Date: Wed, 13 Dec 2006 19:45:10 -0500 From: Angel J Subject: Justin's Angel-12 This is a sexually explicit story (at times) involving homosexuality. By continuing to read, you affirm under penalties of perjury that you are not a minor or in the company of a minor and are entitled to have access to this story. The following is a fictious story with no real basis or credibility.It is solely for the enjoyment of the reader.Its all just fun. It does not imply anything about the sexual preferences or lifestyle of Justin Timberlake or any other celebrity herein mentioned in the story. Previously Justin took Michael's hands in his own and looked him in the eyes. "Babe, I need to talk to you about where we go from here.You have taken a big step here today. We all care about you, we are all glad that you have opened yourself up to us. But we are all still worried about you." Michael sensed Justin was leading this discussion somewhere. "You need help Michael,you need professional help to deal with all this.I know someone,she is a good friend.She's a really good therapist,she can help you sort this all out,help you deal with your fears and issues." Michael pulled his hands out of Justin's.He stood up backing away from him. "You think I'm crazy!"Michael voice raised,he couldn't believe Justin was saying this. You think I need help?"He was yelling now. "I survived all my life without help,what makes you think I need yours." Vicky and Steve rushed into the kitchen,Lonnie behind them. Michael stared at them, anger evident on his face. "I thought you were my friends,but you think I'm nuts?" Justin was standing now, fear and concern showing in his features. "We are your friends,Mikey, and we don't think any such thing."He was slowly edging towards Michael. "Then why would I need a shrink, I told you what you wanted to know, what else is there to say." Michael's defenses were going back up. Justin was trying to calm him again,without much luck. "Leave me alone, Justin.I don't need your help." Michael stared at him,no emotion on his face. Michael turned and started heading towards the doorway. Justin grabbed his arm trying to stop him. Michael cringed.His face changed immediately,a look of terror on it. "Please don't hurt me,please let me go." Justin let go immediately,stunned. "I would never hurt you ,Michael,never." Michael looked at Justin, a touch of fear and hurt evident in his brown eyes. "Thats what they all told me,Justin,but it always ends the same." Michael turned, and walked out of the kitchen, then heading into the bedroom,closing the door behind him. chapter 12 Justin stared after Michael, watching him walk away from him. Justin couldn't believe that Michael had turned away from him in fear. What had happened, they had been so happy a few minutes ago. They had just been kissing. Vicky walked up beside him,wrapping her arm around him. "You tried Justin,give him time,this has been a real hard day on him.This is all still fresh in his mind." Justin couldn't believe that Michael still felt that he would hurt him.Couldn't he see that he would never do that. That he was his protector, he never could be anything else. "Your right Vic, I should of let him have some time to recover from this.I didn't think how he must be feeling." Justin felt Michael needed him more now, needed help with all this. "I just want him to believe me,that I would never hurt him.I'm going to see that he's all right." Justin headed out into the living room,wanting only to tell Michael he was sorry. He looked up as he walked across the living room.Michael was standing in the open bedroom doorway. He had his head down ,his foot was tapping a bit, as if he was hesitant about something.His arms were wrapped around his chest.Justin thought he could sense Michael's vunerabilities. Vicky,Steve and Lonnie follow into the room,stopping as soon as they saw Michael.There was only silence between everyone. Michael raised his head, his eyes looked wet.His body was visibly trembling. "I'm so scared, Justin." Justin was beside him in an instant,stopping short of touching him.Michael leaned in against him,feeling his strength against him.Feeling his stability. "Everything is tearing me apart inside.I can't keep going like this.Your right,Justin.I do need help.But I am so scared of what that help will bring out of me.What it will show me about myself.Your right,the real me is lost somewhere,I don't know who he is anymore." Justin wrapped his arms around him,steadying