Chapter Six Rick had been very quiet. He turned to Jason with tears in his eyes and asked if he could stay in Penascola for the night. He wasn't ready to go back just yet. Jason reached out, put a hand on his shoulder, and told Rick he can stay as long as he wants. "I should tell you that I am staying at a friends place while I am in Pensacola". It is a nice place on the beach. He is away and we have the place to ourselves. You can stay as long as you like". They drove on I-10, to I-110 to the Bay Bridge, went through Gulf Breeze and then the final bridge out to Pensacola Beach. Coming down to the beach over the top of the bridge always made Jason smile. He loved this place. He missed it so much. They arrived at a large condominium that was out towards Ft. Pickens. It was one of those high-rise buildings that had gone up in the last 5 years. Jason parked the car in covered parking, they entered the lobby and went to the elevators. Jason push PH and up they went. When the elevator opened they entered a small foyer. Jason took out some keys and opened the next door. Rick gasped. "This is some friend you have. Look at this place!" Polished teak floors stretched to the wall of windows facing the gulf. Indirect lighting created a warm glow. The kitchen was a vision of stainless and chrome. On the walls were framed posters in the art deco mode of the great transatlantic liners. Normandie, Queen Mary, Queen Elizabeth, Rex, and others. Jason took Rick and led him though the apartment. It had 3 bedrooms each with its own bath. The master suite had a huge bathroom with a shower that was almost as big as Rick's bedroom in Destin. A balcony was off the master bedroom. Jason opened the doors and the warm sea breeze and the sounds of the ocean filled the room. "Must be nice to have rich friend" Rick commented. "Yeah, it is. Shame though, he doesn't get to enjoy this beautiful place as much as he would like. He is always on the go. I think his life is screwed up and out of balance but he keeps going". Rick laughed, "well if this is what you get when you are screwed up than hooray!" "Want some dinner and a movie?" Jason asked Rick who was still standing with his mouth open. "Sure, give me a few minutes to get ready. Where are we going?" "Tonight you will be wined and dined with the culinary delights of Chef Jason." "But don't we need to go the grocery store?" "No, my friend knew we were coming and he had some food sent in. He also has a cool DVD selection so we should be all set. Is that OK with you?" Rick stopped, scratched his chin, put his hand on his hip, "Well, I guess so". He then went up and hugged Jason and thanked him for taking good care of him. And thanks for the watch you sneaky old man". The two held the hug, neither wanting to let go. But they broke apart without any further words being said. Jason went to the kitchen and yelled out to Rick, "Go take a shower, you stink. Dinner will be ready in an hour. Take a shower in the master bath, you will love it." Rick stepped into the shower. It had a bench to sit on, was big enough for 4 people, and had 5 shower nozzles at different angles. With some struggling he figured it out and was soon bathed in warm water. But something else was happening. He was thinking about how nice Jason had been to him and how much he enjoyed being with him. His dick was getting hard. He started to rub himself and his dick grew to its full 8 inches. He continued to rub as the warm water showered down on him. His breathing became heavy and his knees were growing weak. He felt his nuts draw up and soon he was shooting 6 thick ropes of cum on the shower walls. He almost collapsed from the relief. He finished his shower, towelled off with one of the thickest towels he had ever seen, and slipped on some shorts and a t-shirt. He could smell something good coming from the kitchen and went to join Jason. Grilled chicken, roasted potatoes, fresh corn on the cob, and hot French bread was on the menu. Rick was impressed. Jason told him to grab some wine out of the fridge. Jason saw a separate fridge just for the wine. He selected a bottle of white wine from the fully stocked fridge, uncorked it and poured two glasses. Rick and Jason sat down for dinner. It was fantastic. They laughed and talked about so many things. They were both getting a slight buzz from the wine when they decided to go to the living room to watch a movie. Jason selected a DVD and the movie started. Jason and Rick were side by side on the sofa, feet on the coffee table, feeling very relaxed. In the film there was a car crash which killed the family in the car. Jason couldn't believe he had forgotten that was part of the movie. He hated himself at that moment. When he looked over and saw Rick was crying he wanted to die himself. "I am so sorry. I didn't remember that being in the movie. I wish I hadn't picked that movie", he managed to get out before he choked up. Rick looked into Jason's eyes and began to sob. He put his head on Jason's shoulder and Jason pulled him close and held him. Rick cried but didn't say anything. They stayed like that for 20 minutes. Finally Rick leaned back and said that he needed to talk. Chapter Seven "Jason, I have been dealing with what happened to my parents and I have worked through a lot of the pain I was feeling. My crying just now wasn't about the loss of my parents. It was more than that. After the loss of my parents, I felt lost. I am