Chapter 223

Justin stretched his muscular arms, the man walking down the staircase, his bare chest on full view, wearing only black pajama pants.

He smiled, walking towards the kitchen, heavenly aromas meeting his nostrils.

He walked through the kitchen doorway, smiling at a vision of love shining in the sunshine by the stove.

"Good morning, Lucky." Justin smiled, walking up to him, Lucas' handsome face meeting his.

"Good morning, Justy. You're up early. Where are our other two loves?" he smiled, Justin kissing his lips, walking towards the kitchen table, his sons cooing at him.

"They're still in dreamland, wrapped together in happiness. I had to squeeze out from between them. Nature called." Justin smiled, kissing his sons' foreheads, both smiling up at him, their bottles in their mouths.

"Dada! Morning!" Little Joshy said, sucking on his bottle, Justy waving his small hands.

"Morning, my angels. Daddy feeds you." Justin smiled, walking back to Lucas, his naked arms going around him from behind.

"Daddy's going to feed all his men. As well as all our new neighbors." Lucas smiled, flipping the pancakes in the pan before him.

"Orion's Way, a community of your love." Justin smiled, kissing Lucas' neck, the young man wearing a t-shirt and cargo shorts.

"I smell the soap on your skin, babe. You've already showered. I wanted your wet love." Justin said, his hands now on Lucas' t-shirt-covered abs.

"The sun shone early, I had to get moving. Go wake our other angels if you need some joined wetness." Lucas smiled, Justin smiling at him.

"Need help here, babe?" he smiled, releasing Lucas, leaning against the kitchen counter beside him.

"Thanks, babe. But all is in hand. Just some toast to make, and coffee to brew. Everything else is near done." Lucas smiled, removing the last of the pancakes.

"Panskakes!" Little Justy said loudly from the table, Justin smiling and picking up a small plate with two pancakes on it.

"Coming, our little piggies." Justin smiled, Lucas laughing, Justin returning to the table and feeding his sons one each.

Lucas smiled, turning off the stove, setting the platter he'd filled with the others in the warming oven and microwave.

He put the pans in the filled sink, wiping his hands on the dishcloth on the counter, picking up a pitcher of orange juice, joining his soulmate at the table with his sons.

He poured himself and Justin a glass, refilling his boys' sipping cups at the same time with milk.

Both boys smiled, chewing on pancakes in their small hands, their bottles empty and discarded, Justin setting them on the table, guiding their sipping cups into their other hands.

"They're ravenous in the morning." he smiled, Lucas smiling at Justin, kissing his lips.

"Like fathers, like sons." he smiled, Justin winking at him.

"You should shower and dress, babe. I feel the community stirring. Finn's growling stomach is echoing down the lane." Lucas smiled, Justin laughing, his boys giggling.

"I'll alert the S.P.C.A." he smiled, Lucas smiling back.

"Let the Forest Rangers know as well. He's a bear through and through."
Justin laughed, smiling at his man.

"Who stayed here last night?" he smiled, sipping at his orange juice.

"No one, babe. Everyone stayed in their new homes last night. Today will be a day of moving and shopping, I believe." Lucas smiled, Justin shaking his head with love.

"Your love never stops giving." Justin smiled, moving from his chair, sitting down in Lucas' lap, the two kissing again.

"There's the first move of the day. My love in search of yours." Justin smiled, Lucas smiling and tweaking his left nipple, Justin softly moaning.

"God, I love you, Luke." he said, Lucas smiling into his blue pools of love.

"Later, beautiful. Our men don't need a floorshow." Lucas smiled, Justin's eyes moving, two smiling faces staring at him and Lucas.

"Morning, my loves." Justin smiled, rising from Lucas' lap, Josh and Lance walking forward, the two kissing Justin's warm lips.

"Someone's risen early." Josh smiled, his fingers rubbing against the tent showing in Justin's pajama pants.

"The boy starts his day showing his love always." Lucas smiled, Josh and Lance both leaning down, kissing Lucas' lips.

Justin smiled, the three men joining their sons and Lucas, Josh and Lance both kissing the boy's cheeks.

"Panskakes yummy, Papa!" Joshy said, Josh smiling at him, Lance smiling as well.

"Our boys need more, Lancy." Lucas smiled, the man nodding, rising from the table and heading for the oven, knowing Lucas probably had it full.

Josh smiled, kissing his man's lips again.

"And how early were you up, my angel?" he said, Lucas smiling at him.

"Five-thirty. The love awoke me before the boys. Our neighbors were very amorous all night." Lucas said, the three men smiling at him, Lance returning with more pancakes for the boys.

"You feel all their showing love, Lucky?" Justin said, feeding little Joshy.

"My mind's not a porno movie, stud." Lucas smiled, Justin blushing.

Lance smiled, watching little Justy consume more pancake.

"I mean, you sense their deep love." Justin said, Lucas nodding.

"Their love shines brightest when it's at the core of passion. I don't see, just feel their flowing love. I believe a lot got very wet this morning." Lucas smiled, Justin smiling at him.

"I smell the soap off all of you now. You all showered without me." Justin said, pouting.

Josh and Lance smiled, Lucas winking at them.

