Subject: Noah's Starship Ch. 21 [If I can't find the cure, I'll fix you with my love And if you say you're okay, I'm gonna heal you anyway Promise I'll always be there, Promise I'll be the cure -Lady Gaga] +{Noah's Starship}+ -+-[Ch. 21]-+- ~By Emri~ +++ "It wasn't the right time. Soon, my love. I promise," Navid said as he hung up with his parents. I'd perched on a high stool at the kitchen bar watching him the whole time. I don't know Persian, but I understood the happy banter as he paced back and forth looking for an opener. But there had been no tension in their words, no revelation. He hadn't told them. This had been going on for a few weeks. He kept trying to find the right time. "You really don't have to do it. You don't have to tell them about us, it's ok. What if they hate us? What if they never want to accept me? What if they blame me for it like I brainwashed you? What if I ruin your family for you and they never want to talk to you again?" I felt my leg shaking as I spoke. "Baby love," Navid said and looked at me with sad eyes. He came towards me and wrapped his arms around my chest to pull me into him. "This is not your doing, my sweet one. You are the most important person in my life and it is time that they knew this," he assured. He buried his nose into my shoulder and kissed my chest as he leaned over me. "I hate this, Navee. I wish things could be easier. It's so awkward to talk to your dad as if everything is fine. He helped me review for my final last night and then I listened to him talk about the new research he's doing." I sighed. I'd spent a lot of time this semester getting help from his dad over the facechat on the computer. Mr. Naseri opened up to me about a lot of things. His children were growing up and losing touch with him, no longer needing his help or advice. We talked about anything and everything. He said he liked practicing his English with me, but in reality his was better than Navid's. He'd spent most of his teen years outside of London and held degrees from British schools. Like his son, he was brilliant, analytical, handsome, and charming. But now with the impending revelation hanging over things, our chats were a little more awkward. He'd noticed. He asked what was worrying me. I could talk to him about anything, but never that. The true nature of my relationship with Navid wasn't mine to disclose. I pretended to be having an argument with Erik about stuff. He'd told me to forgive him, to always be the one to make peace. He said life was shorter than we realize and best friends are life's true gold. "I know, Noah. I know... It will be done soon. I can't have you worry for this. My father can never be angry with you no matter what. Believe to me when I say this, Noah. My parents will blame me. I am the one who takes your innocence. They know you are too sweet to be the guilt in this. If they become upset, it will direct it for me," Navid assured and kissed my forehead. "I took yours too," I said and pushed my lips against his neck. He just laughed. He'd never accept that. His parents only saw me as the naive innocent because that's how Navid portrayed me. I really did feel like his child sometimes. +++ "It is done," Navid said when he got home from work the next day. I'd made dinner for us since he had been stuck in traffic. I guess he had called them on the way home as he inched along. "What? What happened? What did they say? Tell me everything!" I demanded and jumped off the couch where I'd been napping in a pair of shorts and tank top. It was warming up to summer in the San Fernando Valley. We'd had more hot days than cool. I hate this transition, but it meant the semester was nearly over. "Is very confusing. I don't think they believe me. There were no tears or yells. It was like I tell a joke that is not funny and everyone just sit quietly." Navid said with a sigh. He set down his work bag and hung his jacket over a dining table chair. He loosened his tie and unbuttoned the first few on his white dress shirt. His toned brown chest sprinkled with black hair came into view. I got weak, needing to touch him, but this wasn't the moment for that. "What did you tell them?" I asked as I paced around him like a shark. I knew he wouldn't say that he was gay. He didn't consider himself gay. To his culture, homosexuality meant much more than just two men who loved each other. It was considered a disorder, something that needed to be dealt with strongly. There were many layers of cultural and religious pressure on him, layers I hadn't grown up with and didn't understand fully. On top of that, in Navid's native culture, to be homosexual meant that you were the man who received the other man inside you, the bottom. The one who "seeded" was just doing what men do in their eyes; getting as much action as possible. This went way beyond the idea of two souls in love who happened to be male. As much as Navid had adapted to my culture and knew that those stereotypes didn't exist here, it was still hard for him to consider himself "gay." I was slowly making progress with him, but we still had a long ways to go. It seemed odd to have to "come-out" in a gay relationship. Navid had come a long way, but he still had to deal with a deeply traditional culture that held a huge stick of shame over his head. "I tell them truth, princess. I say that I feel for you like I would feel my wife. I say I want to marry with you and is legal in this country. I tell them you feel same for me, we want to spend our life with together and raise a family. I tell them I love you more than any, that you are my heart." Navid said. His eyes looked a little red, but I knew he would hold back the tears. "Well that is... um... pretty clear I guess? And they didn't understand it?" I asked. I pushed into his arms as he fished his wallet and keys out of his pocket and tossed them into the bowl on the coffee table. He took off his tie and slipped it around my neck. He liked seeing me in his things. "I guess it is not so clear. They say it is very nice to have someone to care for and love. They say they know you are very good boy for me and I take care of you as my own child... then they change topic. My mother then says about a girl she met who will be perfect for me and want to study here in America. Is like they don't hear what I say at all!" Navid stripped off his shirt and set it on the chair. He stepped out of his black leather shoes. "So... wow... I... What does that mean? Do they do that sometimes?" I asked and put my hand on his chest. He leaned down and kissed my cheek and shook his head. "If only I know what they think. I do not know this, my love. All I know if they know now. We will move ahead with our plans. You will be mine. I will be yours. They will know this," Navid sighed. "Will we invite them? Do you think they will come?" I asked, still not getting it. "I do not know, my love. Please. I tell you what I know. I have headache and heartache. I need my boy," Navid said and pushed back my hair. He leaned down and kissed me. "Ok... sorry. I just... I'm supposed