. "Your father called me this morning to inform me of your arrival. Before EJ was born, he and Julian both suspected that something like this would happen sooner or later and made arrangements with me to take you in until they could get it all resolved and it was safe for you to go back home."

"Wow, Dad D really plans ahead doesn't he?" The astonishment was clearly shown in Ethan's expression. "Neither Mike nor I suspected something like this could happen and it caught us completely off guard."

Cathleen sympathized with them as she open the trunk for them to put their bags in. Once they had them all loaded, they got in the van and headed to her house where the boys would be staying until they were called to return home.

"Don't forget, you both may be parents now but you're still two growing boys. Some people can be very ruthless to get what they want regardless of whom they hurt. The world can be a dangerous place to live in if you don't know what's going on. I believe there's an old saying that all of you need to understand. `Not by age, but by knowledge, is wisdom acquired'. So don't feel bad that you didn't suspect it; and just take it as a learning experience for future situations."

Although she was talking to Mike and Ethan, all of the boys took it to heart knowing it was sound advice that could be very useful. The boys were getting hungry so Mrs. Morrison stopped at a carry-out establishment that specialized in barbecue delicacies and picked up a large order of barbecue ribs and chicken, including potato salad, baked beans, coleslaw, and cornbread. She topped the order off with two gallons of sweet ice tea to quench their thirst. Nothing was too good for her grandchildren and she was going to see that they had some fun to keep their minds off of their troubles.

When they arrived at her house, the boys went to unpack while she laid out the food. Mike started heating up a bottle for EJ but she insisted on taking care of him herself. "Are you sure grandma? I don't want you feeling like you have to wait on us hand and foot. We can take care of ourselves you know."

"Oh nonsense child, sit down and eat and I'll take care of my great-grandchild." She waved him off then gestured towards the table. "It's going to be great having you boys here. I've missed the chaotic sound of having youngsters running around in the house."

Mike did as she said and joined the other boys who were already chowing down. "All You have to do is say the word and Dad and Dad J will make all of the arrangements to move you back home. In fact, they still keep the guest room ready just in case you change your mind."

"That's nice of them but these old bones couldn't stand the harsh winters anymore. It's better if I stay in a warm climate where I'll be comfortable."

Ethan knew Mike wasn't going to win that argument so he changed the subject. "If you don't mind me asking Grandma, how did you handle it when Dad D came out?"

That was something Cathleen Morrison didn't expect to hear and it threw her off guard. Just then the microwave dinged, indicating that EJ's bottle was warmed so she used that time to join them at the table and began to feed him while collecting her thoughts. "Actually, I didn't need to handle anything. I guess you can call it mother's intuition; but I knew my son was different from other boys long before he told me and had already come to terms with it after the reading I did up on it.

My first reaction was to think like any mother would have if their son was gay because it meant that I wouldn't be getting any grandchildren from him. Then I realized that there was more than one way to have children these days so he still had that option open if he choose to take it. You can imagine how surprised I was when he told me that he was bisexual. I mean, here I was expecting to hear that he likes boys, and he admits that he fancies both sexes. My first thought was `he sure is greedy isn't he?" That brought a round of giggles from everyone. "My second thought was to just accept it and support him in any way I can. I never suspected that he would give me not only one, but four grandchildren and a great grandchild to spoil rotten."

That last statement brought smiles to all of the boys' faces. She may not be related to most of them by blood, but the love she has for them all makes up for that insignificant part of their relationship. After finishing feeding EJ, he fell asleep so Mrs. Morrison put him in his bassinet and joined the boys, making a small plate of food for herself. They spent the rest of the time eating, with her catching up on their lives including school, sports, and personal hobbies.

After clearing the table from lunch, Mrs. Morrison told Mike to bring down the envelope that he was given and she'll lock it up in the safe. Mike brought both envelopes down and gave the one containing the phones to Ethan to pass out; then he joined his grandmother in the study. Before handing the envelope over to her, he pulled out a thousand dollars to use as spending money for now and the rest was safely locked away for future use. The boys decided to stay in for the afternoon to relax and recover from their flight before seeing what the town had to offer during their stay.