"We woke up and you both were gone. Our love took over." Josh said, Lance smiling at him.

"You could have yelled for us." Justin said, Lance smiling and kissing his man's lips.

"I had my hands full." Lance smiled, Josh smiling more.

"I had my mouth full." he said, Lucas laughing, the other three joining him.

"Monster love first thing, it's magical." Justin smiled, his husband smiling at him.

"You need to shower, babe. I'm sure the wandering neighbors will be here soon for a free meal." Lance said, Lucas smiling and nodding.

"No one wants to wash my back?" Justin smiled, standing up, the three men smiling at him.

"Or anything else?" he smiled, his pajama pants coming off, standing nude before his soulmates.

"Hit the showers, HD. Your hand can take care of that wandering python." Lucas smiled, Justin pouting again.

Lance smiled, looking at Lucas with love.

"He needs you, Lucky. I feel his love and need for you." Lance smiled, Lucas smiling and standing up.

"I bathed my boys first thing, might as well tackle the last one." Lucas smiled, his shirt coming off.

Justin beamed, Lucas' hand wrapping around Justin's risen shaft.

"Come on, babe. Let's take this python for a ride." Lucas smiled, everyone hearing the front door bell go off.

"I'll get that, Lucky. You ring Justin's bell." Josh smiled, Justin grinning, Josh following him and Lucas out of the kitchen, Lance smiling.

He smiled at his two sons, both smiling up at him.

"Dada goings to be happy! Daddy's love great!" Justy said, Lance smiling.

"It's the best, my sons. All my boys are ravenous." he smiled, feeding them more pancakes.

Twenty minutes later Justin and Lucas walked out onto the patio, both now dressed, Justin smiling widely.

"About damn time, Timberlake. I was going to call the S.P.C.A. It sounded like a horny badger was loose upstairs." Finn grinned, Skyler rolling her eyes.

Justin burst into laughter, almost doubling over, Lucas laughing as well, rubbing Justin's back.

"Only you, Finny." he smiled, Finn looking at him strangely.

"Only me what?"

"No need for the phone call, Delaney. I called them earlier, what with that growling bear looking for a free meal we heard this morning." Justin laughed, Finn blushing, others laughing, Lucas smiling and leaning down, kissing Finn's cheek at the table.

"Don't ever change, Finny. Your love sparks all our laughter." Lucas smiled, Finn softly smiling.

"I think his electrodes are short circuiting. Right, Frankie?" Alain smiled, Finn laughing.

"Yeah, Sky loves when I spark at night. It's like fireworks." he grinned, Skyler laughing, the two kissing.

"Just don't get him wet. He'll electrocute you." Lucas smiled, everyone now laughing, Finn raising a finger.

"How did everyone sleep in their new homes?" Lucas smiled, Lance handing him a mug of coffee, everyone relaxing around the tables set up on the patio.

"It was amazing, Dad. Our place was so quiet and peaceful. We slept like babies." Colton smiled, his four soulmates smiling at him.

Lucas smiled at all of them, sitting down beside his husband.

"We did as well." Usher said, his soulmates around him, Adam's hand in Usher's lap.

"Best night's sleep I've ever had." Chris smiled, Piney kissing his cheek.

 "Us as well." Gio said, Nick kissing his lips, Pearce surrounded by them.

"I had my angel's love, that always guarantees me a good night's sleep." Harry smiled, Alain kissing his lips.

"Yes, I'm sure you all finally slept wrapped in love. Who says newlyweds always have all the fun?" Lucas smiled, everyone softly blushing.

"You felt our love?" Adam said blushing, Lucas smiling at him.

"The neighborhood's love has increased greatly. I'm going to be so happy. I sense its beauty, I don't watch."

Everyone smiled, sensing Lucas had felt their spiritual, joined love.

The front door bell rang again, Lucas smiling again.

"That'll be the newlyweds, I invited them for breakfast." Lucas smiled, everyone smiling at him, Lance walking into the house.

"They must be exhausted. I remember my wedding night." Adam smiled, Lucas smiling at him.

"We all remember that night of love." he smiled, his soulmates smiling at him.

Lance walked back onto the patio, surrounded by five smiling faces.

"They can still walk! Viagra anyone?!" Chris laughed, Finn laughing beside him.

Lucas smiled, rising from his seat, the five hugging him, kissing each on the cheek.

"Welcome to your first day of marital bliss. Ignore the whale and bear. They both had to beg last night." he smiled, Piney and Skyler laughing, their men blushing.

The five smiled at everyone, everyone rising and hugging them.

"It was beautiful. The suite was so beautiful. Thank you, Lucas." Jessica said, Justin smiling at her.

"Married love always is." Lucas said, kissing her cheek.

"I'm famished!" Bruno said, Jeremy smiling at his husbands.

"We all are. I hope you made your pancakes, Luke?" Zac smiled, Lucas smiling and kissing his cheek.

"For the five of new love, always. The tables are stocked as are our souls. Let's eat everyone." Lucas smiled, everyone returning to their seats, the five new arrivals sitting down together, Lucas remaining on his feet.

"Let's bow and give thanks." Lucas said, everyone smiling and bowing their heads, the little ones in their parents' laps cooing.

