Mariner23502@hotmail.com * * * * * * Chapter #12 Cody and Adam checked around to be sure everything was locked up while Clyde and Stewart walked to the Explorer. The weather was beautiful so the drive should be comfortable without the need for the a/c. They both were feeling good about meeting up with Cody and now Adam. At first they had thought that maybe Cody was a hustler but it seemed they had the wrong impression and he was a young student entrepreneur trying to make his way through college. He and Adam being gay was a plus and made things a lot easier for Adam and Stewart. "Clyde, did you notice where your uncle's ranch was located when you were going through the papers that Robert and Dad gave you? All I know is that it's in Nebraska." "Yeah Stu. It's around some town called West Point but I have no idea where that is. We should have gotten some maps so we would know more about this state. I guess Cody knows, sure hope so. Did you happen to notice how much Cody and Adam look alike? They could almost be brothers but Adam looks a little bigger. We both thought Cody was something but Adam is a knockout." "Yeah, nothing like them back in Baltimore. Maybe it is he way they feed them out here?" "Oh lord Stu. What do you think they eat here or do I need to ask that question?" Adam and Cody noticed Clyde and Stewart talking as they walked towards them. "That Clyde is a real hunk Cody, think they will go out with us later?" "I don't see why not. We mentioned it so maybe they will. I hope they do, we don't have any friends outside of school to speak of and it gets to be a drag hanging out at the Panic just so we can relax once in awhile without worrying about some queen blabbing it around the campus that we are queer. You can see Clyde is a real hunk but Stewart is no slouch. I bet they both work out?" "What kind of workout you got in mind Cody, weights?" "Hey, lets see where things go okay?" They jumped in the Explorer, Cody driving with Stewart up front, Clyde and Adam in the back. "Man, this beats that flivver we drive. What's the rental on this Stu?" "I don't know. What is it Clyde?" "Check the agreement in the glove box Stu, I don't know, it's not that important." "Ahhhhhhhh the power of having money Clyde. Cody and I watch the pennies. Struggling students can't be that frivolous." "I didn't mean it that way Adam. The travel agency set it up and I didn't think to ask. Guess I should have though. Ever since Stu and I met it's almost like we have been on a merry-go=round and money has been the centerpiece of everything. It probably will be until all this is settled. What Cody told us this morning doesn't help but I appreciate him telling us about it." "Hey Cody." Adam says. "You gonna use the interstate or stick to the state highways? Remember there aren't any restaurants on them if you are and I'm starved." "I thought I'd run out 10th St. and catch I-80. There is a nice restaurant on US-77 we can stop at. We ate there when we drove to West Point the last time, remember?" "Oh yeah, its got a real fancy name - - US77 Diner. You guys will like it Clyde, good food and there was a hunky waiter name of... " "Gerry." "Trust Cody to remember. Yeah Gerry, he was good and very friendly." "Lots of waiters are Adam. I seem to remember one we met earlier. Devon wasn't it Cody?" "I guess I should have told you and Stu Clyde. No real need for the cloak and dagger stuff but I didn't want Enrique walking in on us. He can be pretty evil from what I've heard. Devon is in school, freshman year. He is a nice guy but has a hard time with Enrique always pushing him for sex. Devon gave in once out of fear for his job and now Enrique keeps after him." "That's a hell of a way to keep your job." Stu says. "A working student gay or straight have to do some pretty rough things when they need the money. Scholarships don't pay for everything. Adam and I both work but not that way." Clyde looked at Adam their eyes locking. "What kind of work do you do Adam?" "Physical Fitness trainer in a local health club. Cody is the real hustler in the family. Ooops that didn't come out right did it?" "Your damn right it didn't. I may hustle a few bucks Adam but I don't sell this body for anything, money that is." "Sorry lover, I didn't mean it that way. Let's not argue now, we just met Clyde and Stu give them time to know us first." Clyde looked at Stu and then Cody. You could see Cody was a little miffed but a faint smile was on his face. Clyde changed the subject asking Cody, "how far is this West Point?" "What do you think Adam? I guess it's about 60 or 70 miles. It didn't seem to take very long when we were here before." "That's about right Clyde. You and Stu will be surprised when you see it, almost like a Playboy spread. I can't remember the guy that is running it." "Me neither but I remember he looked like that guy Frank Sepe, the one that does porn. I think he lives back your way in New Jersey." "That Cody is more then they want to know don't you think? Cody