to study with your dad tonight. He is helping me review. Should I still call him? Will he even answer me?" I prodded more. "Of course, my heart. He love to work with you on the study. He even says this when I talk to them today. He says you make so much progress and he is happy to see you grow. You are our little flower and we all want you to blossom," Navid put his hand on my back. "I don't know how to act now. I never dealt with a parent not approving. My dad came out for me. He just knew. He's always been there no matter what I had to tell him. What do I say to him when we talk?" I asked. I reached for his belt and unhooked the clasp. His fingers met mine and he closed my hands in his palms. He brought our hands up to his chest and he looked down at me. "You be yourself. You are perfect as you are. I did not do this so you will hide. If I even think he will be unkind to you I will not let you call him. You are most important soul in my life. Your heart is my treasure. Let him bring thing up if he wants, ok? Don't talk about sex or anything for dirty," Navid said as if I would bring up lewd conversation with his father. We laughed together at that. "Um yeah. Like I normally say things like that to your dad! `Hey Mr. Naseri, your son fucked me so hard this morning that I'm kinda sore so that's why I squirm when I sit.' For reals!" I laughed. Navid let go of my hand and undid his pants. "I know, my princess. You are a good boy. You would never think of doing that. You are clean and pure. You just be yourself with him. My father love you so much. I can tell in his voice he already knows how I feel for you. He seem like he want to say more but can not in front of my mother. I don't know for sure. They just act like I am telling them unimportant news like they do not believe this is accurate." Navid stepped out of his pants and hung them on the chair. He stood in front of me in gray, sheer dress socks that went almost up to his knees and a pair of white mesh briefs that showed his brown skin and dark cock. He looked like one of those guys from a weird fetish video. He collected his clothes and took them upstairs. I grabbed his shoes and followed him, watching his muscled ass bounce on the stairs. "It's going to so be awkward talking to him. I'm nervous, Navee... He's supposed to help me with my final review tonight. Seriously... What if he yells at me?" I asked again nervously. "He will never yell at you. This you may not believe, but this matter is between me and my parents. My father may think I influence you for evil. Maybe he try to rescue you," Navid laughed. He peeled off his socks and laid down on the bed to check his phone. I crawled up the bed to snuggle into his chest. He held me against his heartbeat and stroked me as I played with his left nipple. "Did you sell enough lamps today?" I asked as I reached down to stroke his bulge. Back before I understood what he did for work, I would joke that he sold magic lamps because his business logo had this spotlight on the name. I later thought that maybe that seemed racist since he's middle eastern but he always laughs. He puts my hand on his cock and tells me if I rub it he'll grant any wish I have. "I actually closed on three properties! I make a nice bonus for my boy to enjoy!" Navid beamed proudly. "That deserves a kiss for my genie!" He put his hand on my head and pushed me down to suck his cock. "I hope I get my wish," I said and opened wide to give him what he needed. +++ After dinner I had the appointment with his dad online. I had a final coming up and he was going to help me review. I couldn't eat much at dinner. My stomach felt all fluttery but Navid insisted that I needed the help and his father enjoyed teaching me. "Hi... Mr. Naseri! How's it going?" I asked and felt the shaking in my voice. He had on reading glasses and looked adorable. Navid definitely had a hunky future to look forward to. "Noah! I am good! It is always a happy time when I get to talk with you. We have much to review today. Are you prepared? Did you read the study notes from your professor? They looked very straightforward to me. I think you will do well but we must get to work." He was all business tonight. "Yes... sir... I have them here. I did. I read them." I fumbled with my papers. "Good, Good. How is my son treating you? He has been too busy with work. I told him to make more time for you. You need a good father." Mr. Naseri stared me down with the same intense eyes his son used to melt my willpower. Those eyes always made me feel so blessed to bask in his spotlight "Great yeah he's um. Great. He is a good... man. Let's get going on the review?" I asked. "Good. Eager boy!" Mr. Naseri started to plow through the material but every ten minutes or so we got distracted talking about other things. I heard about some new restaurant that opened in his neighborhood and he asked how the wildfire season was looking in California. We talked about politics though I hadn't really kept up with things. We never got to the topic of my engagement to Navid though. I kept wanting to ask him, affirm to him that I wanted to be his son's partner for the rest of my life. I wanted to tell him how nice it would be if they came for the wedding. I wanted to talk about where we might have it and how many people we would invite. I wanted to tell him our idea for serving Iranian and Californian food. I wanted to tell him that we both like blue for the wedding theme colors, but that I prefer midnight blue with silver accents while Navid wanted light blue and gold. There was so much I wanted to say about it, and I wanted him to hear it... to be excited... to be there. We didn't even have a date set, but every time I pictured it I knew I wanted Navid's parents there. But we didn't. We talked about stupid things like restaurants, wildfires, and the president. It felt like a let down, a waste of our time together. I wanted him to be happy for us or angry for us or even yell at me; something to pop the zit of secrecy. We finished our review though and he smiled and told me how proud he was of everything I'd learned this semester. He said I would do well and to just keep reading over things. He said he loved me, couldn't wait to see me again, and hoped his lazy son was treating me like I deserved. I told him I loved him too and echoed his sentiments. I told him I hoped Navid would grow to be just like him when he was older. "You complete your studies?" Navid asked when I closed the computer and went to brush my teeth. He was lying on our bed in a small pair of shorts and checking emails. The shorts were loose and had pushed up his thigh enough to where I could see his thick cock sleeping lazily against the comforter. "Uh huh," I nodded as I stared at his club. He followed my gaze and then laughed, but didn't bother adjusting himself. It was just us. "Everything is ok with my dad?" Navid asked. He reached for his cock and gave it a rub to show me what I was missing in my time away from our bed. "He's ok. He helped me a lot, but... It's so awkward. He acted like nothing