him.He let Michael continue. "There is so much you don't know about me,I am so different from anyone you know.I have always felt different from everyone.I don't know if you could understand all that.I don't know if you could accept certain things about me.Most people all my life have never understood me.I think its better if you just walk away now." So this is whats it had come down to,he's trying to give me an easy way out,Justin thought. Justin pulled back a little, looked Michael in the eyes. "I am not going anywhere,Mikey.First and most important right now, I am your friend." Everyone else started walking up to him. "We are all your friends,Michael." Michael looked at everyone,feeling only caring and concern from all of them. "But you don't know the real me,I have done things,I can do things, things you wouldn't understand.My grandmother always said I was gifted,I have always felt I was cursed." Justin didn't know what Michael was referring to, but his mind was made up. He hugged Michael again. "I don't care what other people think about you Michael,what I care about is you,and what you think about yourself." Michael looked up at Justin. "You can try to push away from us Mikey, but we aren't going anywhere.No matter what you think you've done, or what you think you are, we all respect you and will be here for you." Michael looked at Justin.Michael realized that Justin was being sincere and he wasn't judging him. "I want to apologize for blowing up like that,that not me.Please forgive me." Everyone pulled Michael into a group hug. They hugged him for a few moments, until he got himself together. Michael looked up at Justin,meeting his eyes. "I owe you the biggest apology,Justin.You were only trying to help me.I should of realized that.I'm sorry." Justin smiled, he knew how hard this was for Michael.He hugged him again. "I need to face my fears,Jus.If you think it would really help,you can call your friend.I will try and talk to her." Justin looked at Michael with a smile forming on his face and in his eyes. "I'll call Lance and get her number.I am positive you will feel better after you have talked to her.For now,you need to relax,Michael.Go back and relax on the couch."Justin kissed him lightly on the cheek. Vicky directed Michael back into the living room,guiding him back to the sofa. "Steve, you go and wake up Nana, she will want to be here.And he needs her.I'll go call Lance." Justin went into the bedroom,closing the door. Lance Bass was just getting out of the shower when the phone rang. "Hello, Lance here." "Lance, man.It's me,Justin." "Justy, how the hell ya doing, whats up?" Lance hadn't heard from Justin in about three weeks, their schedules had been hectic,different things going on.They had always tried to keep in touch,but it was hard sometimes. "Doing well, just doing some relaxing.Up here in Chicago visiting Stevo." "Ah, cool.Glad your getting some free time.I know its going to get pretty hectic with your new tour soon.Take it while you can man." "Yeah trying to take what I can get.Listen, do you have Anna Clark's number?I need to contact her." "Sure do, anything wrong?"Lance was concerned for his friend. "No, I have a friend who needs her help, he's going through a bad time right now." Lance walked out of the bathroom,pulling his robe on and headed over to the night stand. Lance flipped through the address book on the night stand, found her number and gave it to Justin. "So who's the friend.Anyone I know?" Lance knew most of Justin's friends. "No he's a friend of Vicky's, a writer, a real nice guy.You'd like him.I hope you can meet him soon." "Ah,cool.Any friend of yours should be cool." Lance heard Riechen calling him. "I have to go Justin, Riechen just got home.Talk to you soon." "Ok,Scoop and thanks.Talk to you soon." Riechen walked into the bedroom followed by a young hispanic man. Lance hung up the phone, nervously looking at Riechen and the other man. "This is Lance Bass, Edouardo.He's a big fan of yours,Lance." Riechen stood back against the wall smiling. Lance felt he knew what this was about. "You know how to please you greatest fans, don't you Lance?" Oh god, not again, please no more. Lance looked at Riechen, then at the young man. "So what do you think of your idol,Edouardo.Pretty hot stuff, huh." Edouardo was blushing and looking at Lance with lust. "Go ahead,Lance.You know what you have to do to make your fans happy."Riechen said with a grin on his face. Lance hesitantly opened his