DMoney and Julian were getting a little worried because they haven't heard anything from Adrian yet. With their boys away, they had some time on their hands so they decided to check on things at the house. Once they were sure that the boys were okay, they got the details of the confrontation from Darren and Pat then headed for Glenmont Station; where they were positive that Adrian was taken to because it was the closest precinct to the house.

They spoke with the sergeant at the front desk, enquiring about the status of one Adrian Williams and was told that he was being questioned. They thanked her for the information and had a seat to wait for further developments. An hour later Adrian along with Jeremy Wilson walked out of the interrogation room and they stood letting their appearance be easily seen. Both men came over discussing a counter strike against the fiasco that Adrian had endured to show all parties who was involved that he wasn't going to take it lying down. He already had a few ideas in mind for the key players and was coming up with several more each time he thought about it.

They shook hands with Jeremy and gave Adrian a sympathetic hug. "Are you free to go?" DMoney asked his best friend. Adrian said that he was so they headed towards the exit.

When they were outside, Jeremy told Adrian that he'll get started on his part of their retaliation first thing Monday morning. Adrian thanked him for his help and the two departed with a handshake. Jeremy headed towards his car while Adrian got in with DMoney and Julian to get back home. The first thing he did when they arrived was to check on his kids to make sure that they were all okay. Once he was satisfied that they were, he pulled DMoney, Julian, Darren, and Pat into his office for a private discussion. He explained his proposition to them and what he needed from each to pull it off successfully. Everyone agreed to what he asked of them and a few even offered some suggestions that he'd never even thought of. He included a few in his plans and disregarded the others that didn't suit his purpose in what he was attempting to accomplish.

Once he had a rough draft of his plan, Adrian thanked them all for their assistance; then they rejoined the boys in the game room. There may need to be some changes to the plan every now and then as they start putting it into action but for now they were content with what they had outlined and were confident that it would work. DMoney and Julian stayed with them for another hour then said their goodbyes and left to take advantage of having the house to themselves. Julian wanted to make a special dinner for DMoney and himself and then curl up on the couch wrapped up in his man's arms watching movies until they fall asleep.

While Julian was busy in the kitchen, DMoney used that time to start on their part of Adrian's plan. It took a few calls; but he finally had everything that he needed arranged and being carried out. Next he did some research of his own so he would have something to compare with the information that he will receive in order to write a report to give to his best friend. He was at it until he heard Julian's voice calling him to dinner at which point he stopped to spend the rest of the day with his lover.

Around nine o'clock that night Gabriel called to check on things and got a full debriefing from Adrian on the altercation and his plans on retaliating. With Gabriel being sworn to uphold the law, Adrian only told him the parts that teetered on the edge of being legal so he wouldn't be caught up in any ramifications of being involved. He knew how much Gabriel loves his job and didn't want to jeopardize his career by any technicalities. However, Gabriel did have his own message to send; and he demanded that Adrian deliver it when the time was right if he wasn't there to deliver it himself. He received a promise that it would be and the subject was closed. Gabriel then talked to his brother for a while before talking with Adrian again. Twenty minutes later the boys were beginning to fall asleep and they said goodnight so Adrian could put them to bed. Once he had tucked them all in, he too turned in to get a good night's sleep.

The next morning after breakfast DMoney continued his research. With help from Julian, they quickly had what they could find and filed it away for now. They then curled up on the couch in the living room with Julian between DMoney's legs to watch some television; but that was as far as they had gotten. It was still early and they were still recuperating from a busy week at the office that they had fallen asleep before they even knew it.