weird happened! I kept wanting to talk about it," I told him. I went to the bedside and Navid pulled me down next to him. He put his computer to the side and pulled me in under his arm. "I know, princess. Someday. Just give them time. Let them process this thing. My father take his time and my mother does too. She will bring it to his attention when she is ready. He will wait for her signal. They will talk it over. Give them time," Navid assured and kissed my hair. "Are you sure you told them? He really acted like everything was normal." I rubbed his chest. "I did, my love. Is like I tell you. They will discuss with me before they do with you. He will think this is only me. He think you are too innocent to understand what happens here. For sure he is upset with me for doing this to you," Navid explained as he rubbed my back. "How can they think that? I'm the one from the permissive culture, evil California," I laughed. "They see these innocent eyes that make me melt. They know your heart is good. They know you are not wayward boy from bad home as I told them long ago. They figure out quickly that it was my cover story and now they know why I lied to them," Navid said though I wasn't sure what kind of explanation that was. I was too tired to go on though. +++ "Is surprise, Noah! I can no tell you and then is not surprise if I do, yes?" Navid said as he got on the freeway. I didn't have any classes on Friday and I'd studied all I could for my finals. I was burned out and anxious from the situation with his father. I still wasn't sure where we stood. "As long as it's out of the valley! Oh my god look at your dash! A hundred and six outside!" I pointed at the little digital thermometer on his speed gauge as he zoomed down the 101 (One-oh-one). The city was melting around us and fires were burning in the hills east of LA. "You will see. We need a day to relax and just be us. No family, no studies, just a little business, but it will be fun for my boy," Navid said as he squeezed my knee. He'd told me to put on my blue swimsuit with little white anchors and a white tank top with flip flops. He had on a small pair of green shorts and a red tank top. We must have been heading to the beach. I watched the thermometer change as we went up and through the Sepulveda pass. On the downside where the 405 (four-oh-five) winds through the hills and opens up to see the endless concrete of Los Angeles, the thermometer started to drop from 106 to 101, 99 then an abrupt drop to 90 passing Sunset. In a span of ten minutes it dropped a full 30 degrees from 106 to 76. LA's microclimates are brutal. You get to the coast and it's half the heat but twice the housing price. "I love you here with me. I can use carpool lane," Navid said as we whizzed by the stalled traffic. He'd packed a bag for us and we'd put cold bottles of water and the beer he liked in a cooler. "Wait! We can't be going to the beach. You brought beer," I noted. Glass bottles were against the law, not that Navid paid attention to that. Persians are rule breakers. "We will have to see, princess," Navid said. He got a business call then so I went quiet while he talked about some warehouse on some street I'd never heard of. I watched the city roll by as we made our way down into the South Bay and then past the Goodyear Blimp in Carson. We finally got off the freeway and followed a wide boulevard down to the marina area. We went through a park and then over a little bridge spanning a canal lined with nice houses. "Where are we?" I asked when Navid pulled up in front of a house. He wedged his car into a tiny spot and then turned the car off. "You do not remember this? We come here on one of our first dates. You forget my love gesture! Remember the boat? The fireworks? The necklace I give you?" he asked with astonishment. I remembered back to that day when we crammed onto a small boat with his friends and went out in the harbor to eat dinner and watch fireworks. "Long Beach! Yep. I remember now. You played with me on your lap and everyone watched," I laughed and thought back to that day. "Well yes, but more important it was just down this street. A client has house here for his vacation while I find him places to buy. He invites us to come for barbecue. I think is good for you get out of heat and take happy day with me," Navid said and reached for our bag and the small cooler in the backseat. He got out and came around to open my door. I stepped out onto the curb and followed him up to a beautiful blue beach house. "Navid!" An older white guy in good shape with greying brown hair said when he opened the door. "Oh and this must be your boy. Oh he is just what I pictured you'd have." He smiled and offered me his hand. I shook it and Navid made our greetings and I found out the man's name was Joseph. The man waved us inside and I saw Karim and Mike behind him with drinks in their hands as pop music played through the house. "Boys are here!" Karim said and came to lift me up into a hug. It had been a while since I'd seen him. He was keeping up his workouts and easily held me in a hug. "And this is my boyfriend Luis," The man said with a hint of a New York accent. He was introducing him to Navid, but I got a look at him after hugging Mike. Luis looked model perfect; thin but toned with a handsome face. He could have been hispanic, maybe mixed with asian as well. He was early 20's with a flop of black hair on top of his head with the sides shaved down. He had perfect sun-kissed skin and large green eyes with long lashes. He wasn't just beautiful, he was striking; that look you just can't turn away from. He had a small white button-up shirt unbuttoned halfway to show his smooth, perfect chest. Below that he had small blue preppy shorts and crisp white deck shoes. He looked about 20 years younger than Joseph. I judged which one of them must have made the money, but then thought that was tacky to think about. I wondered if people thought that when they saw me with Navid. Did they think I was never capable of ever supporting us? Luis stared me down for a minute. I wondered how he judged me in my swim trunks and tank top. Flip flops! I'd worn flip flops. I immediately cursed myself for not picking better shoes. Something about Luis made me feel inferior, and not in the acceptable way I felt around the middle eastern men. After a pause, he extended a hand to me but not a smile. He offered to show me the room where we could set down our things. We followed him upstairs since Navid was carrying our day bag. He took us to a room that overlooked a small backyard sandwiched between the house and the canal. They were on the end of a canal so the property went right up to the water. There was a small square pool and patio between the two. "Wow this is beautiful! It's so perfect here and private," I said and then quickly closed my mouth. Luis looked at me with eyes that said he was over this place and probably used to the beautiful surroundings. "It's all right. Our place in the Hamptons is more private, plus we keep our boat there. I've never really