robe and dropped it to the floor,standing nude in front of them. Edouardo looked at Lance,ogling his smooth body, his large cock and his muscular frame. "Man your one hot beautiful man,Lance.I want to see all of you,turn around." Lance turned around,trying to prepare himself for what was to come. In moments he felt the man's breath on his shoulder, his hands were feeling his chest and his cock,Lance could feel the other mans cock hard against his ass. Lance turned slightly looking at Riechen.He had stripped all his clothes off, his hard cock jutting out from his muscular frame. "Turn around and make your fan happy,Lancy." Lance reluctantly obeyed, turning around and sinking down on his knees. Edouardo was removing his shirt, and Lance began pulling his pants down.A large uncut cock slapped him in the face. Riechen walked up behind Edouardo, running his hands up and down his chest and over his smooth latino ass.Lance started to suck on his large hardening cock. Lance knew where this would go.Riechen would let Edouardo play out all his popstar fantasies with Lance.Then Riechen would use him for his own pleasure.Riechen always got what he wanted, and Lance knew Riechen wanted Edouardo.His eyes always gave him away. Edouardo pulled Lance up, pushing him back on the king size bed.Within seconds he was on top of him.kissing him,touching him all over.He licked and sucked all over his body,engulfing Lance's nine inch cock to the base. Lance stroked him, trying to make Edouardo feel good, he knew what he had to do.He didn't want Riechen to get angry. To Lance this was just another acting job, Lance Bass at his best. Edouardo moved into a 69 position, Lance deep throating his eight inch cock. Riechen got on the bed, pushing his two fingers into Lance's smooth ass. "You dream boy loves to be fucked Edouardo, he needs that big cock inside him." Edouardo pushed ahead looking at Lance's ass being fingered.A big smile broke on his face. Within minutes Edouardo was sheathed and fucking him,hard and deep.Lance was fighting the need to scream, not in pleasure but in pain. Riechen pushed his hard cock into Lance's mouth, muffling his blossoming screams. Edouardo was oblivious to what was happening to Lance,he was too into fucking his dream man. Lance took it all in to himself,the tears, and the pain.He closed his eyes when Edouardo came inside him, falling on top of him,roughly kissing him. Lance didn't open his eyes for a while, Edouardo had moved off of him. Lance turned his head and looked towards his right.Edouardo was staring at him.Panting.Riechen was on top of him,pounding into him,fucking him deep. Riechen always got what he wanted. "You need to keep pleasing this hot boy, Lance.Suck him while I fuck him.Come on, your his dream whore, do as he wants."Riechen's eyes were wild with desire. Edouardo started pulling Lance towards him again. Lance obeyed,leaning over onto Edouardo's chest, taking his hardening cock again in his mouth.No one seeing the tears in his eyes. Edouardo couldn't believe his luck.His dream man and his equally hot lover were pleasing him in ways he had never imagined. After spending all morning with Riechen,being teased and fondled,Riechen had promised him this hot stud as his reward,if he gave in to him. Edouardo gave in.Tonight he would be used, Riechen using him to fullfill his desires. Yes Edouardo have given in,but it was worth it.Lance Bass was perfect, the hottest ass he'd ever had. Riechen pulled out of him, then pushed Lance back on his back. "Go ahead man, fuck him again,he loves it." Edouardo smiled,climbing on top of Lance again.He pushed back into him ,not giving Lance time to adjust.Lance almost screamed, but somehow kept it in. While he continued to push into him, Riechen positioned himself behind Edouardo, entering him again. Riechen smiled, this is what he loved.Being the master,two studs beneath him,being used for his pleasure.He would use Edouardo all night,and when he left, he always had Lance to play with.Yeah,Lance was his. Edouardo moaned and groaned, cumming again inside Lance,just as Riechen came inside him. Both men collapsing on top of Lance. Edouardo was in heaven,this would be a memorable night. Man this was his lucky day. Lance, below them,knew it wasn't his. Justin closed off his call to Anna. He felt bad about calling her at home on a sunday,but he felt it was urgent. She had listened to him after their small talk, letting him explain everything. Justin walked back into the