"Robbie, I am so sorry. I have ruined your night." Robert saw the tears
forming. He held Lucas tightly. Lucas started to cry. Robert's only
comment, "Let it out. It ... was ... not your fault; it was those
bastards. You were your good, trusting self. You're OK. You're OK. You ARE
OK." Finally, his crying became sobs and ended with short intakes of
breath. Robert wanted to reassure him in a very physical way but he knew
that any physical activity would have to wait until his guy came to terms
with what had happened. Eventually they both fell asleep.

Robert awakened at sometime in the middle of the night with Lucas holding
him like a life line. Robert needed the bathroom. As he climbed back in to
the bed, Lucas' eyes popped open. The tears started again. Robert decided
not to talk. He grabbed his guy and held him tightly. He put hands around
Lucas face and looked into his eyes. He kissed him lightly. Like a drowning
man, Lucas clutched him fiercely and kissed Robert with a deep, intense
kiss. Lucas looked into Robert's eyes. With a smile amidst the tears. "My
hero. Did you break that guy's jaw?"

"I can only hope so. You don't take on the partner of the co-captain of the
hockey team and get out without a bump or two."

Robert kissed him hard and suddenly there was an urgency in their
actions. Robert looked at his guy who was suddenly erect and ready. "Lucas,
take me anyway that you want but I want you in me."

Only minutes later with tears in both their eyes, Robert felt Lucas' rhythm
change and from the cathartic look on Lucas' face, he knew that he was
finishing and that he would be OK. Robert had yelled Lucas' name as Lucas
had come out and sucked him to his own cathartic finish. They kissed with
Robert tasting himself. They grabbed each other holding the other as
closely as possible. Sleep claimed them.

Present

Lucas opened his eyes from sleep to see Robert awake and looking at
him. "You look so incredible when you are asleep. Yes I pulled the sheet
down a bit to see that incredible body but the look on your face was almost
angelic. Right!!!" Robert's smile made Lucas smile.

"Thanks for everything that you did for me yesterday. Robbie, I am going to
be OK. After our time together in the middle of the night and a refreshing
sleep, I feel great this morning. There may be flashbacks but I know that
you always have my back." He reached up and pulled Robert in for a mind
blowing kiss.

Robert smiled.  "What do you want to do today? We could just walk down
St. Michel and then down St. Germain into the 6th, the Saint
Germain-des-Pres quarter. Why don't we go down and get a cup of coffee and
some croissants at that cafe we saw the other day. It is off the beaten
path and looks like a local hangout. With our French, we'll fit in."

Before they left, they opened their mail to find a message from Antoine
with his regrets, apologies and a suggestion for dinner at his place
Saturday or Sunday night. He went on to say that it would just be a few
friends and nothing fancy. The two looked at each other and decided that it
was a good way to rid themselves of the events of last night. They set a
time for Sunday evening when they gave him a call.

They had watched how Parisians dressed so when they walked in and spoke to
the young waiter in rapid, excellent French, he looked at them and asked if
they were students at the Sorbonne as he was. They nodded no but did say
that they had been at the Sorbonne last night at a dance with some
friends. The waiter said that he had heard that there had been a problem at
the dance. The guys only said yes and proceeded to order.

The waiter talked to them several times and finally said that he heard a
faint accent. They finally told him that they were Canadian and that was
the accent that he heard.

They left and later had a wonderful meal at a cafe which again was off the
beaten track. It looked as if that was way to operate in Paris.  They had
just walked along the Boulevard Saint Germain looking in shops and stopped
for yet more coffee at some of well know bistros. They did visit the Church
of Saint Germain de Pres. They took the metro and walked around the
L'eglise (church) de la Madeleine and up to the Bvld Haussmann. They went
into a few of the famous department stores and walked until they saw the
Opera Garnier. They didn't feel like a tour.

They caught the metro and arrived back at their apartment in mid
afternoon. They rested. Well, they rested after a rather romantic time
together. It appeared that Lucas had indeed recovered. Then, time for a
shower and dress like young professionals. They arrived at the restaurant
to meet Charles and Emile. They walked around the areas as they decided to
arrive a few minutes after the arranged time.

When they entered the restaurant, they saw Charles stand up. He had a smile
on his face.