cared for California," Luis yawned. I didn't know where the Hamptons were, but I wasn't about to look more idiotic than I already had by drooling over their beach rental. "We can set things down in here?" Navid asked, oblivious to Luis' insult to our state. He pushed between us and set the bag on the bed. "Yees Joo kahn, beautiful man," Luis made fun of his accent, but in a playful, flirty way. He looked at Navid like newfound prey. I immediately knew I was going to hate this guy. Navid just laughed and gave him a wink. He was in business mode and turned on the charm. "Nah-veeed," Luis stretched out his name like it was exotic. "There's beer downstairs if you want to look through it. Joseph got a big selection and I know he wants to get your business out of the way before the fun. Don't worry though, I'll keep Noah company!" He tried to sound harmless. Navid seemed to buy it and headed out with a kiss to my cheek. "He is fucking gorgeous! Are you two married yet? Lock that one down fast." Luis said to me when Navid left. "Thanks, I try to keep him maintained... change the oil every now and then," I joked like I had anything to do with Navid's look. "Oh I bet you do. I'd be bouncing on that lap every chance I got," Luis said and stared at the doorway like Navid was still there. I smiled to myself. He was being gross, but at least I knew he wanted something I had. "Your guy Joseph seems nice too," I offered, unsure of how to respond. "Settle down, horndog, he's nice enough. He pays the bills, doesn't bother me too much," Luis smiled like we had some inside joke. It seemed like he thought of himself as a prized poodle. "So you get to travel with him when he goes on business? That's sweet. I went to Dallas with Navid. It was fun, but I can't go far since I'm in school," I said. "Travel is his business. He buys places and checks on investments for a firm in Manhattan. I don't like leaving New York unless we're going international, but he made me come this time. You go to school? Why waste time on that? What's the point of dating a worker bee if you still have to find your own honey?" Luis asked. "Well I want to have a career someday, maybe be writer and help out with the bills. Navid's just getting started in this business, but he's doing really well!" I beamed proudly. I had a very hardworking boyfriend... fiancee. "If Joe ever asked me to work, I'd take half his assets and find my freedom." Luis held up a hand with a gold band on his ring finger. They'd gotten married. "Well Navid doesn't want me to, but... I have my own goals. Let's head downstairs," I said and turned towards the doorway. "They're getting the business out of the way before we start the food. Are you going to change? Or just walk around in a swimsuit all day?" Luis asked and looked at our bag on the bed. "Oh um. I don't know. Navid packed. I have to see what he brought. Knowing him my change of clothes is something that is too big and covers too much." I laughed, Luis didn't. "Well if you need to borrow something, I think we're similar sizes..." Luis said. It sounded halfway nice. Maybe he wasn't all bad. I thanked him and we headed down to check on things. The guys were still on business. Karim was on one side of Joseph while Navid was on the other and doing his best to work out a deal. He had folders, pictures, documents. Navid was in full salesman mode. "Well, looks good. I think we can do it," Joseph said "Daddy, I'm bored," Luis said in an exaggerated kid voice. "Just a minute, Kitten, almost done here. Go show Noah the pool," he said to Luis in a soft, sappy voice. It was a bit much. "Hurry. Pwease, Daddy." Luis widened his eyes and used the most annoying little baby voice. "Don't get inside until I go out there!" Navid cautioned as he spun around to look at me. "Noah is not good swimmer, my little rock sinks," he told the other guys and they laughed. "I can swim!" I protested. I didn't like the same baby tone Joseph was using with Luis coming out of Navid's mouth. Were we as bad as them? I knew it annoyed Erik when we got like that. It sounded gross coming from another couple, especially given their age difference. "I know you can, but I want you wait for me. We are in wrap up of business, my heart. I will be out when finish. Be good boy and wait please," Navid was being extra protective, mirroring how Joseph talked to Luis. "C'mon Noah. Let's go before the daddies get angry and punish us," Luis joked and pulled me out to the back patio. The way he said daddies made my stomach turn. I would have to really think about the way I sounded with Navid. It always bothers people when they see their annoying habits in others. Mike was outside and laying out in a lounger with big sunglasses and a drink with an umbrella. I knew it didn't have any alcohol in it. Mike was a strictly sober guy. He nodded when he saw us but went back to playing with his phone. "There's towels there, grab one. We can lay out while we wait. Take your shirt off," Luis said and started to unbutton his shirt. He grabbed a towel and spread it out over the lounger. I knew Navid wouldn't want me in the sun, but there was one in the shade next to Luis so I staked out there. "Damn boy. You've got a tight little body. That waist is so tiny. I wonder where Navid puts it when he stuffs you," Luis laughed. Mike looked up from his lounger with interest as I blushed. "Oh um," I didn't know what to say. Luis made me beyond uncomfortable. "Kinda scrawny though. I guess it works for you right now, but you should tone up a little," Luis suggested. The way he looked at me made me feel like garbage. "Um... Yeah I guess so," I had no real response. . "Just an observation." Luis shrugged then added, "If you're going to date a guy like that, you have to step it up, maybe not dress like a garage sale." "Noah, did you get the sunscreen? You know how Navid will get if you burn," Mike stepped in to rescue me. Luis was getting to me with his comments. "Oh we have some! I'll rub it on you though I'd rather rub it on your man. Maybe he'll need some on his cock. It might get him warmed up for you," Luis said with a laugh. I felt the anger grow in my chest. Luis was insistent on saying the most disgusting thing he could think of. "No, it's prescription stuff, right Noah? He has super sensitive skin," Mike countered. "Right! It must be in the bag Navid packed! I'll be right back," I said and got the hell out of there. I crept back through the house and heard Navid going on about a property. I went quietly past them and then up the stairs. I found the sunblock in the bag. It was the expensive stuff Navid found online that was rated highest by consumer magazine. He paid extra for it since he knows I burn very easily. It was packed alongside a change of clothes, some towels, the granola bars I love, his old t-shirt that I like to sleep in or hold while I napped, and the little pillow I usually took when we traveled. He had packed all the comforts I could need. Navid was always so thoughtful with me. I stopped for a minute to sigh at how sweet he was. I put the