has a photographic memory when it comes to some types of men. We all like looking and wishing but he details everyone." Adam says with a grin. "You don't do bad yourself but I need to get something off my chest. I wasn't very honest with you and Stu this morning Clyde. All that stuff about an apartment and Bowflex machines and trying too act like a dime store detective. Adam knew I was going to meet you guys but we both thought it a little better if I didn't lay all of the cards on the table until we knew you a little better. I think Stu saw right through me though didn't you?" "All of the investigation work I did for my dad's law firm helped there Cody. I was enjoying it myself. I was pretty sure you were fishing from the things you were saying. That friendship ring your wearing on your left hand told a lot about you being gay." "Damn Stu, I didn't even think about that. You are good." "Yeah, he is pretty good." Clyde injects grinning. The turn off onto 77 slipped up on them during all of the conversation and they almost missed it except Stu brought it to Cody's attention. The US77 Diner was one of the new styles that were becoming popular again. Mirrored stainless steel with large windows sitting on landscaped piece of property like the ones back in the 40's and 50's. The parking lot was not that full when they parked. The took a booth that 6 people could have sat in with room left over and a young nice looking waiter walked up as they were sitting down. "Well, well, the Golden Boys again. How have you guys been doing? You haven't been here in over a couple of months." "We don't get up this way very often Gerry, how you been? Meet two friends of ours, Clyde and Stewart. They are in town from Baltimore for a few days." "Hi, nice meeting you. In from Baltimore, is the Station still in business? Haven't been there since I was in the Navy." "Still in business Gerry, Clyde and I were they just a few days ago. Hasn't changed all that much." "Had a lot of fun there. What can I get you guys? The special is meatloaf, mashed potato's and green beans." Clyde and Stewart opted for chicken salad sandwich's and iced tea. Cody ordered a tuna fish sandwich with iced tea but Adam ordered the special. "Damn Adam, it'll take you a month to work that off. You know what mashed potato's do to you." "Yeah, yeah but I told you I was starved. That toast stuff you fixed this morning wouldn't feed a bird." "I thought you had eaten before you met with us Cody? You could have had breakfast." Stu said looking at Clyde. "Part of the act Stu, I'm sorry and my gut was grumbling while you and Clyde ate. I love the Rustler's breakfast." "And you talk about me working something off. I'm surprised you passed up the sausage, not like you at all." Clyde and Stewart couldn't help but notice the little innuendos that spiced Adam and Cody's comments between them. "Tell me something." Clyde says. "Have you noticed the terrain as we have been driving? I don't really know what a ranch is supposed to look like but we seem to be driving through farmland. I've seen lots of houses and fields of corn and soybeans. No cattle except for a cow or two with some horses." "I've heard you say ranch before Clyde." Cody says. "There are only farms in the eastern part of the state. If you're looking for a ranch it is out in the northwestern central part of the state. That's where Adam and I come from, our home is Alliance and out there you can go for miles before you see anyone." Gerry and another waiter brought their food as they were talking. Gerry refilled their iced tea for them and laid the check on the table, Clyde picked it up but Adam protested. "Let us get that Adam, you fed Cody this morning." "You call some fruit with a bagel being fed? We'll get this, you can get it some other time." "Who eats fruit and bagels? That's for bodybuilders." Gerry said overhearing Clyde as he returned for dirty dishes. "Well Gerry." Stu says observing his build. "Looks to me like you eat lots of fruit and bagels then." "Fruits I eat Stu but bagels are used by some people for other things." "That leaves bagels out of your diet Clyde unless they bake king sized ones." Stu says grinning. The banter is congenial but no one misses the reference to bagels as it applied to Clyde. Cody and Adam look at each other with raised eyebrows. "Gerry, how much further is West Point from here?" "Oh let's see Cody. Maybe it's another 35 miles or so, less then an hour away. Wait a minute, I'll be right back, gotta check out my shift is ending." While Gerry was gone, they finished up their meals. Clyde lifted his hand and a dreary tired looking girl cleared the table leaving their drinks. "Could you bring me a glass of water miss?" Stu asks. Getting no answer as she walks away. Gerry returned with a glass of water, "Elaine said someone wanted water." "I did. She isn't very friendly is she?" "The way they work her ass Stu, I'm surprised she stays here. She has a bastard daughter and I don't think she has much