As they shook hands, Charles looked at the two. "My, you two do look
spectacular. You do know that you will be he hit on at the club tonight."
The guys shrugged to say that they could deal with that. He then introduced
them to their friends. One was a professor at the Sorbonne; his name was
Claude who was a professor of economics. The other, Thomas, was working
with a computer technology firm. They were pleased that no one made any
comments about Lucas' bruise and cut.

They chatted and Claude ran over the menu with suggestions. The menu did
not have a lot of choices but everything looked incredible. They finally
made their choices and Claude selected their wines.

Charles happened to say that they were lucky that they were not at the
Sorbonne last night. He explained that a young man had been sexually
assaulted by two men.

Robert drew in his breath. "That was actually attempted sexual assault and
they had used a drug on the person."

Claude looked at them. "You seem to know the details. Not that many details
were mentioned in the news reports."

Lucas sighed. He pointed to his face. "We were at the dance last night. I
was the one who was assaulted. You should have seen what my partner did to
one of the guys when he found me just in time." Lucas leaned over and
touched Robert.

There were gasps around the table and they wanted more details. They told
the story in detail. Finally the talk was ended by the arrival of the first
course of appetizers. They were glad that their story ended and both guys
made an effort to not return to the subject. It turned out that appetizers
were as good as the rest of the meal which was fantastic. Robert had
started to talk to Thomas about computer technology and computer languages
that started in the restaurant and continued later. Lucas talked of
forensic accounting and asked questions of Claude's area of expertise. The
guys seem to have fitted in to the group and Robert was certain that he had
seen several approving glances between Emile and Charles during the
meal. They had discovered that the professors' trip had been even better
than they had planned.

It was Robert who had led the way to the club. He smiled as he saw the
entrance. This place had so many memories and had been formative for
him. Even if Andre was not there, he would enjoy it as much as he had the
last time. They walked in and the place had not changed at all. There were
still the well dressed young, professional men that Robert had
remembered. They found a table and Robert scanned the room. Andre was not
there. They got drinks and as the music changed, they all looked at each
other and went to the dance floor.

Lucas looked at Robert. "This is very different from the Sorbonne. A rather
rarefied group of men. You fit in perfectly, the young professional."

"M. (Monsieur) Stephenson, I guess you have no idea how you look in that
suit. Probably the handsomest man in the room and you are mine!" It was a
slow dance and Robert pulled Lucas to him and they danced holding each
other tightly. When a fast dance came up, they danced well but they were a
little more restrained than they would have been at home or as they had
danced the previous night at the Sorbonne.

The set ended and they went back to their table. They were again in
conversation when Robert looked up and started to smile. Andre had walked
in with a very handsome, well built man Andre's age. They went to a table
on the other side of the room and joined some young men whom they obviously
knew. Andre had had his arm around the guy as they walked to the
table. Good, thought Robert, he has found someone special. Robert had
almost rehearsed what he wanted to do.

He leaned over to Lucas. "I would like you to come with me. Andre just
arrived with a guy who looks like his special friend. I want to talk but I
want him to meet you."

"You sure that you don't want this to be your moment."

"No, I want Andre to know how he influenced me and to meet my
partner. You'll like him and I know that he will like my stud." Robert
smiled and started to laugh.

They walked slowly over to the table. Andre was talking to his guy and a
couple of others. Robert just stood looking at the group. Finally one of
Andre's friends looked at him and Lucas. "Puis-je vous aider? (Can I help
you?)"

Robert was looking at Andre not the guy asking the question. Andre stopped
talking and looked up. There was a moment of hesitation and then a gasp,
"Robert! Mon Dieu! (my God) C'est toi! (It's you.) C'est presque
impossible! (It is almost impossible!)"

"Canadian accent and all."

Andre was on his feet and almost ran around the table and embraced
Robert. There were looks of amazement on all at the table.

"Andre, you helped change my life. I would like you to meet my partner.
Andre, Lucas."

Andre had a questioning look on his face, one of almost disbelief. "You had
a girlfriend at home. You said that you were not interested in men."

Robert jumped in. "Do you remember our talk and the kiss before I left. You
did give me a new insight on life and relationships. It turns out that your
were right." Andre gave him another perplexed look. "You said that there
was a little gay in all straight guys. In my case, it turned out to be a
lot more than I ever dreamed possible. I really enjoyed my time with you
and realized that a partner had to be a soul mate. I have found my soul
mate." He looked at Lucas.