When Sunday service was over, the Masons went out for their usual brunch. Unfortunately for both families, they chose the same restaurant where Alonzo and his family were also eating. After the drama of yesterday, Adrian wanted to counteract that with a special treat for his boys. The Masons weren't happy to see them there and a snarl crossed all of their faces, except Keith's was a façade for his family. He knew that deep down he still felt the same for Alonzo as he did in the seventh grade and that petrified him. What scared him even more was that he could see that Alonzo felt the same between them but wasn't pushing him in any way.

"What is that disgusting cretin doing here?" Mr. Mason grunted. "I heard that he was arrested yesterday so how did he get released so soon?"

"I don't know dear," Mrs. Mason answered her husband. "But I think it goes without saying that they didn't have enough evidence to hold him; otherwise, he'd still be locked up."

"Being an abomination in the eyes of God should be enough to convict and sentence him with the death penalty alone." He shook his head in disbelief, receiving a nod of agreement from everyone except for Keith. "It's perverts like him who destroy honest families like he did with our neighbors. I don't know how two good looking and strong men would decide to live an immoral and despicable life style. Just goes to show you how they're trying to recruit normal people into their perverted habits."

Although Keith wasn't paying much attention to the conversation, he did catch his father's description of Alonzo's parents' physical stature and pondered over it. It seems like his father had noticed both men's attributes but kept it a secret from everyone. Keith wondered if there was something to that as he continued listening to the conversation while sneaking peaks at Alonzo as he looked over his menu.

Across the restaurant, Adrian and Alonzo observed the Masons being seated but gave no indication that they had. They just continued enjoying their outing with their family and not paying them any mind. From time to time Alonzo snuck some glances at Keith, completely unaware that Adrian was keeping a close eye on him. The more he observed, the better he understood the squabble that now existed between the two boys. He realized that he and Gabriel may have gotten the wrong impression on a couple of other things concerning their eldest child which needed to be rectified soon.

Once they had finished their meal and the bill had been paid, they began to leave the restaurant. They were just passing the Mason's table when a voice called out, "How's it going fag? Destroy any more families?"

Adrian stopped and turned towards the man with a confident smirk. He knew that Mr. Mason purposely spoke loud enough to get everyone's attention to try and embarrass him. "Why, if it isn't good old Perry Mason," he taunted devilishly. "Have you won any good cases yet old chum, or are you still trying to land one of those while dealing with the small time legal counseling? Too bad that your firm's ratings aren't going as well as the TV show did."

Mr. Mason's face turned red from embarrassment and anger. The laughter coming from everyone within hearing range was directed at him and not the intended target that he was hoping for. Seeing her husband totally flustered, Mrs. Mason tried intervening to divert the laughter away from him. "That's funny coming from a black overgrown Bud Bundy."

Adrian laughed out loud sarcastically. "Good one Maggie." He retorted, not backing down an inch. "Did you come up with that while eating those chocolate covered bonbons that you like so much while watching Oprah? Be honest now, you've recorded every episode of the series, didn't you?"

When Mrs. Mason had no come back, one of the patrons in the restaurant jumped up out of his seat gesturing. "Game, set, and match! That's a wrap ladies and gentlemen. I believe we have a winner!"

A roar of laughter went up embarrassing Mr. and Mrs. Mason even more. Their sons tried to be unobtrusive by hiding their red faces behind their menus from the crowd. When Keith peaked over the top of his, he saw Alonzo looking at him in amusement mixed with a little sorrow. Adrian gave the couple a warning not to start a confrontation unless they were assured victory and left the restaurant to the sound of applause. Both boys hid their faces further behind their menus as their parents continued to smolder from embarrassment.

Mr. and Mrs. Mason were still distressed when the waiter came to take their orders so the boys went first, giving their parents more time to calm down. When he left to fill them, Mr. Mason let out a stream of profanity about how he was embarrassed by Adrian. They all let him vent unaware of both boys having the same thought of their father being the one to blame for starting the dispute in the first place. He ended his tirade just as the waiter returned with their orders which finally gave the boys the chance to hear their own thoughts.