"It's us again, Lord. Your faithful children of love and happiness. We join here together to bask in the love surrounding us, finding nourishment in our joined friendships and love. Guide us through the days ahead, let us feel our love's greatness. It shall only make us stronger. Let's give thanks to your love as well, it fills our already full souls. Amen." Lucas smiled, everyone saying Amen.

"Amen!" Little Joshy said, his hand slapping the table in front of him, he seated in Justin's lap.

"They're still ravenous, my loves." Josh said, little Justy in his lap, smiling around at everyone.

"Daddy's foods good!" he smiled, everyone smiling towards Lucas.

"As is his love." Adam smiled, Lucas smiling at him.

Everyone dove into the warm food, their friendships and families joined.

An hour later they were all relaxing around the tables, Jonathan and Hemi refilling coffee mugs, everyone contented.

"Your meals feed our hearts, Luke. That was heaven." Chris said, burping, Piney slapping his chest.

"Our whale just spouted. I have the seal of approval." Lucas smiled, Chris blushing, then smiling.

"That blow hole needed to be corked." Justin said, little Joshy now in Lance's arms.

"You can't silence love, no matter how it's shown." Lucas smiled, Chris smiling at him.

"Our home is amazing, Luke. Piney and I have decided we want to move there permanently. It's so more like us than our present place." Chris said, Lucas smiling at him.

"There be whales here!" Lucas said, his Scotty voice more on point than Chris' last night.

Everyone laughed, Chris' the loudest.

"You are so much better at things than all of us." he said, Lucas smiling at him again.

"I wouldn't say that, Chris. The echoes of love around here last night were pretty equal in their intensities, young and old." he said, everyone smiling at their soulmates.

"We're moving in as well, right away." Adam said, Lucas nodding.

"I sensed as much. Hence my giving all of you your own places. Love them as your own, they now are. My culinary skills need a rest. I expect a lot of invitations to dinner." Lucas grinned, everyone laughing, nodding their heads.
"Guaranteed, Luke." Zac smiled, Lucas smiling at him.

"Clive called just before breakfast. The crew's done the surrounding projects. We're now a gated community. He's dropping off the gate key remotes for everyone." Lucas said, everyone smiling widely.

"You're so organized, Luke." Bruno said, Lucas smiling at him.

"Yes, I am." he smiled, Colton smiling at him.

"I think they'll love it, babe." Josh said, Lucas smiling at him.

Everyone looked around at each other, Lucas smiling, rising from his seat.

"Be right back, everyone." Lucas said, the doorbell ringing again.

"Who's that?" Lance said, Josh shrugging his shoulders.

"Probably Clive, maybe." he said, Justin nodding.

A few minutes later Lucas walked out of the house, five people following him.

One was Clive, the others surprising everyone.

"Joey? How did you get here so fast?" Chris said, Joey smiling at everyone, his wife and two kids beside him.

"When Lucas called last night, I just had to change my plans. I had to see our new home!" he smiled, Lucas smiling at him, his face showing soft red spots.

"They kissed me at the front door. And I think you may have broken some ribs, Joe."

Everyone smiled, rising from the table, hugging each other.

Clive smiled, seeing all the love before him.

"Here are the keys, Luke." he said, smiling and handing Lucas an envelope.
"Thanks, Clive." he smiled, Finn looking at the guard.

"So, a new barrier really surrounds all of us?" he said, Clive smiling at him.

"Yes, Finn. Lucas' zoo of exotic animals is fully protected, Chewbacca."

Everyone laughed, Finn blushing, looking at Lucas.

"You told him that name?" he said, Lucas smiling.

"We all did, Frankie." Justin smirked, Clive laughing.

"A real monster indeed. You're all surrounded by my company's protection, and our friendship. Myself and my soulmates see and feel the love within Orion's Way." Clive smiled, everyone smiling at him.

"Thanks, Clive." Justin said, the man smiling at everyone.

"You'll each receive walkie-talkies for your homes. We can be there at a moment's notice. We'll patrol the perimeters, you'll be fully protected. Just let me know when you need the cameras installed, Luke. And Simon wants first dibs on the hot stuff."

Everyone laughed, Clive smiling, shaking all their hands, the man leaving with their friendship.

"This is all so amazing, Luke." Bruno said, Lucas smiling at him, the Hawaiian singer staring at the two slender boxes in his hand, which no one had noticed.

"My love amazes everyone, and gives much. This is for you and Jessica, Bruno." he said, handing each of them a box.

"What's this, Luke?" Jessica said, taking hers, Cindy's arm going around her, Bruno surrounded by Zac and Jeremy, both staring at the box now in Bruno's hand.

"It's the last part of my wedding gift to you five. Go ahead, open them." Lucas smiled, the five smiling, Bruno and Jessica opening the boxes.

Colton smiled, looking at Lucas.

Their eyes widened, pulling out the boxes' contents.

"These are airline tickets, two sets of them!" Jessica said, she and Cindy looking at the threesome of newlywed love beside them.

"The first tickets are to Jamaica. Your honeymoon of love begins tonight on Embrace Island, my friends. All who surround you have felt its love, you need to as well."

The five teared up, staring at Lucas, his soulmates surrounding him.