"We have to talk. He put an arm around both Robert and Lucas and moved them
around the table. "This is my partner, Lucien. Lucien, this is the guy I
told you about earlier this year. The crazy Canadian, Robert. This is his
partner, Lucas." He paused looking at them. "So, you are in Paris, for how
long?"

"We are here until next Saturday but my dads are coming to Paris Monday
night. We are here tonight with two professors from our university and
their friends. It is a bit of a story."

Andre looked as if he really meant what he was going to say. "I want to sit
and hear your story in detail. Is there any chance that we could get
together late next week? Lucien and I would love to have you for dinner and
catch up."

"That would be great. Yes, we should rejoin our group. I did tell them that
I wanted to speak to an Andre. Mission accomplished. We'll bring some hors
d'oeuvres and some dessert." Turning to Lucien, Robert looked at
him. "Sorry, that we don't have time right now to talk. We'll see you late
next week. I am really glad that we are going to be seeing both of you."
They agreed on Friday night. They exchanged telephone numbers, email
addresses and home addresses. There were hugs in parting.

It was Charles who spoke. "So it looks as if you met Andre. I have told my
friends the story. After they saw you and Lucas dancing, they were
surprised about what happened with Andre. They were even more surprised
that you had a steady girlfriend in high school last year. Robert, you
certainly have made up lost time with your guy."

Emile spoke up. "You guys were so close when you were dancing." Looking at
Robert, "Andre may have given you some things to think about but I suspect,
Lucas has made quite an impact in your life."

The diplomat Robert looked at Lucas. "I think that Lucas and I have had
quite an impact on each other."

The evening passed too quickly with interesting conversation and great
dancing that everyone enjoyed. The guys had had a long day especially after
what had happened at the dance at the Sorbonne the previous night. Charles
looked at them. "We have talked and we would really like to meet your
parents.  Claude and Emile would like to cook a meal and have you and your
fathers for dinner next week."

Robert outlined their father's itinerary and they agreed that Wednesday
night was the only possible time. It was agreed that if his fathers could
not manage it, Robert would phone on Tuesday morning to let them know. They
asked what they could bring and there was a resounding nothing.

"We shall bring wine.  I know you probably have a great wine cellar. We
have an expression in English 'bringing coal to Newcastle'." He explained
it. "My dads have a taste for good wine and I know that they would want to
bring a good bottle. So no discussion. Except, red or white?"

Charles and Emile broke out laughing. Charles was still laughing. "Bossy as
usual. But correct as usual." He looked at his friends. "They will bring
wine. That is always done back home. Everyone enjoys a good red."

The guys were off after establishing times for going to Versailles on
Monday. Robert offered a quick breakfast at their apartment.

They arrived back at the apartment. Lucas looked at Robert. "Andre is not
just interesting. He is hot."

"Yeah, I realized that tonight. I just wasn't interested last year." Lucas
was ready to speak. Robert could see the look on his face. "And I am
certainly not interested now either. I have a my own stud. Andre is not
even close to you. Besides, he can't play hockey."

Robert started to laugh. "Come here." He pulled Lucas to him and gave him a
kiss which turned electric in seconds.

They stood just standing with arms around each other. Lucas had his eyes
half open. "What a wonderful night. I really enjoyed the entire
evening. The professors' friends were so intelligent and great dancers. You
know I think that we are lucky. A lot of gay guys don't even look at older
guys. We are so lucky to have your dads and Charles and Emile as role
models. Christ, Charles and Emile looked so good out on the floor."

Robert was thinking back to last time at this club. "It was interesting. We
must have put on a fair display. No one came to our table to ask us to the
dance."

Lucas looked a bit perplexed. "So! What?"

"When I came with my dads, I had a lot dances with guys. To let them down
easily, I had to tell them about my girlfriend back home. A bit of lie but
.... Tonight, they saw me dancing with the most gorgeous, interesting man
in the club."

"Well, I was asked either because I was dancing with a stud and probably
the brightest guy in the room. Robbie, there are days that I can't believe
how my year has gone." He stopped and searched Robert's face. "I want to
officially make love to you in Paris."

"That is probably the most wonderful thing that anyone has ever said to
me." There were tears in his eyes as he put his arms around Lucas and they
made their way to their room.

It was slow and intense. They edged many times. They felt so close when
they finished just seconds apart. As they finished, they looked in the
others eyes and lost themselves.

They awakened the next morning with Lucas' body molded to Robert's. They
had talked the night before and they knew that they had to get up and
shower. They had seen a really wonderful looking bistro that was off the
beaten track and it looked so lovely, they wanted to have a leisurely
breakfast there.