living room,Nana had returned and was seated next to Michael. Justin sat down on his other side. "Its all set,Mikey.She can see you tomorrow afternoon at two.She has an office downtown where you can be private."Justin said putting his hand in Michael's. Michael acknowledged the close contact with a squeeze of Justin's hand.Justin smiled at him. "Ok,Jus.I will go if you think its best." "It is best,Mikey, but you have to believe that too, okay?"Justin waited for his answer. "Yes,Jus.I believe it too.I have to talk to someone about all this,to find myself again." Justin and Nana both kissed Michael's cheeks. Michael blushed a bit. "Wow, kissing in stereo," Michael said half heartedly. Nana slapped him lightly on the shoulder. "Quite being a smart ass,Mico."She said smiling at him. He returned her smile. "You have a weird sense of humor,Tavarro."Steve smiled. "Thats what your bitch of a sister always says."Michael beamed at Vicky. "Why you pencil dick."Vicky charged at Michael,jumping on top of him,tickling his ribs. Michael's laughter filled the room,Justin thought it was intoxicating. "Save me,Justin." "Your on your own, Mikey."JUstin laughed getting up out of the way. "I thought you said you'd protect me?" "We never said anything about crazy women." Michael kept laughing, trying to get Vicky to stop. She kept tickling him,his laughter continuing until he suddenly screamed. Justin was beside him in a flash. Vicky stepped back,frightened. Michael took a deep intake of breath, his hand on his side. "Oh Michael, I forgot your bruised ribs,I am so sorry."She looked on the verge of tears. Michael lightly pushed Justin out of the way,wrapping his arm around her. "Its ok Victoria,I'm ok, its just a little tender thats all.You didn't hurt me much." He keep stroking her shoulder,smiling at her. She relaxed a bit finally smiling.Michael leaned into her ear and whispered something. She laughed, and then kissed him. She got up off the couch and immediately tackled Justin. "Who you calling a crazy woman,pencil dick." She started tickling him wildly,Justin fighting to stop laughing.He lost. Michael just sat back smiling and chuckling.Nana put her arm around him, smiling herself. "Mikey, save me from this bitch." "As you so rightly said, your on your own,sweetie." VIcky finally had enough of what she needed, and playfully slapped Justin across the ass. I wish I could touch Justin's beautiful ass,Michael thought.He inwardly blushed. Where had that come from,he wondered. "You will think better before you make fun of a lady again, won't you." She said smugness apparent in her voice,staring at Justin. "Yes,I will."Justin said,timidly. Vicky helped him up off the floor. "Will you let me know when we see a lady."Justin said, taking off towards the bedroom. Vicky chased after him but he shut the door in her face. "Come out and face me like a man, Timberlacking."Vicky pounded on the door. "Help me Mikey,please." Everyone could hear Justin behind the door. Michael laughed inside himself,what a show his friends were playing for him. He got up and walked over to the door. "vicky, you leave that terrified man alone."Michael said in a fatherly tone, a serious look on his face. Vicky looked up at him,seeing his face, then burst out laughing. Michael started laughing too. They could never be serious with each other when it came to fooling around. "Justin, come on out.Its all over." Justin hesitantly walked out of the room,unsure what Vicky was capable of. "Ok,Vic, you know the drill." Vicky smiled at Michael, and pulled Justin into a hug.Kissing him lightly on the cheek. "Welcome to the club,pencil dick."She said kissing him on the other cheek. "The club?" "Michael and I are an exclusive club of two, best friends and confidants.Your our new third." Justin beamed, he was a part of their special club. Nana got up smiling holding a glass of ice water in her hand.She walked over and laughed at all three. "The three amigos,I believe." They all smiled. Nana smiled back,putting her arm around Justin.Michael stepped back,sensing what might be about to happen. "Oh,Justin.Can I tell you one other thing." Nana said in a low voice,pulling him away from the other two. Justin bend down a bit to listen to her. She promptly poured the glass of ice water over his head. Everyone stood there in shock. "You were looking directly at me when you said "Let me know when we see a lady.I'll have you know,I am a lady." Nana looked at him,standing still, water dripping off