Adrian continued his outing with the boys by taking them to a movie after brunch. There was one that Alonzo wanted to see but it was too extreme for the three little ones. Mattie took him to see that movie while Adrian took the others to see one that was more appropriate for their ages. Half way through it both Jamy and Tony fell asleep so Adrian just continued watching the movie with Theo letting them sleep. Afterwards, they did a little shopping at the mall next door with he and Mattie carrying the two sleeping beauties until it was time to head home.

Dinner was nearly done when they arrived so they quickly washed up. They had just sat down at the table when the doorbell chimed, indicating a visitor. No one was alarmed by that because not many people had access to the property so everyone had a good idea as to who it could be. They were proven correct when DMoney and Julian walked in the kitchen a couple of minutes later. Jeffrey had called and invited them to dinner at Sean and Bryan's request. Tonight the two chefs decided to go southern by making a big batch of pig feet, chitlins, collard greens, black eyed peas, and cornbread. Two large pitchers each of strawberry lemonade and sweet ice tea were set on the table for beverages. For dessert they had homemade apple pie with peanut butter ripple Turkey Hill ice cream. It goes without saying that by the time they were finished eating they were all stuffed!

They helped with clearing the table and putting away the leftovers before adjourning into the living room to let their food digest and watch television. They hadn't been there long when Jeffrey entered and informed Adrian that he has a phone call.

"Who is it?" He replied that it was Mrs. Amee. "Thank you Jeffrey, I'll take it in my office."

Jeffrey acknowledged the request and left to continued with his work. Adrian gave DMoney a nod to his questioning look; then the two got up and left the room heading for Adrian's office. Once the door was closed, he put the phone on speaker so DMoney could hear. "Hi Grandma, how are you?"

"I'm doing fine but what about you?" Mrs. Amee responded quickly turning the question around. "I heard that you had some uninvited guests yesterday. What's going on over there?"

Adrian told her about Louisa and Jalisa's attempt to have him arrested for kidnapping, child abuse, and child molestation. He explained how they wanted to capitalize on Gabriel being out of town to take the children away from them. He further explained how he suspected that they wanted to use them as leverage in forcing Gabriel to obey their demands and therefore getting what they wanted.

"I'm guessing that they never expected for the whole operation to be a complete bust and them leaving still empty handed. I'm glad that Gabe was smart enough to arrange some provisions in case of any trouble while he's on assignment. It's pretty obvious that Louisa has no limits in her vendetta against our relationship."

Mrs. Amee agreed wholeheartedly. "Which leads me to the question. What are you going to do about it?" Adrian tried to sound innocent when he asked her what she meant by that. "Don't try to play that game with me Adrian Williams! I know that you have some type of retaliation in mind so what is it?"

Both Adrian and DMoney tried to stifle their snickers confirming their grandmother's suspicions. "I can hear DeWayne laughing in the background so I'm positive now that you're up to something; so out with it."

Once they had composed themselves, Adrian gave her a brief explanation of his plans for getting his revenge on the two ladies and DMoney's involvement in the process. He didn't divulge his course of action nor did she ask for it. She trusted her boys and believes that they knew what they were doing so she didn't need to know any specific details. All she asked them for was a promise to be careful in which they gladly gave her. They talked a little longer about mundane things before saying goodbye and hanging up. The two men then rejoined the others in the living room.

An hour later, DMoney and Julian's phone rang with Mike and Ethan calling to check in with their parents. Both men put their call on speaker and told the boys to do the same on their end. That way everyone could talk as a group without the hassle of passing the phones around. Each side updated the others on current conditions and how soon they thought the boys could come back home where they belong. No one had an answer to that question which put all of the boys in a distraught mood over having their lives interrupted over some people's rigid beliefs that a true family only consisted of a man and woman conceiving and raising children. Julian assured his boys that he and DMoney will have them home soon and not to worry.