choice. Elaine lives in a small town called Octavia and drives over here for work. Bunch of Presbyterians live there and they don't like girls who get pregnant without husbands." "That's pretty tough on her isn't it?" "Yeah, it sure is. You asked about West Point. Are you heading for the place off of 32?" "What place would that be Gerry?" Stu asks as the others listen waiting for Gerry's answer. "The curse of making an assumption. Kick my ass if I'm wrong but I get the feeling you are all family, right?" Cody, Clyde and Adam lean back letting Stu do the talking. It was obvious that Gerry was just a little uncomfortable as he looked at them. Adam leans over and whispers in Clyde's ear, "he is pretty good at pinning someone down isn't he?" Clyde just smiles at Adam. He can see Stewart thinking like he does before answering. "We aren't related if that's what you mean. Why don't you sit down if you're off duty Gerry? Slide over a little Cody." Cody slid closer to Stewart and he couldn't help but feel the muscles in his thigh and calves as they touched and he glanced at him when he didn't move his leg. Gerry sat next to him one cheek on and one cheek off even though he could have set closer. "Let me see if I can get my ass off the hook fellas. I waited on Cody and Adam a couple of months back and heard them talking about "the farm" and up that way there is only one place called "the farm". It looks like the Tara plantation from Gone With the Wind and has some of the best looking hunks living there and they aren't hired hands in the general sense of the word. I heard you mention something about a ranch and then something about farms in this part of the state. When you asked how far it was to West Point, I sort of put two and two together and looking at you guys, you would fit right in on "the farm". All gay guys live there. The old man that owned it died about 6 months or so ago and the last I heard they are all wondering who is going to take it over." "You're off the hook Gerry, we are family as you say. Clyde and I are together and so are Adam and Cody." "I kinda had them figured to be a couple but I wasn't sure about you and Clyde. Whew, you had me worried there. I thought I had put my foot in it big time." Adam leaned over and quietly said, "the definition of assume is ass you not me Gerry when you make an assumption with no evidence. I learned that early." "I should have remembered it Adam from being in the Navy. I just got out 7 months ago and heard it often enough. An old Navy Chief threw an eraser at me when I used the word answering a question he asked me." "You're right Gerry, we are going up and check the place out." Clyde says. "Stu shouldn't have kept you hanging like he did. That's the lawyer in him coming out. What can you tell us about it?" "Yeah Gerry, Clyde is the ..." Adam kicked him under the table before he said "new owner but Gerry ignored it at first. "Clyde is the what Cody?" "I was going to say he is the one that wanted to check it out, that's why we are going there." "Yeah Gerry. I heard about it once when I lived here before I left." "You lived here in Nebraska Clyde? Where?" "In a little town called Ceresco. My dad was a dirt farmer but that was not for me so I went east." "Lots of us did and some of us are back. I've been at the farm a couple of times. It is a beautiful place and run by some guy name of Kyle Marx. What I said about young studs is true and they don't work on the place. The only name it has around these parts is either "the farm or the place." I always heard that the old guy that owned it was gay but he didn't do anything with the guys. He was supposed to have one bedroom that was all set up so he could watch from behind a one-way mirror. No one ever saw him but I was told that the guys he selected were paid $500 each and supposedly did not get involved with anyone else. This Kyle fellow would take pictures of anyone that was chosen too be there so he could pick the ones he wanted to watch. Kind of kinky if you ask me." "Did you ever see that special bedroom Gerry?" Clyde asked. Blushing a little and looking at them, Gerry answers softly "twice. Not my thing but what the hell the money was good and it's not like I was selling it. It was a bit uncomfortable thinking someone was watching you but then it got kind of exciting and you forgot abut it. When I learned that videos were made, that ended it for me. Who knows where those pictures are sent." "Damn fellas, that would kill it for me too. I'm damn glad Adam and I didn't accept the offer. We met some guy at the Panic in Lincoln and he invited us there. Were you invited Gerry?" "That's the only way you get in there and then only after they check you out. Marx was in here once and asked me if I'd like to make some easy money. I always wondered how he knew I was gay and found out he had asked questions about me and got my name from a guy I had been in bed with once. Marx and some guy in Lincoln name of Dickson are supposed to be partners from