The contact was for both Ted and Lyle most enjoyable.  Lyle was most
gratified that Ted was beginning to take the initiative.  Though Ted did
not fully comprehend what was happening, he was aware that his cock was
becoming semi-hard as it pressed against Lyle's member.  So to increase the
undeniably pleasurable sensation he experienced, he began to gently thrust
his loins against Lyle's.  The passionately kissing and embracing continued
on for several minutes virtually non-stop.  While Ted was humping Lyle, the
latter nonchalantly let his hands drift down Ted's lower back and below his
waist and began soothingly caressing Ted's buns with his palms and
fingertips.

Ted abruptly climbed off of Lyle.  A confused look was evident in Lyle's
eyes as a result of Ted's action.  Lyle felt more at ease once Ted has
repositioned both of them so that they were lying sideways in the center of
the bed and cuddling, with Lyle enveloped in Ted's gentle manly arms and
his back softly touching Lyle's cushiony chest.  The two relaxed like this,
greatly enjoying all of the snuggling until a little after 10:30 AM.

Ted especially enjoyed the feel of Lyle's baby soft skin.  The whole
intimate experience was very deeply moving for him; and, at the same time,
very liberating: it felt to him as if a window, long jammed shut, had
somehow miraculously been opened wide.  Lyle was a bit more tired than he
realized, and, at one point during the snuggling, he dozed off.

However, when Ted came back to the bedroom after a quick shower, Lyle was
wide awake and staring at his cousin intently.  Lyle was very much worried
about his cousin's reaction to what occurred between them, his reaction,
that is, once all involved with what they shared "sunk in".  At the same
time, he began to wonder about his cousin's sexuality: "Was Ted gay, as I
am?", Lyle began to ponder.

"Will you be staying for breakfast, Lyle?", Ted asked, very much smiling.

Lyle nodded yes, and, almost immediately, he was then handed one of Ted's
spare terry robes.

Lyle helped Ted in the kitchen.  Orange juice, omelettes, and bagels,
toasted, with cream cheese quickly sated the pair's hunger.  All the energy
burned up in the bedroom was once again refueled.  Lyle jokingly wondered
to himself if he would be serving as "dessert".  Both were seating in the
dining room on ivory floral-patterned fabric-upholstered padded chairs and
dined quietly, eyeing each other discreetly in between bites.  The loosely
tied white robes each wore were reminders to each other of the other's
hidden treasures.

Lyle knew that there were different sides to Ted.  The Ted of today was not
all that different from the Ted Lyle used to watch compete in high school
debate tournaments and the Ted that stood up against a bully that was
harassing Lyle during Ted's senior year.  The man had a serious side, an
intellectual side.  Once seated in the living room together and with no
food about as distraction, the two cousins briefly acknowledged to one
another that they had to come up with some type of plan for the future.
Lyle, a private man, was very much concerned about how their "thing", as
Ted was now calling it, would be handled.

"I don't really have the answers, Lyle, I wish I did, but right now I
don't.  Plus, it seems, that all of the excitement, all the novelty of
this, has gone to my head."

Lyle began to rise from the recliner he was now on and remarked: "Well, I
really should go.  I mean you need time, we both need time
to...uhm...think."

"Perhaps you are right.  But before you go, there is something that I must
ask.", Ted said sternly.

"Yes, please, go on, ask anything, ask away.", Lyle replied, dreading a bit
what was to come.

"Very well, well, here it is: So, tell me...uhm...Lyle, dear cousin, are
you...are you...ehr...gay?"

Lyle then stared at Ted and Ted then stared at Lyle; and suddenly Ted could
not keep up his mock-serious tone and broke up and began to laugh; and
within seconds of that, both were laughing uncontrollably and were gripping
their sides so as not to keel over in their hysteria or burst their guts
laughing.

Lyle very warmly hugged Ted, and, in doing so, his robe became unfastened
and his "family jewels" displayed.  The two felt a little overwhelmed by
all that was happening; yet Lyle, to his relief, was now seeing that,
though it was not going to be easy, somehow everything was going to be all
right.

"I love you, Ted, you make me very happy, you make me feel more alive
inside than words could ever express."

"I love you, too, Lyle, I truly do.".  As Ted heard himself saying these
words of love expressed to Lyle, this suddenly occurred to him: that his
beloved Lily would want him to be happy, to have love in his life once
again.