The bistro was open and there were only a few seats available. Robert had
been correct; it was off the beaten track. They only heard Parisian French
in the bistro. It was mixture of students and locals. They ordered and had
a wonderful breakfast. The coffee was superb and the croissant and sweet
bread the best that they had had in Paris so far. They would return later
in the day to buy some things for breakfast tomorrow for Charles and Emile.

After breakfast, they had a route planned that would take them into areas
where they hadn't been but it would eventually take them to Notre
Dame. They were going to attend mass. Lucas had heard some of what Robert
had said to Brett about attending mass in Notre Dame. In one of their
planning talks, Lucas had asked Robert how to correctly cross himself. He
had attended church so many times with the family and he had just faked it
many times. He wanted to get into the spirit of the their time in Paris.

Lucas was excited as they approached Notre Dame. As they crossed the Seine,
Lucas stopped to just look at the this ancient building with so much
history behind it. It was beautiful with flying buttresses, towers and
elaborate decorative stone work.  There were fairly long lines to go in to
the Cathedral but they seemed to be moving quickly. Robert had explained
that they would walk to the left where there was a small entry to go in to
the area with chairs where people were seated for the mass. They noticed a
large crowd of people behind the ropes that set that area off from that
area where the people were seated for the celebration of the mass. Robert
and Lucas wanted to sit and take in the mass and the beautiful building
itself.

Robert went first and as he entered that area, he crossed himself. He
didn't want to stand out. Robert waited for Lucas who followed him crossing
himself; Robert smiled to himself as Lucas did it perfectly. They walked
quite a way so that they were close to the altar and the priest. The organ
was playing and it filled the area with waves of sound. It was
magnificent. They both let their eyes and heads turn to look at the
interior with pillars and vaults. They both loved the stained glass windows
mentioning to each others portions of the glass that were beautiful. It was
clear that Lucas had much the same reaction as Robert had had with his dads
the previous summer. They were in one of the great pieces of architecture
in the world and they were participating in the mass that had evolved over
two millennia. They were lost in thought and reflections of all that had
happened to them this last year. Both took part in the Eucharist. They let
the sound of the organ flow over them as the organist played the organ at
the end of the service. As they stood to leave, they looked around the huge
interior realizing that they had taken part in a ritual in a church that
was part of their heritage. It had been a magical time for both of them.

They literally wandered back towards the apartment. They bought some hors
d'oeuvres and some really good looking charcuterie and then found a good
wine at another shop for their supper with Antoine. They went to the bistro
where they had had breakfast that morning and bought some croissants, sweet
buns. They had butter and good ground coffee for the next morning when
Charles and Emile arrived.

They arrived at Antoine's apartment to find his girlfriend and two other
couples who they had met on Friday evening. The hors d'oeuvres were
accepted with thanks. It was obvious that Antoine and his friends were
living on student budgets. The wine had a lot of comments; it was a very
good wine.  Robert explained that he and Lucas were lucky as a lot of their
families had given them money for the trip. The conversation was
interesting and intelligent. There were a lot of questions about Robert and
Lucas' courses and their life in Canada. Everyone was impressed that they
played ice hockey for their university team. The guys felt so lucky to have
made this contact. They saw a part of French life that very few visitors
would ever see. They left with apologies from their new friends about the
attack and yet another set of email addresses and promises to keep in
touch.

It had been a busy day and night and the guys fell asleep quickly and
awakened early the next morning. Coffee was made and an assortment of
fruit, croissant and sweet buns were ready when Charles and Emile
arrived. They ate quickly but had a good time going over their days since
supper and the club while eating the excellent coffee and food.

Their trip to Versailles was uneventful and they ended up in line about the
40th people to enter. Both guys were overwhelmed by the size and brilliant
ornamentation of the rooms. The hall of mirrors was stunning as were the
royal rooms. They eventually walked out to the hectares of gardens,
fountains and pools outside the palace itself. Charles had made
reservations for lunch at the Brasserie du Musee. It was not the best food
that they had had in Paris but it was great to sit, eat and chat after a
morning of touring and walking.

Emile and Lucas were enthusiastic about what they had seen. Charles had
looked at Robert several times. He finally decided to ask. "Robert, you
look more subdued than usual."