They talked for about fifteen more minutes before ending their calls and pocketing their phones. Twenty minutes later it was Adrian's phone that was ringing with a call from Gabriel. He too wanted an update on things and to let Adrian know that he was close to wrapping up his assignment and would be home soon. That lifted everyone's mood a little, especially Adrian's and the boys. Not long after that call, DMoney and Julian went home and Adrian put the little ones to bed. He decided to keep Alonzo home from school tomorrow so he gave him permission to stay up a little longer. By ten thirty the house was quiet with everyone in bed and dead to the world.

Adrian didn't welcome the screech of his alarm clock when he was jolted awake on Monday morning. He kept hitting the snooze button to try and get some more shuteye only to be awakened again shortly after falling back to sleep. After the third or fourth time, he finally gave up and turned the annoying thing off then got out of bed heading for his bathroom. Once he was showered and dressed, he went to wake the boys, then went down for breakfast before going into the office.

After informing the school of their boys' absentees for the next few days, DMoney and Julian met with their employees in the conference room to go over their work schedule for the week. They had just returned to their office when their intercom buzzed so DMoney answered it while Julian checked the messages that were left on his desk during their meeting. It was their secretary Milie (Emilia), notifying them of someone asking to speak with them. They nearly blew a gasket at the audacity of the individual who was making the request but kept their composure. DMoney was too pissed to say anything so Julian granted the request while DMoney calmed down and caged his rage.

When Milie walked in with their visitor, Julian thanked her then gestured for the person to have a seat in one of the leather chairs facing their desks. She returned his smile with heartfelt love and left the office and closing the door behind her. Although it was difficult, both guys held back their animosity as they stared at the person before them while pondering on the reason for this visit. They remained silent and their faces were impassive as they waited for the explanation.

Not far from Matmor's Security, Adrian was beginning his plan of retaliation against his two current enemies. The information that he had gotten from DMoney the previous day gave him an idea to use to his advantage now and he was taking that opportunity to do so. He surprised his secretary when he walked into the office because she assumed that he would be working from home until the situation with Jalisa and Mrs. Matthews was resolved, or at least a couple of more days. He explained that he was only there for a couple of hours to get some work done and make some arrangements. With the predatory look that he had in his eyes, Judy was certain that she didn't want to know what those arrangements were so she simply nodded in affirmation.

When he was finished making his arrangements, Adrian contacted his realtor concerning a property that he was considering buying because it fitted well into his plans. The realtor agreed to check into it and give him a call once she had some information on the article in question. Adrian gave her the details on it and thanked her before ending the call. Next he called a friend of his who is the director of account management at his local bank. He told his friend what he needed his assistance with and how soon he needed it done. The director reluctantly agreed to help him but insisted on a few stipulations. Adrian had no problem with agreeing to the terms because he also thought of the same suggestions. Once he had accomplished what he needed to do, he left for lunch.

That afternoon Jalisa and Louisa Matthews met with another one of their accomplices. Towards the end of the little gathering, the shady character handed Jalisa a large manila envelope containing some papers. She carefully looked over the contents of the documents with Louisa glancing over her shoulder doing the same. After verifying that they were the correct papers, she slid over a stuffed envelope which the individual took it and placed in inside the left pocket of a leather jacket. Jalisa informed the person that she may have more work in the near future as she and Louisa stood and exited the restaurant.

Late that afternoon Adrian received a call from his realtor with the information that he was waiting for. It all fitted perfectly into his plans so he gave her instructions on what to do next. When he was finished with that call, he made several others to start putting it all into motion. He wanted to have everything arranged before he made his strike. Now that the gloves were off, he was not holding back any punches and will make every blow count.

Just as DMoney and Julian were locking up their office for the day, one of their employees walked in looking agitated. Immediately they knew that they weren't going to like what they were about to hear in concerning his assignment but they kept their composure. They gestured for him to have a seat and waited for the bad news that was forthcoming.