his blond hair. Then she started laughing her head off. Lonnie started joining in,Steve and Vicky soon were on the floor laughing hard. Even Michael couldn't stop from laughing at poor shocked Justin. Justin stood there for a moment in shock,dripping water all over the floor.And then he started laughing too. All the tension was gone from the room, replaced with laughter. The next two hours were spent chatting,talking and laughing. Justin stayed close beside Michael,touched by his sudden change, the laughter making him seem like a new man. Michael had even helped Justin clean up his wet hair and chest. Michael felt a sense of relief, his problems pushed back into his mind. And he had enjoyed toweling Justin's wet head.He liked touching Justin. At around 10:30, Vicky and Steve got up ,stretching and saying their goodbyes. Steve was leaving in the morning , going back to New York.Vicky was heading to her parents for a few days,to celebrate her birthday. Nana would stay for a few days making sure Michael was okay. Vicky hugged everyone , leaving Michael to walk her out of the suite. "You going to be okay,Mikey.I can stay if your not." Michael knew she meant it,she would stay. "No Victoria, I have Nana here with me, and Justin.I will be fine.You need to spend some time with your parents." Vicky hugged Michael again,and whispered in his ear. "Give him a chance,Mikey.He can make you so happy." Michael smiled, hugging her again. Steve came up to him, hugging him like a brother. "You take care Tavarro, your a heck of a good guy.I am glad I have gotten to know you better.We are going to be great friends." Michael smiled, he really liked Steve. "And if Timberlake gets on your nerves,do what I always did.Hes a sucker for tickling, and such a wussy." Justin came up behind him and tackled him,starting his own tickling war. Steve couldn't win,so he surrendered. Justin was laughing like a little kid. Lonnie gave Steve and Vicky both a big hug,Nana giving both a hug and kiss. They left to waving friends. "Well Mico, I need some sleep,I will be off to my room down the hall." "I will come with you, Nana.You shouldn't be alone."Michael started to help her get her things together. Justin's smile fell from his face, his sadness obvious. Nana picked up on it immediately,as did Lonnie. Michael didn't seem to notice,his concern for his grandmother evidently more important. Nana looked at him,then looked at Justin.Michael followed her gaze. Michael immediately knew what was wrong with Justin. He wants me to stay, he looks like he's lost his best friend.Is he going to miss me that much? Justin turned his head, acting like he was looking for something,not wanting him to see his upset face. Michael turned back to his grandmother,who was smiling at him,with a twinkle in her eye. "No,Michael, its fine.I am just going straight to bed.You would be better off staying here with Justin.But its up to you." Justin was obviously listening to their conversation,but trying not to show it. He was also waiting to hear Michael's reply. "Well, all my stuff is here, and my medications.I guess I could stay here again if its ok with Justin." Justin's smile was matched only by his enthusiastic response. "Yeah,I guess that would be swell,Mikey.And you sleep well here too." Only when your beside me,Justin.Michael thought. Nana hugged both her boys, her grandson, and her new grandson. Justin loved this women, she was so sweet. "Have a peaceful night,Nana.Love ya." Michael said kissing her cheek. "Night,Nana.Sweet dreams."Justin kissing her too. "Goodnight, my two boys." Both of them smiled,blushing. Lonnie started smirking,giving Nana a hug. "Night, foxy moma." "Night,big bro." Michael and Justin were holding in their laughter. Lonnie watched her to her room, then closed their door. Lonnie started turning off lights, saying good night to Michael and Justin. "I'll be up around 9,and will get breakfast ready.Night guys." Lonnie headed off to his room. "Night,Lon." They both said together. Now they were alone. Michael and Justin, just the two of them. They both stood there, looking shyly at each other. "Well, I should take the couch,Mikey.You take the bed,for a good rest." "No,Justin,I couldn't make you do that.Its your suite, its your bed." "Well,"Justin seemed nervous."If you want, we could sleep together in the bed.We did last night.But only if your comfortable with that." Michael smiled at Justin's nervousness.He really was nervous.But he was also thinking of