"Well, just reflecting on the last days which have been great. I enjoyed
the Palace and especially the gardens but I feel a bit tired and worn out
after the last few days with all the highs and lows. I think that on a trip
everyone has a down day. Doesn't mean that that I am not enjoying this or
the company."

"Understood. I am just happy to see Emile and Lucas so enthusiastic."

"You are seeing the real Lucas. He is really bright and he can't hide his
enthusiasm. Strange, one would think that he would be the one to be a bit
down after Friday night's episode but he is resilient."

"You must be looking forward to seeing your dads."

"Yes, we are very close. I know that you will enjoy them. As you know my
Papa is the senior lawyer in his firm and Dad is the major shareholder and
is the CEO of The Accountants. They are well read and interesting. I am
certain that they will want to go to dinner with you and Emile and Claude
and Thomas. We had a really good time last night with our friends from the
Sorbonne."

"I suspect that you are having a very different time than many young
Canadians have in Paris. Didn't I hear that you are going to Andre's on
Friday?"

"I am enjoying every minute that we are here. I can't imagine what my
parents will say when they hear of our time here. Changing the subject, I
would like to wander around the gardens some more and then head back
home. Of course, we'll have to check with Emile and Lucas. I would like to
buy some food for my dads for when they arrive later this evening. We found
a really intimate bistro for breakfast and I think that we'll take them to
it tomorrow morning unless they want to sleep in."

They agreed to spend more time in the gardens and then go back through a
few rooms in the palace. They managed to beat the heavy rush hour with the
packed metro trains. They said their goodbyes and went and bought some food
for their dads. They came back for a rest.

They laughed later at the rest they had. It was a very active rest in their
bed but they did fall asleep for an hour or more. They had bought
themselves some food as well and had a great supper from the charcuterie
(delicatessen), fromagerie (cheese shop) and boulangerie (bakery). To them,
it was a almost a classic French meal.

They were reading when their doorbell rang in the apartment. They guys were
down the stairs and when they opened the door, there were two rather
frazzled looking dads standing with several pieces of luggage. First there
were hugs from the guys to the dads and then they grabbed their bags and
were up the stairs quickly.

Both Jeremy and Timothy almost collapsed into chairs. With a smile Robert
looked at them. "You look as if you need some wine and food. We bought some
interesting stuff. Good trip? You look a bit frazzled."

"Our flight was delayed in Toronto and then it took time to get through
French customs and of course, there were not enough taxis. Our driver spoke
bad French and worse English. We tried to tell him to drop us off. I
finally yelled ici (here) at the end of our street." Jeremy chuckled. "Yes,
I need the whole bottle. Air Canada doesn't have the best or the worst food
but I almost never really enjoy it. Food would be great."

Robert went quickly to the kitchen and they could hear the cork pop out."

Jeremy and Timothy looked at Lucas. Their eyes opened wide. "What happened
to your face?"

Lucas chuckled. "A long story that. Let's wait for Robbie to join us. Here,
I'll go help him."

They came back with a great selection of charcuterie, cheese, bread, some
mixed vegetables and the wine."

"Guys, this looks just like what the doctor would order." They both had
full plates and had a large drink of wine when Timothy looked at them. "OK,
Lucas and the long story."

Lucas smiled at Robert and told him to start the story. "It started on
Wednesday, our first night here. I introduced Lucas to one of those places
where you line up for food and eat it standing. We met a student, Antoine,
from the Sorbonne and ...." He described it in detail up to looking around
at the dance floor and not being able to see Lucas and then the panic
search and finding him.

It was Jeremy looking at Lucas, "First, are you OK?"

Lucas gave Robert a loving smile. "Robbie was so good when they found me
and then back here. He let me get my feelings out and then he was just
Robbie." There were tears in Lucas' eyes as he looked at his guy. "He held
me for hours and I slept as he comforted me and held me tightly. By
morning, as he had told me so many times that night with him, I was OK. The
police had checked me over at the dance. No broken bones and I still feel
tender a bit where they manhandled and hit me but the last days have been
great."

They gave a detailed account of their last days. The dads ended up
laughing. "You have had experiences like very few visitors to Paris ever
have. You have seen the major sites. You have had dinner and dancing with
your professors and their friends, an evening and supper with new, young
friends from the Sorbonne and a great visit to Versailles."

"Oh, by the way, we are all invited for supper at our professors' friends,
Claude and Thomas' home on Wednesday night if you are agreeable."

Shaking his head and laughing, Jeremy looked at the two. "You don't fool
around when you do things. Anything else?"