The guard took a deep breath then told them everything that he had found out. Both men took notes to compare later so they could revise a plan to settle the entire situation. Once the employee was finished, DMoney thanked him for the information and instructed him to let everyone involved with the case to know to keep observing and to report back to them. They wanted to know every little detail in order to stay a step ahead and bring it all to an end. The guard consented to the order and left the office, leaving the two owners to finally lock up and head home.

After changing clothes and relieving Jeanette for the day, Adrian, Pat, and Darren went to Adrian's office for a brief meeting. After comparing notes, they went over further plans they needed to have in place for Adrian to begin his retaliation. They had just finished when the call for dinner sounded over the intercom of the house. They headed for the kitchen with Adrian going to get the boys while mentally reminding himself to give DMoney a call after dinner to compare notes with him and Julian.

After tidying up the kitchen, DMoney and Julian went to their office to make some calls. Julian's was to his and DMoney's attorney. He briefly explained what was going on before bringing up the reason for his call. He needed him to draw up a contract and have it delivered to their corporate office no later than noon tomorrow. Jeremy told him that he'll get started on it first thing in the morning and have it there on time. Julian thanked him and was about to hang up when Jeremy blindsided him with something else.

While Julian was taking care of business with Jeremy, DMoney was strategizing with Adrian regarding their next move. After they had compared notes, both men had the same idea that would work to both of their advantages and would kill two birds with one stone. They had just finished working out the logistics when Julian got done with his call. Both men assured the other that they will have everything in place by eleven. They talked a little while longer about inconsequential things before ending their call. No sooner had they hung up when the houseline rang with the boys calling. DMoney put the phone on speaker and they spent quite an amount of time catching up with their boys and assuring them that their problem will soon be rectified.

After talking with the boys, both men were ready to relax for the rest of the night. Julian went into the kitchen to prepare some snacks for them while DMoney went upstairs to set up a movie on the television in the bedroom. They undressed down to their birthday suits and then got comfortable on the bed to watch their movie.

Half way through the movie they placed their empty cans and dishes on the nightstand before lying down and cuddling up with Julian's head on DMoney's chest and a arm and leg draped over him. It wasn't long before their hands began roaming over each other's body, relishing in what was sure to be a night of passion. Lifting his head, DMoney planted a gentle but passionate kiss upon Julian's lips that increased the heat of their intimacy. Julian crawled on top of DMoney and positioned himself between his legs to deepen the kiss and started grinding their cocks together. A minute later he broke the kiss long enough to turn the television off and put the remote on the nightstand before resuming his task at hand. A short time later he worked his way down DMoney's body still paying extra attention to his most erotic pleasure points until he reached his prize. Standing at attention was the biggest and hardest cock he had ever seen with all ten inches in its glorious beauty.

He licked up the rigid shaft capturing the precum that was oozing from the head onto his tongue. He then took the head into his mouth and twirled his tongue all around collecting up the remaining fluids. He slowly sank his way down, taking all thick ten inches down his throat until his lips hit skin where he used those muscles to squeeze the throbbing phallus that caused DMoney to shiver from the exquisite pleasure. He performed that action for a couple of minutes before he started bobbing up and down while moaning his enjoyment. The vibrations on his cock nearly had DMoney spewing his load too quickly.

Not wanting the fun to end too soon, DMoney pulled Julian back up so they were once again face to face. "Not yet baby; I don't want to cum until I get in that sweet ass of yours." He then pulled Julian down for another kiss as he rolled them over so that he was on top. He gave Julian the same treatment that he had just received moments before.

When he reached Julian's cock, he gave the head a kiss, smearing the precum around his lips while squeezing more out to coat three of his fingers with the precious fluid. He then stuffed each finger up his lover's ass until he had all three in while plunging his mouth completely down Julian's thick eight and a half inches. Julian raised his hips up off the bed which sent his cock further down DMoney's throat. "Mmmm, mmmm," he moaned around the thick organ which gave Julian extra stimulation from the vibrations. He started out with slow gentle strokes but was soon rapidly thrusting his fingers in and out of Julian's ass bringing him closer to the edge.

