I know I promised porn but it just didn't work out that way. But have no fear. Chapter 3 is near. Matt rolled over and reached out across the bed for his lover. After the wild night they had with a few friends after Joe's wedding, he looked forward to cuddling with Jim and sleeping in until checkout. He felt the empty space next to him and slowly peeled one eye open. Lifting his hand to shield his eyes from the sunlight streaming through the windows, he stilled listening for any movement throughout the suite. Throwing back the covers Matt stumbled to the bathroom knocked once and entered. The floor was cold and littered with dirty towels and washcloths. He grabbed his robe of the door hook and walked to the living area. He looked around baffled. Everyone was gone including Jim. Smiling he raced towards the bathroom and turned on the shower. "The bums are having breakfast without me", he thought. Quickly showering and grooming himself he pulled on a pair of faded jeans and a clean white t-shirt. He sat on the bed and fumbled with his socks and sneakers. Within minutes he was in the lobby heading for the restaurant. He stood in silence surveying the area. None of his friends were there. He was about to turn and leave when a familiar voice called out to him. "Matt wait up." Matt spun around to see his younger brother Andy crossing the lobby with a cute blonde in tow. The other boy looked familiar but he couldn't quite put his finger on where he knew him. Matt wanted to find Jim, Will and the others but didn't want to be rude to his brother. After all he wasn't allowed to stay and play with them last night. "Hey Andy", Matt replied, offering him a smile. "Hi. Were you going to breakfast? We were trying to catch you guys to join you." Matt looked at his beautiful baby brother getting trapped in his brown eyes. He closed his eyes for a minute to focus. It was no time for stray thoughts about his sibling. "Yeah. But I don't know where the guys went. So I guess it's just us." Matt looked towards Andy's friend waiting for an introduction. "Oh. Sorry. Matt this is David. David this is Matt my brother." The blonde smiled and offered his hand. "Nice to meet you. I'm a big fan." "Thanks. You look familiar. Have we met before?" "David plays Simon Camden on Seventh Heaven", Andy beamed. "Aw man I'm so sorry. I thought I recognized you. I watch your show every chance I get", Matt apologized. "Hey man it's alright. I met Lance Bass last week on a flight to London. Sat right next to him in first class and couldn't for the life of me remember who he was." "So are we going to eat?" Andy interjected. "Sure. Let's eat." Matt turned to lead the two boys into the restaurant when once again someone called his name. A foolish grin broke out across his face when he recognized the voice as belonging to Jim. "Hey you two get a table for four. We'll be right in." Andy eyed his brother suspiciously but didn't say anything. He led David into the restaurant and called back over his shoulder. "Don't take too long." Matt shook his head and walked over towards Jim. Stopping short of kissing him in a lobby full of people he took his hand and led him to a secluded area of chairs in the lobby. "What happened to you this morning? I reached over for you and you weren't there." "I'm sorry. But I didn't want to be there when everyone woke up." Jim looked down at the floor refusing to meet Matt's gaze. "Jim. Is this about last night? We thought you'd enjoy it. We didn't mean to..." Jim looked up and found fear in the brown eyes that watched him intently. "No it wasn't that", he said shaking his head. "It's just that last night we all had too much to drink. It was nice being the center of attention but I figured once everyone sobered up they'd realize what a mistake they made. That you...they wouldn't want me anymore." "Hey, listen to me." Matt traced a hand over his lover's jaw line. " We wanted you because you're beautiful and desirable. You flirted with us all through the reception. And you gave us a hard time when we tried to put you to bed. We all wanted you. I wanted you." Jim looked up and searched Matt's eyes. He nearly broke down when he saw the love and concern written all over Matt's face. " Why would you want me? I'm nobody. You meet beautiful men everyday. You work with them. I see how they look at you. Your friends only wanted me because you were there. You only let me fuck you because Joe was there. When we first met you didn't even want me to touch you." "Jim", Matt whispered moving closer to him. "I was scared when we first met. Joe had been my only lover up until then. You were so aggressive. I can hardly believe this is you talking right now. What happened?" "Joe and I hit it off from the first time we met. We made love in my office during our first meeting. He was so sure of himself. He was always confident with his looks and his body. I tried hard to be like him. Together we shared many lovers. But it was all him. That's not who I really am. But people who know me expect me to be that way so I just act how the expect." Matt cupped Jim's chin not caring who may or may not see them. "You don't have to pretend with me. I kind of like the real Jim." Leaning in he captured Jim's mouth in a sweet kiss. He stood pulling Jim up with him. "Let's have breakfast and go back to our room and talk." The two walked to the dining room and found Andy and David. Matt observed how close the two sat together and how they seemed not to notice anyone but each other. He smiled knowing that his brother had found someone he loved. He beamed when he looked over at Jim and realized he'd found the same thing too.