"This is my gift to all of you, my friends." Lucas said, Josh smiling at him.

"And the second set of tickets?" Zac said, staring at Lucas with tearful love.

"They're open tickets from an airline. You can travel with them wherever you so wish. They have an open value. I sense you all need to visit your families to show them your new love. Cindy and Jeremy will gain their new love, I'm sure." Lucas smiled.

The five teared up, moving forward, hugging the young man, everyone around them smiling and clapping.

"A honeymoon on a tropical island! I can't believe it!" Zac smiled, Bruno and Jeremy kissing his lips.

"You'll be bronzed with love and life." Lucas smiled, Alain smiling at them.

"Baja has two cabanas already stocked and ready for you five. They're on opposite ends of the community of Justin's love." he smiled, Justin smiling at him.

"I don't know what to say." Zac said, Lucas smiling and kissing his cheek.

"I think you should say that you need to go get packed. The flights leave at three." he smiled, the five hugging him again.

"Thank you so much! This is all so amazing!" Jessica said, kissing Lucas on his lips.

"I felt the love on that island, Jess. You need to feel your own love there." Justin smiled, Lance's arm going around him.

"We all felt its love. You're all going to be amazed." he smiled, the five smiling widely.

"Thank you all. We'll talk to you when we get back." Jeremy smiled, his sister smiling at him.

"Enjoy the sun and the love, my friends. Return to our love with your own larger." Lucas said, all five hugging him separately, the five leaving with their words of love, the group following them through the house.

Lucas smiled, Josh's arm around him.

"Your love never ends, babe." he smiled, Lucas smiling around at everyone at the front door, the newlyweds waving goodbye from their vehicles.

"What's been going on around here?" Joey smiled, Kelly kissing his cheek.

"I sense Lucas' love, as always." she said, Lucas smiling.

"Let's relax at the pool everyone. A light lunch after, then I believe the shopping demons may be unleashed. New homes need stocking." he smiled, Adam smiling at him.

"They're already stocked with your love, Luke." he smiled, Lucas laughing.

"I think there's some Levine wetness already covering some walls at your new home, Adam."
Adam blushed, Lucas laughing, his arm going around him.

"Let's get you wet again, sexy." he said, guiding Adam towards the patio.
Everyone smiled, following the two.

Joey hugged Lucas tightly, the man gasping.

"I need air, Joe! I think they're all broken now!" he gasped, Joey smiling and releasing the young man, wiping his own tearing eyes.

"Your love never ends, Lucas! What you've given all of us!" he smiled, Lucas smiling at him.

"All I've given is my love, Joe. You're a part of that always. But no loud screaming or wrestling with Chris on the streets. Clive has a Taser." he smiled, everyone laughing.

"Where's the fun in that?" Chris smiled, Joey high-fiving him.

"I think the neighborhood's about to get very noisy." Skyler said, Finn standing with Chris.

"Our own football teams." Finn grinned, Chris rolling his eyes.

"Your idea of football and mine are different, soccer boy." he smiled, Finn smirking.

"Ok, rugby it will be!"
Joey and Chris laughed, the three hugging each other.

"Set your Tasers to stun." Lucas smiled, everyone laughing, the young man pulling off his t-shirt, smiling at everyone surrounding him.

"Stunning you are!" Adam yelled from the pool, his men's arms around him.

"On that note, let's make some noise!" Lucas yelled, the young man running for the pool, diving right in front of Adam, Usher and Pierce.
All three submerged with the large splash, Adam coming out of the water, Lucas' strong arms wrapped around him, their lips joined.

Adam felt the love and friendship flowing from Lucas' lips, the young man breaking their kiss, Adam staring into his violet pools of love.
"Stunning indeed. And delicious!" he smiled, Usher and Pierce laughing beside them, Adam softly smiling.

"I'm all wet now, Luke." he said, Lucas smiling, licking the man's chest.

"And you're still delicious. But the love you drip is for these two hotties. I'll just have to dine on my own three beauties." Lucas smiled, the young man swimming towards his three soulmates in the shallow end of the pool, their boys in their wet arms.

Adam felt Pierce's and Usher's tongues on his neck and chest, their arms around him again.

"His love stokes yours, my love. Let's swim to the shaded deep end." Pierce said, nibbling on Adam's neck.

Adam smiled, looking towards Lucas, the three moving to the deep end.

"The gayboys are at it again." Finn said, removing his shirt, standing on the pool's edge, smiling.

"Might as well add some fresh meat to the mix." Joey said, his foot finding Finn's backside, the man screaming as he hit the water.

Everyone laughed, Lucas smiling at his friend when he came up for air.

"The gay stew has its meat. Let's all nibble everyone." Lucas smiled, little Joshy now in his lap.

"Sweet!" Alain said, he and Harry diving into the pool.

"Stay away from me!" Finn screamed heading for the deep end.

Everyone laughed, shirts coming off, bikinis and trunks showing.

"You're no fun, Finny!" Alain laughed, swimming after him.

Harry laughed, Skyler now at his side, her children in her arms.

"Let them have their fun, Har." she smiled, Harry smiling and taking Julian from her.

"Let's join the other kids in the shallow end. We'll hose down our boys later."