bottle of sunblock on the bed and went back down to hear them still conducting business. I waited on the last step and looked around the beach-themed house. I wondered if Navid and I would ever have a house this big. We would have to if we were going to have kids. Our little townhouse would hold one child, but we'd want more than one. Usually Navid talked about a bunch of kids, like four or five. He would keep me at home for a long time. I decided to stop being weak and go back out with Luis and Mike. I didn't need to hide behind Navid every time I found an uncomfortable situation. That was a dumb thing to do. I needed to just tell Luis that his comments made me uncomfortable. I went back out and saw that Mike had gone in. It was either to refill his drink or escape Luis, though Luis seemed to pay him no attention. I guess Mike and Karim were out of his interest. Luis was laying out in the full sun looking like a swimsuit model. His chest glowed with a glittery sheen like he was from that Twilight movie. He did seem like a bloodsucker. "Did you find your special albino medical cream?" he asked when he looked up to see me coming. "Yeah, Navid packed it. He is good at remembering what we need," I said and tried to smile. "I bet he's good at a lot of things," Luis smiled back. I sat next to him. "He's a good man. We've been together almost two years," I noted. "He's gorgeous. I'd wouldn't say no to him painting my face like a toaster strudel." Luis laughed. "Eww. Don't be gross," I laughed uncomfortably. "You know Noah... You really need to work out a little more. You're so thin. It's cute now, but you're aging so pretty soon lanky won't be so becoming. If Navid's taking off in business, you don't want him looking for a younger model," Luis suggested in a condescending tone. "I run. I like running and yoga. Navid does weights, he's bulked enough for the two of us. He likes me small enough to lift," I tried to make a joke. Luis didn't laugh. I hated him. "I'm just saying, if you're going to keep a man like that, you really need to do more. You won't be a kid forever. I mean you're not totally ugly or whatever, but Navid is a hunk. You gotta step it up," Luis said. Something about it had me reach my limit. It was his tone, his little laugh, his pulling down his sunglasses to appraise me with distaste. "You're kind of a jerk. You know that?" I heard myself say. "Don't be a little bitch, Noah. I was being helpful. You're welcome," Luis countered. "I'm not the bitch. And who prefers New York to California? Look around you! It's beautiful here. You're an idiot if you think this isn't perfection," I said and got to my feet. "Oh-M-Gee you're way too sensitive. I really don't get what he sees in you. Good luck holding onto him for long," Luis said and turned to look at his phone like I no longer interested him. I felt myself shaking. I'm not good at arguing. I hate fighting. I wanted out of there. I grabbed my bottle of sunblock and got up to head inside. "Good, go be a little bitch somewhere else," Luis said and laid back down on his lounger. He pulled his sunglasses down and looked away. I felt my heartbeat pounding in my head as I walked back to the house. Navid was finished with his business and they were just getting up from the dining table. "Thank you so much. I know you will be very happy. These are good investments," he said as he turned towards me. I just looked at him and it dawned on me that I was jeopardizing his business. I instantly regretted snapping at Luis. "What's wrong, my love?" Navid asked, instantly sensing my mood. "Nothing... are you finished? I'm uncomfortable here. Can we go home?" I asked. "Home? Noah, they invite us for barbecue and we can swim now. Oh you found the sunblock. Good. Let's head out and I'll put some on you," Navid said and put his hand on my shoulder. "I want to go home... please take me home," I whispered. "Are you sick? Something hurts?" Navid whispered back to me. "No, I just hate it here and I want to go. I got in an argument with Luis. He's mean," I confided. "Noah don't be rude to him. We are guests here. You will be on good behavior as I know you can do. We enjoy the day. Come!" Navid put his hand on my shoulder and guided me back towards the door to the back patio. He ignored my anger. He didn't care. Luis didn't look up when we came out. He ignored me as Navid went to the lounger in the shade where I'd been sitting. I saw I'd left my tank top there. Navid peeled off his shirt and stretched his arms up over his head. It made his shorts slip down a little and Luis turned to check him out. I saw him lick his lips as Navid bent over to touch his toes. Navid really was a work of art. "Hand me sunblock so I rub you down. I don't want that you burn," Navid said to me and extended his hand. Karim and Mike came out behind me then Joseph. They had been talking and didn't pick up on our argument. I walked to Navid and gave him the bottle. I looked at him with pleading eyes. "Please, Navee. I just want to go," I said in a low voice. "Noah," Navid said and drew me in for a hug. He whispered into my ear, "baby don't do this. We have fun day here. Don't make problems. Why you want to cause trouble?" "When you finish with him, can you rub me down too? I'm burning," Luis said from behind Navid. "I think you have Joseph for this," Navid said with a laugh. In his beliefs, it was wrong to touch another man's partner. He'd never let some other guy rub me. "Luis can handle it himself. He just likes attention," Joseph said and went to fire up the grill. "I guess no one wants to touch you," I said to Luis with a smirk. "Noah! This is not nice. You apologize. I don't know what makes you be rude. My boy is not rude like this," Navid used a tone with me that I hadn't heard before. He wasn't taking my side. "Yes Noah. You really should behave better in public. You're an embarrassment," Luis smirked back at me. "Seriously? Me apologize? How can you take his side and not even listen to me? No way! He's mean... and nasty... and bitter..." I started to say, but Navid cut me off. He put his hands on my shoulder and leaned into me. "Noah. I never hear you talk like this. You shall apologize to him. Is not who you are. You are sweet boy who never fights," Navid whispered so they wouldn't hear him. He looked at me with such condescension. It was like a father berating his child for being bad. I wasn't being bad. I shook my head and backed away from him. He wasn't even trying to understand me. More than any rude thing Luis had said... Navid's lack of support cut me deeper. It's like he didn't even care to listen to me. He'd already made up his mind. I backed away from him and shook my head slowly as my eyes narrowed in on his waist. I could see Luis behind him checking out Navid's ass as Navid leaned forward to look at me. I'm sure his shorts were slipping again. All the workouts he'd done lately had his torso in a perfect V shape so his clothes were fitting a little too loose. "How can you do this? You want to control every little moment of my life, but when I