"Oh god baby, slow down. I don't want to cum just yet." Julian cried out as he grabbed two handful of sheets while squeezing his eyes shut trying to hold off his orgasm. Instead of heeding the plead, DMoney sped up his thrusting and increased his suction making Julian's body quiver in blissful eroticism as he came closer to erupting down his lover's oral orifice that awaited to accept every last drop of creamy nectar. "Oh oh oh oh, I'm cumming baby!"

He barely got the last word out before he started unloading which gave DMoney just enough time to pull back until just the head was left in his mouth. He kept up with the vigorous massage on Julian's prostate as he swallowed drop after drop of molten hot lava until he had it all. Julian collapsed on the bed as DMoney pulled his fingers out and crawled up to plant gentle kisses on his lips while letting him ride out the remainder of his orgasm.

Once he had recovered, he opened his eyes to see his man smiling down at him. "Did you enjoy that my love?"

Julian got a dreamy smile on his face. "It was fantastic but I wanted to cum with you making love to me."

DMoney grinned mischievously. "Don't worry, that was just round one. I plan on fucking another load out of you tonight."With that, he moved back down and lifted Julian's legs up, exposing his rosebud to the air.

He kissed both butt cheeks then lightly licked around the hole before darting his tongue in and fucking it like a starving man on a diet. Every minute or two he pulled his tongue out bringing the ass lips along with it. He sucked them into his mouth biting and nibbling, making them puffy and wet for his cock. After ten minutes of that, he reached over and grabbed the lube from the nightstand drawer and quickly coated his raging cock and Julian's ass whole then throwing the bottle back into the drawer. Once he had his steel rod positioned at the entrance of Julian's ass, he smiled down at his mate and got a smile and nod for an answer. He first met some resistance but soon the ring relaxed and permitted the monstrous invader access to the inner most being of his soul mate. After the massive mushroom head had popped through, Julian's rectal muscles immediately clamped down but quickly relaxed and allowed the invasion. Five minutes later he had all thick ten inches inside and was adjusting to the intrusion with DMoney's tongue down his throat.

After giving him time to adjust to the huge organ, DMoney pulled out until only the head was left inside then pushing back in sending waves of pleasure through Julian's system as it made contact with his prostate. He began with slow easy strokes to give the rectal muscles more time to relax for what was to come later. Every time DMoney withdrew, Julian tightened his muscles around the monster that was giving him so many tantalizing sensations. The added friction made DMoney's cock even harder and enticed him to increase his strokes. The moans coming from his love assured him that he was making him feel good and encouraged him on.

"That's it baby, fuck me harder! Make my man pussy feel good with that monster cock of yours," Julian chanted between breaths of air. "Does my baby feel daddy's big cock pounding his pussy good?" DMoney asked with a seductive grin. "Yes daddy; your baby feels it all and he wants more so give it to me." Julian moaned as he raised his ass higher for a deeper penetration. "Your wish is my command."

With that, DMoney increased the velocity of his thrusts, making Julian moan even louder. After fifteen minutes of fucking in the missionary position, he flipped him over into the doggie style position without removing his cock which resulted in a deeper penetration. By now Julian's moans were getting higher to indicate that he was enjoying every torturous stab at his love button. With every thrust forward, Julian pushed backward meeting him with stroke for stroke. Both guys were glistening in sweat from their exertion but neither man was close to finishing their escapade so they continued on with the journey. Twenty five minutes later DMoney changed their position once again with Julian riding him this time and him holding onto Julian's waist. Every time he thrusted upward he would pull Julian down onto his cock that excited him with volts of electrical delights in the process.