Michael's feelings. Michael was starting to feel good about this man.About his feelings towards him. "Thats fine with me Justin.I trust you, I know you will be a gentleman." Justin blushed a little. Michael reached out and put his hand in Justin's.Justin's smile returned in full force.They walked into the bedroom together. They seperated when they got to the bed,both moving onto a different side. Michael pulled off his tshirt and sweat pants,turning away from Justin. Justin sat down on the bed, he couldn't help admire Michael's smooth back, his slim form.Then Justin saw the scar on his lower back.His eyes began to water. Michael turned just in time to see Justin beginning to cry.Justin turned his head, not wanting Michael to see. Michael quickly walked around the bed,sitting down on the bed beside Justin.He put his arm around him. "What's wrong,Jus? Why are you crying?" "I am sorry Mikey,I saw your scar and it put everything into focus for me.I can't believe how much you have been hurt.I wish I could take away all that pain, I wish you had never had to endure that.I wish I had been there to stop it from happening." Justin started crying more. Michael couldn't believe how much Justin was hurting for him.How much he was affected by this. Michael hugged Justin, kissing his cheek,rocking him back and forth. Justin gradually calmed down. "I thought I was suppose to be comforting you."He shyly smiled,once his tears had stopped. "Nonsense,Justin.We are here to comfort each other,remember.We need each other." Justin looked up at Michael.There eyes connected,staring into each other. Michael made the connection first.Their lips met again,a kiss of tenderness. Their tongues opened their lips slightly,tasting each other in a new way. Justin couldn't believe how sweet Michael's tongue tasted, how excited it made him feel.He didn't want this to end, it was feeding his soul. But Michael broke the connection as quickly as he had started.He pulled back slowly from Justin.But his eyes remained focused on Justin's blue eyes. "Thank you Justin.For caring so much about me,your tenderness is overwhelming.But I am not ready to take this to another level,not yet.I can sense you wanted this to go further,after all, your unbelieveably handsome,and you can have anyone you want.Its only natural that you should want to be pleased that way."Michael's head began to lower,his cheeks blushing. Justin put his hand under Michael's chin, bringing his lips to his again,for a gentle kiss. "Michael,listen to me,please.I can have anyone I want? People have always told me that.Well their wrong.I am not like that.I am a man with traditional values.I believe in the value of love.Don't get me wrong,sex is fantastic, but to me it has to go hand in hand with love.The two are entwined.I can't make love to someone without there being love.Simple as that." Michael looked at Justin,amazed that someone like him could have such values. "And there is only one person on my mind at this moment.You. I know that you aren't ready for that commitment yet,Michael.I understand that,and above all else, I respect you for that. I would never force myself on you,Mikey.I love you too much to ever want to hurt you." Now Michael was starting to cry.Justin brushed his tears away. "I won't lie to you,Michael.I want to be with you it that way, its only natural,as you said.I think your handsome too.To me your beauty is breathtaking.But I want you to want me too.I want you to love me as much as I love you.Only then can we be truly together.Do you understand what I am saying?" Michael kissed Justin again, a tender kiss.Justin smiled when Michael pulled back. "Thank you Justin.You always know how to make me feel good." Justin hugged Michael to him, feeling his naked hairy chest against him.Michael truly was breathtaking. "Well, we should get some sleep,let me get undressed." Michael jumped into the bed,laying back on top of the covers. Justin got up,removing his shirt and pants.Michael couldn't help but look at his beautiful chest,abs and back.He truly was a beautiful man. Justin sensed Michael was watching him.He though he might as well give him a show.Justin dropped his pants from his hands and bent down to pick them up.Michael got a beautiful view of Justin's firm round butt. Michael sighed inwardly,putting his hand over his mouth. Justin turned around, smiling. "Like the view,sexy." Michael blushed, feeling embarrassed at being caught. Justin started laughing.Then he stood up and turned