The two laughed, joining the sixsome of love in the shallow end.

The pool party continued till lunch time, Colton and his men fixing everyone a delicious lunch.

After lunch families separated, off on missions of love, returning to their new homes.

Joey was awed by their new home, he and his family walking every room with Lucas and his soulmates.

Joey had intensely hugged all four at the front door after, their love showing for him and his family.

"It's yours, Joe. The new Fatone home of love. Make it your own." Lance smiled, Joey kissing his cheek.

"Already have some ideas, Lancy. The Chrises and we are going out today shopping." he smiled, Lucas smiling at the family before him.

"Buy the whale a pacifier, Joe. Piney will need some peace and quiet." he smiled, Joey laughing.

All afternoon the foursome of love visited the new homes, their occupants showing them their love.

Lucas saw everyone voicing their ideas for their décor and happiness.

He saw all of them lost in their happiness.

He and his family returned to their own home, joining their own love.

Lance watched the boys as Josh and Lucas showed Justin the love he needed, the voyages of love earlier igniting his needs.

Josh had taken him in the bathroom, then guiding the wet man to Lucas' giving love in the bedroom.

Josh had joined the two, Justin feeling all their giving passionate love.

Josh and Lucas had traded off with Lance, Justin feeling his husband's singular love last.

The two men smiled from the backyard when Justin and Lance walked out of the house, Justin's face showing its calm happiness.

"Our horn dog, I believe, has been fulfilled." Josh smiled, laying on the grass, little Joshy and Justy on top of him laughing.

"Never, my angels." Justin smiled, walking down the patio steps, his hand linked in Lance's, the two heading towards their soulmates and boys.

"Dada!" Little Joshy said, climbing off Josh's chest, Lucas smiling and watching him, the boy suddenly standing up.

He slowly walked across the grass; Josh's, Lance's and Justin's eyes widening in surprise, Lucas smiling, rising and following his son.

Justin knelt, the boy walking into his arms.

"My God, you're walking!" Justin gasped, the boy climbing up onto his thigh.

"Me needs my Dada!" he smiled, Justin smiling with tears.

"It's so amazing." Lance said, kneeling at Justin's side, Josh tearfully smiling, little Justy climbing off his lap, the boy walking as well towards Lucas.

Lucas took him into his arms when he walked into them, the boy giggling.

"Wuw walking, Daddy!" he smiled, the man smiling down at his son.

"My boys have gained their legs. Looks like the terrible twos are coming early." he smiled, Josh now at his side.

"It's so amazing, Luke. They can walk." he said, Lucas smiling and kissing his lips.

"They have their father's love and magic. It doesn't surprise me." Lance smiled, Lucas smiling and kissing his lips.

"They're going to run us ragged." he smiled, Justin smiling at him, their lips meeting.

"I'm going to follow them with love." Justin smiled, little Joshy laughing in his lap.

"Plays, Dada!" he said, Justin laughing lightly, dumping the boy into the grass, little Justy laughing, climbing off Lucas' lap, joining his brother with Justin, the man tickling both.

The four men smiled, playing with their sons in the sunny grass.

Hours later found the four men walking through their neighborhood, heading for Adam's new house.

The community had been invited there for dinner, Lucas smiling as he walked in the sunshine, little Joshy in his arms.

"The first of many meals of love on Orion's Way." Lance smiled, walking at his side, little Justy in his arms.

"We're all going to get so fat." Josh smiled back at them, he and Justin walking hand-in-hand in front of them.

"Never, my old man. Us young beauties are going to wear it off you." Lucas winked, Josh laughing.

"Promises, promises." he smiled, Josh feeling Justin's lips on his neck.

"First moment we get back home tonight I'm taking you on the foyer floor, old man." he smiled, Josh's hand slapping his covered ass.

"Your back's going to be on that floor, stud. I'm taking you first."

Lucas and Lance laughed, following their men.

"I think we're going to have a floor show tonight, Lucky." Lance smiled, Lucas kissing his cheek.

"I think Usher would look hot in a thong. All that chocolate muscle, yum." he said, all four laughing, the kids giggling in their arms.

"Nah, I think he meant us, Lucky." Justin smiled back, Lucas' hand finding his ass.

"I'd stuff your thong any day, Timberlake."

Justin beamed, the four walking up the front walkway of Adam's, Pierce's and Usher's new home, the front gate gone.

"No need for front gates on each home anymore." Lance smiled, Lucas nodding.

The construction crew had removed all the iron gates from each home's entrance, the community secure now and more open.

They walked up the driveway, walking up the front steps of the veranda on the front of their friends' home.

The door opened as they walked toward it, Pierce's smiling face greeting them.

"Good evening, guys. You're the last here!" he smiled, kissing all six, each of the men hugging him, Josh and Justin handing him each a bottle of wine.

"Thanks, guys. Adam's favorite." he smiled, guiding the group into his new home.

Lucas smiled, seeing personal touches shown through the home as they walked through it.

"The shoppers were busy." he smiled, Pierce smiling and kissing his cheek.

"We wanted our own stamp on it." he said, Lucas smiling at him.

"Understood. A home is made up of your own feelings and happiness." he smiled, Pierce smiling and guiding them through the kitchen, out onto the patio.