what I've heard. No one sees him or the old man except Kyle." At the mention of the name Dickson, Clyde and Stewart look at each other as Stewart asked Gerry, "What does Kyle look like?" All four men leaned forward as Gerry continued and answered Stewart thankful that their booth was in the back of the diner. "Kyle is one of the best looking men I have ever seen. He is about 6'6" and built like a football fullback. His hair is more platinum then blond like Adam and Cody. He looks like one of those Viking's you see in some of the movies with eyes that cut right through you almost like he is reading your mind. I've never seen such cold blue eyes in anyone. It's said he has something going on with a Mexican down outside of Lincoln but no one knows that for sure." "If I am not wrong Gerry, what you are saying is this place is a high priced male whorehouse." Stewart asks. "Guess you could say that. When I was there you could see that not all of the guys were from around here and if the old man is as old as he was said to be it was for sure he couldn't watch all of them. There used to be small planes flying in and out of the place." "Small airplanes?" "Yeah, the place has its own airstrip and hanger. You can see it off in the distance during the day if you're outside. It's supposed to be for crop dusting but who ever heard of a Learjet dusting crops?" "Hey, look at the time." Stewart says looking at his watch. "If we are going to get back to Lincoln before dark and see this place, we better get going." "You can't miss it Stu. Just follow 275 after you get on it and when you get in West Point turn left on Grove St. It changes into 32 and then its about 6 miles on your left. The first white fence you see will have a sign saying "SH Properties -- Private" follow the fence for about half a mile and you will see the gates and the drive. The house sits back maybe another quarter mile or so. Nothing out that way looks like it. I would like to go with you but I need to get on home. Are you going to be up this way again anytime soon?" "Probably sooner then you think Gerry. How can we get in touch with you?" Clyde asks. As they are sliding out of the booth Gerry writes down his name and number, Gerry Manning, 555-2232. Wahoo. Back in the Explorer Cody tools the vehicle around the interchange that leads them up on 275 but no one is saying anything. After about a mile there is a sign that indicates that West Point is only 32 miles away. Clyde and Stewart were looking at each other when Adam said "Clyde, didn't your uncle leave you his estate? That would mean you own this place or whatever it's called." As Clyde started to speak he feels Stewarts hand on his knee and looked at him. "Go ahead Stu, you tell him." "Adam, you and Cody have to promise us that what I am going to tell you goes no further. Cody knows only a little but not everything. Can you make that promise?" For a moment, Adam looks in the rearview mirror into Cody's eyes before saying, "You and Clyde can count on us Stewart. Nothing you say will be repeated unless required by law. We won't tell anybody anything but we won't lie. We both know who Dickson is and I'm pretty sure we know who the Mexican fellow is but we will leave it at that. I've been listening while you asked questions of Gerry and I saw how the both of you stiffened when Dickson's name was mentioned. I don't know where he fits but he is a lawyer in Lincoln and pretty thick with someone we know. If you want to tell us great but only if you want to. I'm not a lawyer but I have a hunch you and Clyde aren't out here on a joy trip." "You may not be a lawyer Adam but you made that response in the most generic legal terms I have heard outside of Dad and Robert's office. Okay then, that said here is how it is. You are right; Clyde will be the owner of this place we are heading for and at the same time a hell of a lot more. My dad's firm was retained by Dickson to do a background investigation of Clyde. We, me mainly, checked him from the day he was born back to his ancestors in the British Isles. Under the terms of his uncles will, his estate has been left to his last direct male descendent and Clyde is that descendent. Clyde's father was the brother of Sam Hampton and Mr. Hampton had no children. I guess we know why now but our investigation did not show that he might be gay. We weren't investigating him but Clyde. Do you have any idea how big this farm or place is?" "I'm not sure but its probably somewhere in the 500 or 600 acre range. Most of the farms here are that size, only a couple or so are larger but they don't call them ranches." Cody offered glancing at Adam and Clyde. "Mr. Hampton is supposed to own a ranch of 15,000 acres according to what we were told by Dickson and listed in the audit of Mr. Hamptons assets. I didn't go over all of the papers in the portfolio that dad gave Clyde but you can bet Robert will after we talk with him tomorrow." Adam lets out a low long whistle, "15,000 acres, you got to be shitting