It was nearly an hour of love making when both men began to reach climax. Julian's arms and legs were shaking from fatigue due to balancing himself on DMoney's chest but he was determined to hold out for his man. Sensing that Julian was close to the edge, DMoney dug his heels into the bed and sped up the intensity of his thrusts while being sure to hit Julian's prostate with every stroke. He began rapidly fucking in and out of him causing him to shake uncontrollably from the speed. Soon they were approaching the driveway of paradise to make a delivery of tranquility.

Julian was the first one to reach the end of the ride of ecstasy and sprayed his load. "Holy shiiiit, I'm cuuuumming!" He shouted loud enough to even wake the dead. His first shot hit the headboard of the bed with the second hitting DMoney in the middle of his forehead. The rest covered him completely from neck to groin. The vice-like grip around his cock pulled DMoney along for the ride causing him to spray Julian's insides with his offering. "Holy fuuuuck, here it cuuuums!" He shouted nearly as loud as his mate. Both men's bodies shook in convulsions from the intensity of their orgasms releasing the contents of their fully loaded balls. Finally drained, Julian collapsed on top of DMoney still impaled on his cock with both guys breathing heavily from their exertion. It took several minutes for them to catch their breaths and start to breathe normally again.

When he had regained enough strength, DMoney wrapped his arms around Julian, completely enjoying the warmth of their post orgasmic bliss. Neither man was able to speak yet so they just relished in the feelings of their love. It was several minutes later when the silence was broken but not the tranquility of the night.

"Did my baby get enough to satisfy him tonight?" DMoney whispered in Julian's ear, still coming down off his high. "Oh yes, baby is well satisfied daddy." Julian whispered back contentedly.

A few minutes later DMoney could feel Julian relax completely and his breathing deepened, signifying that he had fallen asleep. He reached down to pull the covers up over them before reaching up to turn off the night light. He kissed his love goodnight on top of the head and was soon joining him in dreamland with a contented smile on his face.

To Be Continued...

Writer's Corner:

Welcome back one and all to another chapter of Where My Heart Belongs.  I hope you had enjoyed reading this chapter as much as I did writing it.  Now let's get to the summary of this chapter, shall we?

We got an unexpected surprise with Gabriel's older brother showing up to try and talk some sense into his mother regarding her actions. That just infuriated Louisa Matthews that two of her sons are now fighting against her and it's pushing her even harder to end Gabriel's relationship with Adrian.

How far will Adrian go now that he has the green light from Gabriel to do whatever it takes to protect their family? I gave some hints in this chapter as to what he has planned for his two biggest enemies.

A new character was introduced in this chapter when DMoney and Julian got their boys out of town to protect them from whatever it is that's after them. What do you think it is that Riley told Mike and Ethan and who does it involve?

Louisa and Jalisa had Adrian arrested for multiple counts of juvenile felonies to try and take the boys which backfired on them, but that didn't deter them from their vendetta. Now they're plotting something else which looks like it may involve some shady business and characters.

DMoney and Julian got a visit from someone they never expected to see. Who could that person be and what could they want?

I gave you guys a break from the cliffhangers this time. Not! I tried but it just didn't work out that way. Instead a love scene came to mind to end the chapter after all of the hectic actions. I hope you guys liked it.

I like to thank Eddie for editing this chapter in the absence of my editor. If you're still out there Trish, then please get in contact with me because I'm really worried about you!

Don't forget to read my other stories. Best Friends located in the Gay/Beginnings section and Malibu Hearts and A Wishful Miracle located in the Gay/High School section of Nifty.

If I had missed anything in my corner, I hope my editor will catch it in her corner.  I need to get started on writing the next chapter for you guys to enjoy reading.

So much is going on and not enough time to write it all out!  New plots are going to open and some will close.  Keep reading the future chapters and enjoy!  Please let me know how I'm doing.  I look forward to hearing your comments and suggestions at {romeo1.jacobmillertex@gmail.com} thanks.