Lucas smiled, everyone waving at them as they walked out.

Adam walked up to them, the man wearing his Hawaiian shirt from last night, everyone in their similar attire, including Lucas and his family.

"The wedded love continues. And here the newlyweds had to take off." Lucas smiled, Adam kissing his lips.

"Welcome to our home, Lucas. Your love just made it real." he smiled, Usher smiling beside him now.

"I haven't had the real hot you yet, Levine. I'm still wondering what all the applause is about." Lucas smiled, Adam laughing.

"In my dreams, Carver-Belmont." he said, Lucas laughing.

"The house looks amazing, guys. Your love shines throughout it." he smiled, Usher hugging him.

"That it does, Luke." he smiled, Lucas kissing his lips.

"Thong be damned. You're hot regardless." he smiled, Usher blushing, not sure what he was referring to.
"Inside joke, my friend. I'm starving! What's for dinner?!" he smiled, Finn smiling at his friend.

"I've been told Adam's cooking. I hope it's not covered in tattoos." Finn laughed, Chris high-fiving him.

Adam blushed, raising one finger, Lucas laughing.

"I've had his cooking before. It's delicious. Make sure the Welshman and the whale are last on the buffet line."

Adam laughed, Lucas handing Usher little Joshy.

"Unky Ush!" the boy grinned, Usher blowing on his cheek, a raspberry given, the boy laughing.

"Let me help you in the kitchen, Adam." Lucas smiled, Adam smiling and guiding him back into the kitchen.

Everyone else smiled, sitting down, Pierce taking drink requests from the new visitors.

Adam smiled at Lucas, the two men at the kitchen counter filling bowls and platters, the room filled with wonderful aromas.

"You've cooked up a storm, Adam. They'll all be moochers here as well." Lucas smiled, Adam laughing.

"A good way to a man's heart is through his stomach." he smiled, Lucas smirking.

"I thought it was through his ass?" Lucas smiled, Adam laughing again, Lucas' hand slapping the singer's chino-covered ass.

"That way, too." he smiled, Lucas kissing his cheek, continuing to fill a platter with roast beef out of a roast pan.

Adam smiled, staring at the young man standing beside him.

"Thank you, Lucas. For all this. For this new home, for the two I love so deep within my heart. For the love I feel flowing through my soul." Adam said, soft wetness showing in his blue eyes.

"No thanks are necessary, my friend. My love has a small part of your heart as well. I'm happy with that." Lucas smiled, Adam smiling at him.

"I'm still free for more, stud." he smiled, Lucas laughing.

"Only in my dreams, Levine."

Adam smiled, staring into his violet pools.

Lucas leaned forward, kissing the man's warm lips, Adam feeling a surge within his heart.

The two broke the kiss, Lucas smiling at him.

"I love you as a brother, Luke. I've never known anyone like you. You radiate love." Adam smiled, Lucas nodding.

"I know that, Adam. My love's in your heart always."

Adam smiled, nodding his head.

"Well, this is about ready. Shall we wow them with the Levine culinary menu?" Lucas smiled, Adam smiling widely.

"Yes. And as chef I get to pick the dishwashers. A Welshman and a whale will do nicely."
Lucas laughed, smiling widely, picking up two platters.

Adam smiled at him, his eyes following the young man as he walked back out onto the patio.

Adam felt a feeling within his soul.

He smiled, carrying more platters outside.

Adam smiled, the compliments flowing, filling his heart with happiness.

"Thank you all. I just whipped it up." he said, Usher kissing his lips.

"He spent all afternoon in the kitchen. My man's a certified chef." the man smiled, Pierce kissing his lips next.

"He cooks in all rooms." he smiled, Adam smiling at his soulmates with deep love.

"Too much info!" Finn laughed, little Julian asleep in his lap.

Skyler kissed his cheek, little Diana asleep in her lap.

Adam smiled around at everyone holding their infants, Lucas smiling at him.

"The parents all look so contented and happy. I so want to have that someday." he said, Pierce kissing his lips.

"We all saw the sun room. Lucas' visions are never wrong." Justin smiled, Lucas smiling at him.

"My love is never wrong." he smiled, his three soulmates smiling at him.

"Will it be soon, Luke?" Usher said, Lucas smiling at him.

"Well, you three will have to go off the pill first." Lucas smiled, Finn laughing, others joining in.

Usher and Adam both blushed, Pierce smiling at his soulmates.

"We're already enquiring about in vitro-fertilization. We have some appointments next week." the young doctor said, Adam smiling at him.

"I want him to be our child, a combination of all three of us." Adam said, Lucas smiling at him.

"He will be, Adam. Your love needs to flow forward." Lucas said, Adam smiling at him.

"No one has a greater flowing love than you, Luke." Harry said, Lucas smiling at him.

"You all have an amazing love. Mine is just on a more destined path." Lucas said, Josh looking at him with love.

"The time draws near, Luke. If the last week is any sign of what's to come, the world may never be the same." Enrique said, Hemi's arm wrapped around him, the two seated with their soulmates.

Haras' eyes were on Colton, the young man seated between him and Jonathan.

"Dad's love will amaze everyone. Myself included." Colton smiled, Lucas smiling at him.