"Oh, we are having dinner at Andre's home with him and his partner on
Friday evening when you are in Basel."

The dads just looked with admiration at their guys.

It had been a long day for all of them. They finished their food and
everyone decided that it was time for bed. Robert told them that they had
found a really interesting bistro. It was mostly locals who frequented it
and the food and coffee were excellent. They suggested a late breakfast or
lunch there. After discussion, they decided to visit the Louvre as Robert
had not been to it. The dads were always game for some time there.

The guys celebrated a good day and were soon snuggling up to each
other. Robert commented that they still had energy for the important things
in life.

When they awakened, they got up quietly. They were surprised to hear the
voices of the dads who had waited until they heard that the guys were
up. It was quick showers and they were walking together to the bistro.

Timothy looked at the bistro. "This is off the beaten path. It looks so
different from places back home."

When they entered, they were recognized by the owner and the waiter. They
were welcomed back. To make it simple they introduced Jeremy and Timothy as
their fathers. They told his dads what they had had and told them how good
it had been. The guys decided on something different. They ordered a croque
monsieur for themselves. It was the first time that they had had one in
Paris and both wanted a meal that would carry them to lunch. They noticed
that the lunch menu was very interesting. This really was a Paris
bistro. They finally finished their second cup of coffee and were off to
the Louvre.

They walked around the glass pyramid outside the museum. Timothy had
ordered tickets for a guided tour so they went to that entrance which was
not as crowded. The guys would get to see most of the famous masterpieces
and then have a quick tour of many galleries. It was not cheap but the dads
figured it would be the best way for all of them.

They enjoyed the tour and of course the highlights, the Venus de Milo, Mona
Lisa, the Winged Victory of Samothrace, Michelangelo's Dying Slave and many
more. Robert was drawn to the Gothic and Early Renaissance art. He found
the northern Renaissance and early Renaissance in Italy fascinating to see
the artists become more and more realistic. Lucas was fascinated by the
flamboyance of the Baroque period. Jeremy and Timothy loved hearing the two
debate between themselves about the periods that they had fallen for. Of
course, they both had fallen in love with Impressionism. They had to
practically drag them out of the museum.

"Papa, I didn't know what I missed when we didn't go to the Louvre last
summer. This was fantastic."

"Well, it is perhaps the most famous art museum in the world. Someday,
we'll take you to the Uffizi in Florence. It is outstanding as well. You
will love the Medieval and Renaissance galleries which are magnificent."

When they were back at the apartment, they all cleaned up, had a drink and
then went out for dinner. Robert's fathers had decided on one of their
favourite restaurants in the 6th. They were taking the guys there for an
evening out to an establishment with one of the up and coming chefs in
Paris. They had one of the best meals of their lives. The guys were not
allowed to see the bill.

When they were back home, the guys couldn't stop thanking the dads for the
wonderful day. It was Jeremy who looked at the guys with a smile. "Guys, we
had do do something that would outdo what you did before we arrived." He
looked at each in turn. "No, all kidding aside, we wanted you have the
total Paris experience, the Louvre and fine dining."

Lucas let Robert take over. "You certainly succeeded. We're spoiled for
life. How can we ever out do this day?"

Jeremy. "Son, this is just the start for you. Believe me, you will have
many more times like this in both your lives. We are so happy to have you
here and to do this for both of you. Now it has been a great day but I am
tired. I think time for bed. Anything that you want to do tomorrow?"

Robert and Lucas looked at each other. "We have been on the Boulevard
Haussmann and we would like to go back and do some looking and shopping for
things to take back home. Lucas and I could use some fashionable French
clothes."

Timothy looked at them. "Excellent idea. Can I make a crazy suggestion? The
Opera Garnier is close to the major department stores. The tour is really
interesting and it is one of the old historic buildings in Paris. If we
don't make it, that's OK. Just a possible suggestion."

Robert looked at his dads. "We saw the outside if the Opera but didn't have
the time to go in. Thanks for a really great day. Breakfast at our bistro
tomorrow?"

There was definite yes from everyone.

Robert and Lucas undressed each other slowly, stopping only to kiss. Hands
roamed each others bodies. It was Lucas who muttered. "How can we be so
lucky? How can I be so lucky. They treat me like a son and then I have
you."

Not a lot more was said but a lot more was done. Robert made love to his
guy again in Paris. He would remember each time that they did that.