actually need you to support me, you don't," I whispered back to him. "Noah is not about that. We are guests here and my boy does not behave like this." Navid was growing frustrated that I didn't easily acquiesce to his demands. "Well when someone is rude to me, I stand up for myself. So if that's not the kind of boy you want then... then maybe that's not me," I said and felt the shaking in my voice. "Is Luis causing trouble?" Joseph interrupted when he came back with a tray of meat. "Noah is upset. I think the boys have a little argument," Navid said. "Luis! What did you say to him?" Joseph turned angrily to his partner. "Nothing! He's a total baby who can't handle a joke," Luis protested. "I'm sorry, Noah. He goes over the line of good taste sometimes," Joseph said to me. He looked embarrassed by Luis' behavior. His cheeks turned red and anger glowed in his eyes. "It's ok. I... might have been a little too sensitive," I tried to play it off. I felt bad for Joseph. Joseph turned back to Luis and said, "You're already on probation with me. This was a chance to show a little maturity and help me out here. You always do this when you're around a guy that threatens your spotlight. You hurt his feelings, Luis. I thought you were finally ready to show a modicum of maturity." Joseph indicated that this was an ongoing issue. "Noah's just overly sensitive. I was trying to give him advice and he took it wrong and threw a tantrum like a little bitch. I was perfectly nice," Luis cowered. His eyes flared and he knew Joseph wasn't buying this. He looked scared. Joseph just shook his head. "You already cost me one account doing the same thing in New York," Joseph said. He turned to Navid and continued, "I had a client with a good deal worked out, and he had this beautiful boyfriend... guy did modeling and everything, sweet guy too. Luis got insecure and got into an argument with him. It got out of control and Luis threw a drink. They ended up working out the deal with another manager in my company. Guy said he didn't feel right working with me." "That wasn't my fault! That guy was a total dick to me first," Luis argued. "Honey, you don't get it! What kind of life are we going to have if you keep costing me business with your behavior? I love you babe, but sometimes I think it's not worth it. When we get home to Florida we have to have a major talk," he told Luis. I guessed they didn't live in New York. Luis scowled. "It's not fair!" Luis jumped up and went to the other side of the patio. Joseph set down the plate of food and followed him. I watched Navid's face as he realized I was telling the truth. His mouth hung agape as he watched Luis and Joseph argue. I waited until his eyes turned back to me and then I left. I went inside and up the stairs to get my things. I was vindicated and I wanted to go. "Noah wait please," Navid said from behind me and I jumped. I hadn't heard him following me up the stairs. "You didn't believe me. You thought it was all me," I said. "I know, my love," Navid nodded. "Worse, you didn't even want to listen to me!" I paced back and forth. "I know, my love. I am... I was mistaken," Navid said. "You never listen to me. You think I'm too dumb and naive to understand anything and then this time you just thought I was being bad. I'm either stupid or evil. Or now I'm both I guess. I'm not a child. I don't need a parent!" I wasn't yelling. I tried to not sound too emotional, but my voice cracked and I was on the edge of tears. "It's not like that. I just want to protect you from things," Navid explained. "No you don't! You want to control me and keep me quiet like a little dog. When I actually needed protecting out there you were ready to spank me and put me in the corner. I can't marry you. What kind of life is that?" I argued. I couldn't believe that had just come out of me. My inner voice was screaming at me to take it back, but I couldn't. "What are you mean by this?" Navid spoke slowly as his lower lip started to quiver and his eyes narrowed in on me like he didn't understand what I was saying. "You treat me like a child. I don't mind that entirely. I like being with a man who is so strong and confident. I like being taken care of, but then you just leave me out to fend for myself when someone is mean to me. Worse, you tried to make me apologize without even hearing my side." I shook my head and held back my tears. "I was wrong for this. Was my mistake," Navid whispered. "I can't be with someone who doesn't respect me. I can't marry you... I can't!" I shook my head and felt a tear leak out of my right eye. I sniffed it back. "Baby you don't mean this. Please don't say this. I'm sorry, my love. I will go beat up Luis for you if is what you need," Navid looked desperate and he was on the edge of tears too. "It's not about Luis. This is what we do. You insist on being the daddy and need to control everything I do, even trying to get me to apologize when someone is mean to me! You want a quiet little boy who just sits at your side waiting for instruction. I don't want to be stuck as a teenager the rest of my life. I can't do this. I won't! I can't marry you," I argued. It felt like someone stabbed me in the stomach as I said that. I felt tears rushing out of me as I caught my breath. "You don't mean this, Noah. We will marry. I already tell my parents! I change everything because I love you. I change my life for you. You can't say thing like this," Navid said. "I should just be grateful that a man like you could lower himself to love a boy like me? That's bullshit! You had a ton of boys before me. You like guys and that needed to come out at some point. It's who you are." Every word was just rushing out so quickly. "I did. I was so lost before I meet you. You gave me meaning and vision for future that I never think possible... And you are only one I ever love. You are only boy I ever see my life with! Why you will say hurtful thing like this? How we get to here? I plan nice day for you and how we end up here fighting like this? I don't understand," Navid sat on the bed and sighed. He looked at me with those helpless eyes that said he needed me, he'd do anything to make this better. "That guy was just SO rude. He kept talking about your dick and saying I needed to get in better shape if I wanted to keep a guy like you. He was drooling all over you and being mean to me and then you wanted me to apologize and... and..." I walked away from him and looked at the wall. I had to get a hold of myself. I was getting choked up. "Baby," he sighed from the bed. "I am NOT going to cry in front of you. I'm not a little kid," I sniffled. I couldn't tell him I was a grown up and then melt down in tears in front of him. "You can always cry in front of me... and I cry in front of you. We are safety for each other... or we should be... you did not feel safe with me today," Navid said and came up behind me. He put his hand on my shoulder but I jerked away. "I'm sorry, Noah. I was wrong. I was so wrong to not listen to you. I was wrong to not stick up for you. I'm sorry... I get