us. Even around Alliance there aren't that many of that size. It's all sandy with scrub mostly. That's why they talk about the sand hills of Nebraska. The soil won't support farming but it does have lots of grass for cattle. They are moved around a lot so the grass can recover after they have grazed on it some. I guess that could be the reason for it being so sandy, the old timers just let their stock graze and there was nothing left." "It looks like we need to do a more thorough investigation at this end Clyde, what do you think? You're the one that stands to lose a hell of a lot maybe. We won't know until we do check out what is being said. If Dickson is embezzling from the estate and I'm not saying he is, we need a more in depth confidential check outside of Dickson's office." "Let's talk with Robert tomorrow Stu and see what he say's about it. Speaking about Robert, we need to get him a room at the Branston. I don't want him staying somewhere else but do you think we can get a room without this Enrique fellow finding out about it and maybe telling Dickson he is here?" "Excuse me guys, what about our place?" Adam says. "Jeez Adam, sorry. We didn't mean to ignore you and Cody but so much has happened in such a short time. Do you think my brother could stay with you guys? Sometimes he can be a bit of a stuffed shirt but he is a pretty good guy." "No reason why he can't stay with us is there Cody? Then you can talk without worrying about anyone knowing he is here until you want them too." "Okay with me Adam, we only need one bedroom." "Oh trust you to talk about bedrooms. He's like that, you just have to get used to him. I'm still not after three years with him." "You know, this is really pretty country. Uncle Sam knew what he was doing when he bought around here lots of cottonwood trees. You like it Stu, I do?" While the others had been talking, Cody had turned left on Grove St. like Gerry had said and saw the signs for Rt. 32 and in the distance the white fence on the left. "Hey men, we are getting pretty close to the farm, there's the fence. Do you want to stop Clyde?" "I don't think we should Clyde." Stewart cautions. "If this Marx guy is in with Dickson it may not be a good idea to let him know you are here." "Just drive by slow Cody and then we can turn around up the road a way and come back." "Check Stu. Looks like we are still playing Cloak and Daggers like I was trying to do." >From what they could see the farm was everything Gerry had said. The lawns were emerald green and you could see the in-ground sprinklers watering in symmetric patterns. Large cottonwood trees surrounded the large central building, Tara duplicated and Scarlet would have been envious. Tall columns supported the overhang and a huge outdoor chandelier hung down from the portico. Huge wooden double doors flanked by glass windows were in the center and another full width transom was over the doors. There were two identical wings on either side with full floor to ceiling windows. The home was painted a light cream color with Williamsburg blue shutters. What looked like a barn sat maybe a 100' from the main house? It was identical in architecture to the house. They counted 6 small cottages behind the house and they were almost duplicates except they lacked the tall columns. The drive circled behind the house and the grounds were immaculate. Off in the distance down below a rise in the terrain you could see the roof of another building but that was all. There were some people mingling in front of what was the barn but at the distance they were not distinguishable except other then they were men but they weren't looking their way as they passed. "Damn Clyde, we should have brought a pair of binoculars with us. Have you ever seen such a place?" "A camera wouldn't have hurt especially one with a telephoto lens." Adam said. Clyde said just a little sternly, "Turn around Cody, let's get back to Lincoln." Stewart heard the tone in Clyde's voice and turned looking at him, "Something wrong?" "I just remembered when I had seen that place before. I was a little boy and came up here with my dad. I'm not sure but I think it was about money. Dad didn't have any to speak of, never did. When I was there it didn't look like it does now. Uncle Sam didn't keep it like that. It must cost a fortune keeping it looking like that. I remember some man patting me on the cheeks and I didn't like him. Boy has that been a long time ago, I was probably 8 or 9 then." "Just think Clyde, you probably own it now. That would be great." "There will be some changes if I do Adam." You could see the set of Clyde's jaw. Stewart had seen that look before and he knew he had set his mind to something but he would tell him when he wanted to. There was no need asking right then. Stewart reached back and squeezed Clyde's arm, "You do own it hon." He said softly looking into his eyes seeing the depths of his emotions. Adam sat beside Clyde watching them thinking "wow, you can feel whatever