usually a loner. I don't have many friends. I am an only child so it was just me. After my parents died, I decided to go away. To run away. So I went and I joined the crew on Sojourn. I never expected anything fantastic to happen. But it has. I met you. You have been kind and generous to me. You have been an incredible friend to me. I have never had a friend like you before. I was crying because I am afraid I am going to lose you." Jason spoke up, "Rick, you aren't going to lose me and you don't..." "No, let me finish," Rick whispered. "I may lose you when I tell you the rest. Jason, I love you. I love you with all my being. I think about you day and night. I want to spend every moment of every day with you. I want to share my love with you in every way possible. My heart is so full of love and my body is so full of passion and my mind is telling me I shouldn't feel this way. But I do. I love you. I want you. I need you". Rick paused and silence filled the room. Jason got up and walked to the windows and looked out at the ocean. Jason's back looked like a wall to Rick. He started to cry. He stood up. "Jason, I am sorry. I knew this was a risk. I wasn't sure you felt anything towards me other than friendship. I have crossed a line. I will leave. I will resign from Sojourn so I will not make you uncomfortable. I am sorry" he managed to say before his voice gave away. He went to get his things when he heard a muffled something from Jason. He couldn't make it out, he waited a few seconds, then turned and continued walking. "WAIT" Jason yelled. "Stop right there. I have a few things to say. You aren't going anywhere until I have said what I have to say." Jason turned and faced Rick. Jason's eyes were red and his face had streaks of tears. He motioned for Rick to meet him on the couch. Both seated, Jason began to speak. "Rick, I was very moved by what you said and I know it was very hard for you. I could go on and on with a long speech, but I don't think this is the time". Rick felt the air leave his lungs and a pain went through his heart when he realised he had ruined this friendship. He began to sob. Jason reached out his hand and touched Rick's face. He rubbed his cheek. He lifted up Rick's chin and looked him in the eyes. "I am going to skip the speech because what I have to say is something I thought I would never say again in my life. Such simple words that are so hard to say. Rick, I love you. In every way. I want you to be a part of my life. Every day. Every night. In every way." Rick gasped. He felt like he couldn't breathe. Did he hear correctly? "Hey kiddo, you need to take a deep breath. I don't want to have you pass out on me now. Well, maybe that would be OK. A little mouth to mouth may be just what you need". With that Rick smiled and leaned forward and kissed Jason. When their lips met they both jumped. It was like a shock passed between them. The first shock wave and tentative kiss gave way to passion. Tongues mingled. They were hungry to explore each other. While they had both seen each other on the beach many times, it was like they were seeing each other for the first time. Jason reached out and lifted Rick's tee over his head. He let his fingers fall down onto Rick's shoulders. Rick jumped. Jason's hands moved down Rick's arms feeling his muscles. He then explored Rick's chest. He had been dreaming of this for weeks. He ran his fingers over the hard muscles of Rick's abs. He finally ran his fingers through the treasure trail just above Rick's navel. The sexy treasure trail that he had dreamed about. With that Jason sighed and closed his eyes. He was in heaven. This beautiful man that he loved so much was there. And he was touching him. And Rick loved him back. Jason then kissed Rick with a passion and intensity that neither of them had experienced before. Jason took Rick's hand and pulled him off the couch and they went to the bedroom. They made love with the sounds of the waves crashing. They explored their bodies. Jason and Rick couldn't leave each other's cocks alone. They were almost identical. Jason's was a little smaller but not enough for any shyness. Rick seemed to like it just fine. He said it fit in his mouth perfectly. He had licked and sucked and taken Jason's nectar from the gorgeous cock many times during the night. Jason had done the same with Rick. They didn't fuck that night but didn't need to. They were both exhausted and fell asleep spooning. Jason on the outside and Rick on the inside. They slept a hard sleep. Soundly. The gulf breeze blowing in the room. Jason woke up about 9am when the sound of the seagulls became too much. They were on a feeding frenzy as a school of fish swam close to shore. Jason got up, closed the sliding door, and looked at Rick sleeping in the bed. Jason was so filled with love and awe. Rick was so beautiful. And he was such a beautiful person. He hoped he could be all that Rick wanted. And hoped that Rick would accept him for who he is and love him, no matter what. Jason wasn't sure he could expect that of anyone. But he was willing to give it a try. Jason got back in the bed, took Rick in his arms and went back to sleep. A new day and a new life dawning for both of them. When Rick woke, Jason wasn't there. Was last night a dream? Just then he could here some singing coming from the shower. Rick really had to pee, his cock was standing proud at 8 inches aching for relief. Rick went into