caught up in my business sometime. You know client can say mean things to me too sometimes from ignorance. They make fun of my accent or one even ask me what I think about terrorism. They make sex jokes for my body as if I am there to serve them. They know I provide service for them so they think they can treat me as they please," Navid said. "For real? That's fucked up! Why do you put up with that?" I turned to him and saw his sad eyes. "Is life, Noah. Life is not for fair and right like this. I stand it though. I stand for this because all I can think is `Hey how nice it will be to have money and pay my bills and buy pretty something for my princess and afford to have nice wedding with my love?' I stand for it because I want that you never worry for anything. I take it for us because it mean success. Remember? I am hard shell that protects my little pearl name Noah," Navid said and put his hand on my cheek. "I had no idea. I'm sorry," I said. "I am proud of my culture. I am proud of who I am and where I come. This is part of the deal to be successful in America. It suck sometimes, but I get to make money and educate people who do not know about my people. Maybe for next generation of Persian boys... for our children things will be better because I help people to learn that we are just like them, want the same thing as they do." Navid explained. "It's not fair though..." I shook my head. I'd never considered that he would struggle like that. He was also so positive and confident. He could charm anyone. How could someone be awful to him like that? "Is bad sometimes. Sometimes people with lot of money have very little class. They joke about my country like is some awful place or they try to grab my bottom or other things not appropriate. One even say he bet I have big cock like other brown boys he sleep with. People are ignorant, Noah, but I don't want that they be hurtful to you. Is not right. I take it, but you do not ask for this type of work. You do not agree to accept any of this. You just want nice day by the shore and I expose you to this. I fail you," Navid sighed. "I should have just ignored him. He's a dumb immature jerk." I rubbed my cheek against his shoulder. I smelled his sweat and cologne. It always made me hard. "No, my love. Is not your fault. I take the problems for the business, but is not fair to ask you to do same. I was wrong to not defend you. I could at least talk to Joseph about it and work things out since is my problem that I put you with such a rude boy. I don't like that you have to fight... I never see you so upset and it break my heart," Navid said. I nodded and he pulled me into his chest. He hugged me and kissed my cheek. "You still want to be mine?" he asked softly, sounding slightly unsure. "More than anything... but I want to be your partner, not your child. You can't just drag me along for the ride. I get to make some decisions. I get to drive sometimes. I'm an adult," I said. "Of course you are adult. I only mean you are my baby in that I want protect you. I do need listen to you more. My father tell me this. He say you will never grow if I keep you too small in my wings... but you don't really want to drive. Do you?" Navid looked hesitant. "Figure of speech. I meant that I get to make decisions for us sometimes... or at least be included in making them. Ok?" I asked. Navid nodded. "I will try, my love. I will try to be the partner you need instead of force you to role you do not want." Navid kissed me again and slid his hand down to my ass. "Do you think it would be weird if we fucked here in there bed?" I asked and looked up at him with needy eyes. He smiled in surprise at how quickly I shifted gears. "They may try to join us," Navid laughed. "They think we're fighting up here so maybe they'll leave us alone for an hour. The bed looks pretty sturdy," I laughed. Whenever our conflicts were over, I always wanted his cock. Sometimes even during arguments I wanted his cock. It made me feel better. "Are you guys ok?" Karim said with a knock at the door. "Ugh," I narrowed my eyes in anger. "We are ok," Navid said as he opened the door. He held me against his chest as Karim and Mike looked in with concern. "What do you want to do here? It's your call. I hate that he hurt Noah. Mike and I used to deal with that when he was younger. Joseph is still chewing him out. I get the feeling they weren't doing too well anyways. He is going to leave Luis in Florida when he travels until the boy gets more maturity. Should we walk away from this deal? Someone else can handle it. It's up to you guys. I don't want Noah attacked like that with no consequence," Karim said. "No, don't. Let's not lose money just because Luis is a jerk. Joseph didn't have anything to do with it. He seems like a nice guy in a bad situation," I said and turned to Navid. "Go and fix it." "Really? My boy is too kind... Permit me five minutes to smooth things with Joseph. Neither of us want to lose this business over his boy's bad behavior, but I also don't want you feel unsafe. I will talk to him quickly and collect our things. Wait for me here, my love," Navid said. "We can stay. I feel better now. We can go swimming. Let's not let him ruin our day," I said. I remembered that it was still over 100 degrees back home. I wouldn't mind some time in the pool with Navid and I was kind of hungry. "Really? Ok, my love. If you are sure... Is your decision. You get to drive now," Navid winked and the smile returned to his lips as he used my metaphor. He kissed me and then headed back down with Karim. When Navid came back up, he was smiling with Karim behind him. I had settle into the bed and was playing a stupid game on his phone while I waited. "Everything is good. He even adds a little bonus though we say is not necessary. He feels bad for this, but we tell him you are ok and do not want to ruin nice day. Are you ready to swim?" Navid asked as he came to me. I got off the bed and followed him downstairs. Luis was outside. He had his headphones in and was laying out on a lounge chair playing on his phone. He looked up, but then back down when he saw us. I just ignored him. All of the bad feelings were gone. Knowing Navid had my back meant everything. I wasn't going to let it bother me. We rubbed each other down with the new sunblock. I tried to not look over at Luis, but he kept checking us out and then looking back down. "Navee, should I go and work things out with him?" I whispered to Navid. I wanted to show him I could be a mature partner about these things. "No, baby. Just let him as he is. We do not know how he react," Navid said and kissed my cheek. He smoothed the white cream over every exposed inch of me. We had to let it dry before we went in. It made this weird shell over my skin, but it kept me protected and smelled earthy. "Ghost Noah! That makes you look like kabuki," Karim laughed. "It keep him protected," Navid shrugged and laughed. We had some of the food while we waited. Joseph had grilled all kinds of meat and vegetables. It was all halal meat (safe for Navid and Karim