there is between them" and he glanced at Cody seeing him watching in the mirror. The trip back to Lincoln did not seem to take as long as the drive up and before long they were pulling up behind Cody's car. They hadn't talked about much other then Cody and Adam going to college and how they had met in Alliance when Adam transferred into Alliance High School. Cody told about how the first time he saw Adam he got a hard-on and knew he wanted him. Adam said the same thing except he was wearing a jock strap and it hurt like hell when he was thinking what he wanted to do with Cody. They both laughed admitting they had been doing it ever since. Clyde and Stewart liked both of them right off. Getting out of the Explorer Adam looked at his watch saying, "its only 4o'clock. If you want to go with us to the Panic tonight we can pick you up about 10 if that's okay." "Fine Adam, I think we both need a little relaxation. See you then and we can use the Explorer. Might be a little tight with the four of us in your Honda." Stewart says. Stewart pulls away from the curb seeing Adam and Cody standing watching them leave. Clyde waves out of his window and they both wave back. * * * * * * Watching them leave Adam puts his arm around Cody's broad shoulders. "You like them Cody." He says as they wave. "They seem like a couple of really nice guys and I saw you checking Clyde out and that bulge in his crotch, he must be really hung. Are you thinking what I know you are?" "Probably not much more then you sugar and don't talk too me about Clyde. You were doing a pretty good job of checking Stewart out and you probably know what I'm thinking, the same thing you are." "I told you about him yesterday. I clicked with him at the airport parking lot. They both have great bodies, you can see that. Stewart has a pretty nice bulge himself and they both are damned good looking." Adam unlocked the door and when he closed it he turned and Cody melted into his arms his lips pressing on his. The passion electrified both of them as they pressed hard cocks against each other. Breaking the kiss, Cody leaned back in Adam's arms seeing the passion and lust in his eyes. "Is that for me or Clyde? Do you want to give me some now and safe some for him later if he agrees?" "It's always for you and you know it. As far as Clyde goes that is only if we agree, remember our agreement. We both agree on anything outside and then only if we both are involved. No sneaking or going off alone with someone. What about you and Stewart?" "Right now, all I want is you. Clyde and Stewart later if they agree. Take me too the bedroom lover, I need you now after watching them all afternoon. I want that hard cock of yours in my ass Adam. Deep and filling like no one else does it." * * * * * * "I'm glad you remember where you're going Stu, I'm lost. Well what did you think of Adam and Cody?" "Getting around Clyde is easy once you see that most of the main streets run North/South and East/West and you watch out for landmarks like this Burger King where we turn right and that takes us almost in the parking log of the hotel. I like Cody and Adam, they seem like pretty cool guys. Adam seems to be the one that is steady and observant while Cody is the spark plug. He would make a good attorney with all of his energy." "I got the same impression as you. It's amazing how much they look alike though. Adam is just a little larger then Cody but you can see they really work out to keep their bodies in shape. I like men that take care of themselves and we need to get into a gym pretty soon. How about we use the gym at the hotel or maybe we could get Adam to set us up a session where he works. He said he was a Physical Fitness Instructor didn't he?" "I guess we could Clyde, whatever you want." Stewart said as he pulled under the hotel portico. The hotel-parking valet saw the Explorer coming up the drive and ran to the side where the driver would exit and he could see it was the younger guy driving. When the vehicle came to a stop he opened the door. "Good evening Mr. Ricksford. Mr. Martineze told me to keep an eye out for you and asks that you see him before you go up to your suite." "How long ago what that Nicky?" "He came out about 2 hrs ago. I was afraid my shift would end before you came back and I'd miss you. I think he is still inside but he usually leaves about 4:30 and it's almost 5 now." "Thanks Nicky." Stewart says handing him $5. "Park it so it isn't blocked in will you, we may go out later. Wait a minute Nicky, don't you get off at 5?" "Yes sir but I'll see that it is parked okay." "Do me a favor if you will. When you get off could you take it down to the Sunoco station at the end of the block and fill it up? Take this and keep the change. I sure appreciate it." "Mr. Ricksford, that's $50 and it won't take all of that. I can't do that." "Take it Nicky, see you tomorrow if you're on?" Adam stood at the doorway into the hotel watching as Stewart talked with the kid. He was maybe 16 or 17, clean looking and well mannered. He sort of reminded him of when he was that age and just learning he liked men and not girls. He watched him move the Explorer over into a reserved spot on the front and trot around the building. 