"When will the final confrontation take place, Luke? We'll understand if you need to be secretive." Nick said, his two soulmates on both sides of him.

The young man rose from his seat, his three soulmates quietly looking at him, Lucas walking to the end of the patio, looking at the large marble pool in the back of Adam's yard.

Lucas sighed, looking back at all his family and friends.

"I will return to Kurucu's Haven in three weeks. From there, it will be a short trip to the final plains of truth."

Colton rose from his seat, walking up to his young friend.

Lucas smiled at him, the young man going into his arms, Lucas holding him close.

"I feel the voices within the magic and within myself, Dad. The armies of God's might, I believe are ready." Colton said, everyone staring at him with surprise.

"You feel the angels?" Trish said with surprise, her daughter in her arms.

Alain rose from his seat, walking up to the two young men.

"You have the gift, the Auris est Angeli?!" Alain said with wonder, Lucas smiling at the black man.

"The magic flowing through myself and Colton is the one true magic, Alain. It flows from the true source of life. God's love." Lucas said, Colton quietly looking at him.

"No one, angel or man, has ever been known to have that gift, Lucas. Even the great holy seraphim of God's grace don't use it." Alain said, everyone looking at the black man.

"What is the Auris est Angeli?" Chris said, Alain looking at him, then around at everyone.

"It is a gift from God. Auris est Angeli translates to the Ear to the Angels. A gift that lets you communicate with angels. God is the only one who is known to have it." Alain said, staring at Colton.

"God has spoken to you!" Chris said, Piney slapping his arm.

"Alain's an angel, Chris. They are the servants of God. You can't dedicate your life to God's path without hearing what he requires of you." Piney said, Chris blushing.

"Sorry, Alain." he said, Alain smiling at him.

"It's alright, Chris. It's nice to know you treat me as just myself, not an angel." he smiled, Chris smiling at him.

"God communicates with all of us, his devoted servants. But we have never been known to communicate to each other. We all walk our paths of his devotion alone." Alain said, Lucas' hand going to his shoulder.

"You are never alone with his love in your heart." Lucas said, Alain smiling and nodding his head.

"Yes, Luke. My Lord walks with me. He's guided me to my Harry's love, to my Azrael's love." Alain said, his eyes meeting Harry's blue.

"I love you, Jibrail." Harry smiled, Alain smiling back.

His brown eyes turned back to Colton.

"I cannot believe you have that gift, Colton. To have it would be a sign of God's faith in you." Alain said, Lucas looking at Colton.

"I have faith in God's faith in me." Colton said, his voice entering Alain's mind alone.
The man stepped back in shock, staring at the young man.

Everyone stared at the two, all greeted by only silence.

Alain suddenly went to one knee before Colton, staring up at him, his eyes showing tears.

"I am your servant, Bowman. I shall follow you and Azrael." he said, Lucas smiling at the black man kneeling before Colton.

"You are our brother and friend, winged warrior. Friends walk at each other's side, their love strong." Lucas said, Alain regaining his feet.

"I heard your voice in my mind, Colton. I heard its greatness. You do have the holy gift. God has blessed you." the black man said, everyone looking surprised.

"We both have God's faith in us, Alain. And his love." Colton said, Lucas smiling at the black angel standing in front of him.

"I gave Colton this gift, Jibrail." Lucas said, the man looking surprised.

"You. . .you had the gift first?!" he said, Lucas nodding.

"It is part of the magic's soul, my friend. I was destined to carry it so that I could give it to Colton, for his destiny." Lucas said, Colton smiling at him.

"It's come in very handy, Alain. For the last month, I've been quietly communicating with Azrael. He has been guiding me for the path I must walk. I know the task that lays ahead for me. His guidance has trained me for what I must do. I only need now find the path forward." Colton said, Alain staring at him.

"You have talked with Azrael?" he said, Colton nodding.

"At night, when it's quiet and I am wrapped in my soulmates' love, we discuss the path and what's required of me. He has a giving soul, and a courageous heart. I sense he was at one time a giving, loving man. He radiates truth and love." Colton said, his four soulmates staring at him with love.

"You'll have to introduce me to him when this is all over." Lucas said, Colton smiling at him.

"I feel the love behind him, Dad. I take him as a friend."

Lucas nodded, everyone staring at the three men.

"You had this gift first, Luke? Did you use it?" Alain said, Lucas staring at him.

The young man sighed, turning his back on everyone again, Josh rising from his seat, walking up to the young man, his arm going around him.

"I felt the love in that sigh, my love. We all love you." he said, Lucas' violet pools meeting his blue.

"The strength of my love is in yours, my love. My rock." he said, Josh smiling, kissing his lips.

The two broke their kiss, staring into their loving souls.

Lucas turned back around, Alain staring at him.

"I only used it once. Or the magic only used it once. For it felt the love in my soul."

Alain looked confused, staring at Lucas.
"What angel did you talk to, Luke?" he said, Lucas walking up to him, his hand going to the young black man's shoulder.

"I talked to you, Jibrail. To the lost angel in search of love."

Alain looked confused, Harry rising from his seat, walking up to him, his arm going around him.

"I don't understand what you mean, Luke? We've talked often, about many things."