to face Michael. Michael couldn't help but admire the handsome man in front of him.Justin knew Michael was in awe of his body.But Justin was just as much in awe of Michael's. "Please stand up Michael,I want to look at you too." Michael got up reluctantly out of bed,and stood in front of Justin.They both looked into each other's eyes.Both sensed the other's wishes, desires and hopes. Justin took his time then, looking at Michael's body,memorizing every inch of toned, muscular skin.His hairy torso, two small nipples with delicate buds.His washboard stomach,an outy belly button.His slim muscular legs. Justin could also see that Michael was getting restless in his shorts also,a large basket was visible.Justin blushed. He then looked back into Michael's face.His beautiful,flawless face.Michael smiled at him shyly. "Your beautiful Michael, your body is beautiful." Michael smiled a large toothy smile. Then he turned his eyes towards Justin's body. Many photographs had been taken of his body, his torso and his famous face.But to Michael, they were mere images of the man standing before him.His body took his breath away.His chest was smooth,sculptured and toned.His abs were perfectly proportioned.He had just a light dusting of hair, almost hidden against his fair skin,but it stood out of his beautiful muscular arms and muscled legs. Michael also say the rising tent in Justin's boxers.It concealed a big surprise in Michael's estimation. Michael tried to imagine what it would feel like to have that body against him,on top of him,skin to skin,naked. Michael's own tent was rising. He blushed even more, then turned his gaze to Justin's face. Justin was smiling at him in the sexiest way.It took Michael's breath away. In a matter of moments the two of them were locked in a passionate embrace, their arms around each other.They could both feel their lust rubbing against each other. But Michael couldn't go further,this was happening too fast.There were too many conflicting emotions running through his mind. He backed away from Justin,breaking their tender embrace. Justin sensed Michael's apprehension.His doubts and fears. Justin motioned for Michael to get into bed,Michael did as Justin asked him. Michael made himself comfortable while Justin put their clothes neatly on a chair. Michael couldn't keep his eyes of Justin's muscular form as it moved around the room,finally returning to the bed and turning off the lamp on the end table.Justin lay down in bed beside Michael. They both lay there sensing an uncomfortable distance between them.A safe distance that Justin was respecting for Michael's sake. Michael started to say he was sorry, but Justin turned to him and put his finger to his lips. "Michael, you have to stop saying that.You have nothing to apologize for.If your ever unsure of anything,tell me.Its that simple.I won't hate you for it,I will love you for it.I want you to be comfortable with me,Michael, to trust me enough to feel safe in my arms." Michael looked back at Justin.His eyes were on him, his beautiful blue eyes staring at him, and Michael saw what was in them,what he had seen all evening. Michael moved slowly towards Justin,destroying the distance between them. He put his head on Justin's naked chest, Justin wrapping his arm around Michael's naked torso. Michael could feel Justin's heart beating underneath his head.Michael's hand gently stroked Justin's chest, his skin feeling so warm and smooth. "I do feel safe in your arms,Jus.You make me feel safer than I have felt in a long time." Justin kissed the top of Michael's head,loving him even more.It felt so good to have Michael in his arms,here in bed, the two of them naked against each other,it was as if it was where Justin always wanted to be. Justin could feel Michael's hairy chest rubbing against him, he could feel his body warmth. Justin felt safe himself,safe with the person he loved. They both closed their eyes, snuggling closer,feeling safe. Justin's final words to Michael before he felt sleep overtake him were- I love you. He didn't hear what Michael replied. "I know, Jus, I know." End of chapter 12 Another chapter for the ages.I hoped you liked the introduction of Lance. What is happening there?Is there trouble there? There still are a lot of secrets in Michael's past to be uncovered. Much more fun and excitement to come. Please keep giving me tips and suggestions.I love it. My heart soars with the positive influences. Peace out, and remain faithful. Angel.