'What's he doing that for Stu?" "I asked him if he would take it and gas it up for us. I think he is clocking out and then he can do it. Martineze wants us to stop by before we go up." "I heard him but didn't you give that kid a $50 just now?" "I did and told him he could keep the change if it didn't take it all Clyde." "Damn that is generous just for filling a gas tank. How you going to know if he does fill it Stu?" "Clyde, think for a minute. The gauge will tell us if he cheats which I doubt he will do since he works here. The change means nothing and I can remember when I would have liked someone's help a few times when I was growing up, can't you? I bet he doesn't make that much in a week." "Don't get mad at me. I thought maybe you were doing it because he is cute." "He is cute but the only one I'm thinking about right now is cuter. Are we going up or stand down here jabbering about nothing." "Up but what about Martineze?" Just a little exasperated Stu starts walking inside, "I'm not in the least worried about him, are you?" "No not really, wait up." Both of them walk quickly to the elevator and as the doors close Clyde pulls Stewart to him. "Did I tell you today how much I love you?" "Not in so many words but I can tell." The elevator stops as they are kissing deeply passionately, the doors opening. "Whoa there, I'm sorry." Turning quickly, they stop. Devon is standing in the hallway with a serving cart grinning from ear to ear. Clyde and Stewart stand there looking at him. "Punch 5 after you get off and it will stop on the way back down if the cables don't melt. I'm glad I'll be off duty when the fire department gets here." Holding the door open button Clyde looks at Devon, Stewart still pressed against him. "Fire department? What are you talking about Devon?" "Well Mr. Hampton, from where I'm standing it looks pretty hot in there and I can only imagine what it might be later." "Try it sometime Devon." Stewart says grinning just as broadly. "It can be fun." "Oh, I know it can. How about punching the button so I can get down and out of here?" "Okay, see ya later." Getting off of the elevator and laughing together they walk down the hall with their arms around each other's waists and into their suite. As soon as the door is closed shirts and shorts are dropping as they head for the bedroom diving into the bed with arms reaching. "Thank god for king size beds Clyde." "Mmmmmmmmm you said it, come here I want some of you." "Kind of rough are we?" "Never with you lover I want to feel you against me, holding me." "And I want to feel you inside of me Clyde and no rubbers, just you." "We were going to call the clinic weren't we before we get into that." "I know we were but you said you were okay and I know I am so why not. We trust each other." "As much as I want nothing between us Stu, lets do the right thing and wait." "Okay Mr. Practical. Make love to me until Monday then." Clyde leaned over Stewart looking down into his soft blue eyes as he bent his head down and brushed his lips over his. "When's the last time I told you how much I love you?" "You do all of the time." Slowly Clyde lowers his body over Stu their lips pressed together tongues exploring already familiar places as he presses his groin tightly against him, their hard cocks throbbing and leaking pre-cum. Kissing each other on their necks, nibbling at ear lobes. Stewart feels Clyde slowly working his way down biting his nipples sending thrilling shocks through him. Lips kissing and nibbling until his lips cover his throbbing, aching cock. "Take it baby, drain me. Move around and let me suck you. Lets come together Clyde." Twisting around until his hips are facing Stu, he guides his cock to waiting lips and feels them opening, admitting him deep inside as he swallows Stu's wet throbbing meat. A slow tempo is set as they caress each other feeling their hearts beating rapidly in unison with each thrust of their hips. A sudden tightening of muscles as their backs arch driving their cocks deep they explode sending waves of rapture washing over them as their bodies send hot streams of molten cream cascading forth filling throats and mouths. Swallowing each gushing stream they devour each other with complete abandon needing only the moment and what it means. The sealing of their love for one and the other, giving of themselves with no reservation as they slowly soften and relax. Twisting around again and pulling the sheet over them, Clyde kisses Stewart softly and lays his head on his shoulder feeling his body being caressed as he drifts off whispering, "I love you." Stewart quickly follows Clyde, as his eyelids grow heavy, his arms holding him tight. A small tear trickles down from the corner of his eye as he hears Clyde whispering too him. * * * * * *