the bathroom to see Jason in the shower. It took his breath away. This man was stunning. He claims to be 37, but Rick didn't believe it. It would have to sneak a peak at his driver's license later to be sure. Jason kept singing as Rick got the relief he so desperately needed. He was turning to leave when Jason said "good morning honey, care to join me?" Rick started to cry when he stepped into the shower with his gorgeous and wonderful lover. Jason saw the tears and got concerned? "What's wrong honey" "Nothing. Nothing is wrong. I love you calling me that. I also love you. With all my heart". That led to an intense session in the shower. They both came with such intensity they surprised themselves. Stepping out of the shower, Jason went to make breakfast. The new lovers ate on the balcony and didn't speak too much. But it was OK. They didn't need to speak. They both knew. They were in love. Rick decided to stay in Pensacola for a few days before going to Destin. They filled their days with jogs on the beach, swimming, shopping at the mall, going to movies and holding hands in the dark. And they made love. A lot. Chapter Eight "Hey Jason. This friend of your is going to freak out knowing that two guys did the wild thing in his bed. Will he be upset or grossed out?" "Naw, he is cool. He won't be upset at all. He will be happy that I found my soulmate". With that Rick blushed and hugged Jason so hard he almost suffocated him. The guys went out to dinner that night. Jason knew a small restaurant that had great seafood. He warned Rick that it wasn't fancy, it had big haired waitresses that like to call you sweetie, honey, and darling. They serve great food and seem to only have sweet tea to drink. Rick laughed and said that sounded great. Except for one thing. "Only you can call me honey". More sex followed. They drove up Scenic Highway and then down Creighton Road to a place called the Spanish Trail Inn. It really did look rough. And it was. Jason was right. The food was good and the waitresses did have big hair. The décor and general atmosphere was 20 year old trailer park. They giggled and smirked at one another through-out the meal. A guy about two tables over was looking at them. Rick noticed it but didn't mention it. Suddenly the guy waved and said, "Ethan, is that you?" Jason got up and went over and greeted the guy with a big hug. He brought him over and introduced Rick to him. The guys name was Mitch an old high school buddy. Mitch seemed like a nice guy but he had to run so soon he was on his way. "Why did he call you Ethan", Rick asked. "Well, Jason is actually my middle name. I thought Ethan sounded dorky so after high school I started using Jason." OK, Mr. Ethan Jason North, lets go. I want to show you my thanks for this dinner". The guys drove out to the beach holding hands. They approached the Condo when Rick commented about the name of the building. "Tranquility. I will always remember this place as the place where I found true love. Both Jason and Rick were misty eyed. Tranquility existed between them. They barely made it into the condo and the bedroom before another passionate round of sex. After a couple of hours of kissing, groping, and two orgasms, Jason and Rick collapsed in the bed. Jason could feel Rick's cock starting to get hard. "Get that thing away from me, it is going to kill me. I am not a quarter of a century old you know". Rick smiled, and got out of bed. Jason asked, "Where do you think you are you going" "I am going to see if this friend of yours has any Geritol in the medicine cabinet. The old man in the bed needs some," Rick said in a sarcastic tone. Jason jumped out of the bed, grabbed Rick, threw him on the bed and brought him to another climax. Now Rick was exhausted and Jason just laughed. They slept spooned together the whole night. They both felt safe and secure and happy. The next morning the phone woke them at 10am. Jason went into the living room and answered the phone. Rick thought it was odd he didn't answer the phone by the bed but shrugged it off. Rick got up and went into the shower. Jason came in looking frustrated. "Hi Babe. Was that your wife or your other man? Is that why you went in the other room? Well let me tell you, ain't no bitch gonna take away my man," Rick said in a camp tone doing his best chicken necking and heavy southern accent. "Well, no Miss Trailer Park it wasn't." Jason laughed. It was Compass. They are going to have a board meeting onboard Sojourn in Mobile. Apparently repairs have run into problems and they want to talk about options. Also, something about the new ship being built in Germany. They need to have everything set up for the board meeting tomorrow afternoon so I need to head over to Mobile and get things prepared. I can come back after the board meeting is over and all the big shots are gone". Rick thought for a moment. "I think it is time for me to go over to Destin and take care of a few things. I will head over there and I can come back here tomorrow night" "Cool. Take the rental car and I will use my friend's extra car downstairs. I need to leave soon and I should be back by 9pm tomorrow. Lets have a quick breakfast before I go. Oh, and about calling me Babe. Keep it up, I like it!" Breakfast was nice and an hour later Jason was heading out. Rick said he would hang around and have another shower and then head out. Plans were made for a hot reunion the following night.