Lucas smiled, staring at the two young men standing before him.

"Do you remember the evening when you first showed your true selves to me, the night you both walked into the kitchen as walking images of yourselves? Your souls as spirits?"
The two men nodded, staring at Lucas.

"It was the night you sensed the truth of who I and Alain were." Harry said, Lucas staring at both.

"I already knew who both of you were, my brothers. The magic had already told me, and of what it did."
"What the magic did?" Alain said, staring at the young man.

"Yes, Alain. What the magic did for both of you. You have my love to thank for that, not the magic."

Both now looked confused, Lucas smiling at both.

"My love is unending, perhaps a spirit of endless life. The magic has always been drawn to it. To its truth."
"And what is that truth, Luke?" Alain said, Lucas sighing again.

"As I've already told you, I was sent on a path of my own past's discoveries. Back in time to meet Archer Belmont, and to create the forward path of my own existence. The birth of my two twin sons, Emmanuel and Azrael. My great-great-grandfather and you yourself Harry."
Both men nodded, staring at the young man.

"That voyage I went on was an opening path. I followed it back to that moment in time, to join with Archer to create that forward path. It was a path I had to see through to its end."
"What do you mean, my love?" Josh said, at his side again.

Lucas stared at Harry, the young man staring back at him with love.

"I always knew your life's path, Azrael. From your birth until your death in that tragic shipwreck. And I followed it after." Lucas said, Harry looking surprised, Alain's arm now around him.

"You. . .you always knew where I was?" he said, Lucas nodding.

"Yes, my son. From the moment of your creation and Emmanuel's, I loved both of you as my sons. A father's love knows no end." Lucas said, everyone staring at the young man with wonder.

"I was on that island, Azrael. The magic within myself was by your side, through all your life's path. I was there that day when you washed up on the shore of that deserted island. And I was there when your gallant winged warrior cared for you. I saw the love both of you saw in each other before either of you even sensed it. For the magic told me what was to come forward." Lucas said, his violet pools staring at Alain now.

"I was there that night you sat upon the boulder staring at the young man sleeping in front of you. I felt your soul and what it needed, Alain. I felt the loss within you. The beauty of your loving, giving youthful soul. You were a young man who passed unto death too early in life to find your true path. God made you an angel so that you could search the path ahead for what you needed. For his own devotion and for the truth your own soul needed. He guided you to that island as well, so that you could find the love you needed. I sat beside you that night, seeing the hope shining in your eyes. And then I used the gift. I talked to you in your mind, showing you the way you needed to go. Forward to Azrael's love." Lucas said, the young man lowering his eyes.

"You. . .you made us fall in love?" Harry said, Lucas' eyes raising, both men seeing the love and tearful friendship in his violet pools.

"No, Harry. I made Alain open his soul to you. And that opened your own soul. You both needed each other's love. A love for eternity. I could do no less for my own dead son." Lucas said, Alain and Harry sobbing.

"Oh, Lucas! The love you've given us!" Harry cried, enveloping the young man in his arms, Alain's arms around both.

Josh teared up, as did most around the patio.

Lucas sobbed against Harry's chest, Alain's arms around both.

"I wasn't there for you in life, Azrael. I wanted you to have an eternal happiness. Alain's love you needed. You both needed each other." Lucas said, the two young men gradually calming down.

"Thank you, Lucas. For making me see what I needed. You gave me his love. I'll have it forever." Alain said, wiping his brown eyes.

"Thank you, Father." Harry said, wiping his own eyes.

"I love you both, my sons from another life. My brothers from this life." Lucas smiled, the three smiling at each other.

"Dad's love is indeed unending." Colton said, Lucas smiling at him.

Lucas heard someone sobbing, looking towards the tables, Chris in Piney's arms, the man sobbing against his chest.

He saw a lot of other tearing eyes, people wiping them.

"Weeping walruses shed tears upon their whiskers. Their souls are the most loving."

Chris laughed, regaining control of his emotions.

"That was so romantic, so emotional. Your love is unending, Lucas." he said, Lucas smiling at him, Josh kissing his cheek.

"You keep amazing us, my love."

Lucas nodded, looking around at everyone.

"In three weeks the path crests, the destiny finds its truth. And then I'll have the life I need. I'll have all of you." he smiled, everyone rising from their seats.

"You have us always." Finn smiled, his blue eyes showing tears.

"No thanks, Finny. Too much hair." he said, Finn laughing, hugging his friend.

Alain stared at Colton, the young man staring back.

They talked in their minds, a greater truth coming through.

End of Chapter 223

And so the community of love settles in.

New homes filling with happiness.

And a family of friends join at Adam's to celebrate their new family love.

And Lucas reveals the truth of his wandering soul.

Back and forward through time, guiding love to its happiness.

Joining the angel Jibrail and his own lost son Azrael on that deserted island, their love eternal.

And Colton's been given a new gift from Lucas.

A direct line of communication to angels.

And it seems Colton is using it effectively.

What were he and Alain talking of at the end?

Is he telling Alain of some new truth?

The path continues, the end closing in.

Where that path takes us, I hope shall be a surprise.

Weeping walruses notwithstanding.

Hugs, Angel.