to eat). Karim said he brought it from his favorite place. Luis joined us for food. He sat close to Joseph and kept quiet as he ate. No one engaged him, and Navid acted as if he wasn't even there. Two other couples showed up as we were eating. They were friends of Joseph and closer to his age. One couple was two buff asian guys who immediately stripped down to small swim trunks. They looked like they had been models in their younger days. The other couple was mixed Hispanic and white. We were introduced to them, but they didn't have much interaction with us. We were all getting along and Joseph turned out to be a pretty nice guy. I felt bad that he had a boyfriend who embarrassed him like that, but things seemed to have calmed between them. We finally got in the pool after everyone finished their food and conversation. Navid likes to play around, but he knows I hate being put underwater so he just swam around with me and talked to the other guys. Joseph joined us and then Luis sat on the side and put his feet in, but he didn't say anything. The sun was going down so there was a long shadow over the back patio. Soft pop music playing from some speakers hidden around the patio. The guys kept the conversation light; talked about the business deal, sports, guy stuff. I swam around for a little, but then realized the pool looked more fun than it was. I remember being a kid and spending so much time in a pool with friends that my skin would wrinkle and hurt. I swam up behind Navid and put my arms around his shoulders, resting my chin on him. He reached back and messed up my hair as he talked to Karim and Joseph. He turned his face to the side and kissed my cheek. I slid a hand over his chest and pinched his nipple. "Noah!" Navid laughed. He wasn't always so comfortable with me showing public affection, especially in front of a client. He put his hand up in front of my face and I kissed his fingers, then licked them. Navid laughed and put his hands over mine as I had my arms around his shoulders. He took off swimming like a dolphin under the water with me holding onto him from behind. He's a really good swimmer, but I don't like going underwater. He went just low enough to not scare me too much, but I still felt myself dig my fingernails into his skin. "Aww baby. I scare you?" he said when he finished doing a few laps around. "You're so fast at that," I noted. I kept my arms around him tightly. Navid did a quick wrestling move to slide me around him from his back to his chest. I tried to struggle with him, but he was way stronger and easily moved me with one hand while his other went to my ticklish spots. I laughed and tried to get away from him, but he just pushed me against his chest. It was shallow enough there for me to stand. "I'm so horny for you," I whispered into his ear as he pinned me against him. "Yes? You need me?" he said as he slid a hand down to cup my bottom. "Desperately," I told him and rubbed my hand down near his ass. Navid turned from the guys and took me to the other end of the pool where it was deeper and I'd have to hold onto him. There were enough guys in the water that our absence was excusable. "You make me so hard," he confessed in a low whisper. He stared into my eyes with an intense gaze that told me he wouldn't be able to resist me much longer. "I need you inside me," I said and slid one hand down between us. I pet his abs and then reached to grab his bulge. He was thick and already hard in the swimtrunks. "They are watching us, baby. If we leave right now they'll know what we're going to do." Navid cautioned as I reached into his trunks to rub his cock and feel it pulse in my hand. "I'm pretty sure they knew what we were going to do the minute we got here," I laughed. "Noah, we can't..." Navid tried to pull my hand out of his shorts. "Really, Navee. I don't think they care," I said and looked over my shoulder to see Luis in Joseph's arms kissing. Karim and Mike were talking with the other guys, always looking to make new clients. Navid looked at them for a minute and then shrugged and went back to kissing me. Navid had his back against the side of the pool. I kept turning my head while I rubbed him to see if the guys were looking at us. They weren't but I did see Luis sneak a peek every now and then. I wondered if he was doing the same to Joseph. It was starting to get dark and Joseph hadn't turned on the back patio lights. The pool was pretty quiet except for the music playing. We had a somewhat cover of twilight to play around. Navid kissed me while I rubbed his bulge. His finger was sliding between my cheeks in the back of my swim trunks. I gasped when he pushed it inside me, but I muffled my noises against his lips. Navid turned me around so I was facing the other guys. They weren't paying attention to us, but I did catch Luis stealing a look. His eyes looked at us with jealousy and it made me feel proud to be Navid's boy. Navid swung me around so my chest was to the side of the pool with him behind me. He put one arm up in front of me along the pool ledge and the other held me as he kissed the back of my neck. "Huhhhh," I whined softly as I put my lips against his arm. I felt his bulge rubbing between my cheeks, separated by the material of our trunks. "Shh, baby," Navid whispered into my ear as he bit softly on the lobe. The thumping music, conversation, and cover of the setting sun should have been enough camouflage if we did things quietly. "Are you going to fuck me here, Navee?" I asked with a little laugh as I rubbed my lips against the furry skin of his muscled arm. He felt like he was close to that. "Just keep quiet and we will see, ok?" Navid cautioned in a whispered tone. I was rock hard in my trunks as my legs slowly treaded water. He was holding me up, and his feet just barely touched the bottom on this end. "Yes sir," I mumbled and put my face against his arm. He slid his free hand down into my trunks and gripped my cock. It always felt so weird when he did that. He didn't do it often and his hand was bigger, stronger than mine so he was a little rougher with it, but I didn't mind. I reached one hand back and pulled down the front of his trunks, exposing the thick shaft of his rigid snake. He didn't stop me. "You need it, baby? You need my cock?" Navid asked as he started to hump my grip. I pumped his cock as he stroked mine. I felt his heart pounding against my back as he held onto me protectively. "Always. Even when I'm mad at you I get so horned up just thinking about it," I admitted. "I know, my love. I am sorry I disappointed you today," Navid said. "This makes it better," I laughed. He let go of my cock and rubbed his hand over my stomach and then around to my back. He pushed down my trunks in the back and rubbed a finger between the cheeks of my ass. "Is so needy for me. Is my honor to please you, my love," Navid said. I pulled the rest of his cock out of his swim trunks and rubbed it between my cheeks. The tip rubbed up and down, then got stuck when it found my hole. I whimpered softly and leaned forward resting my cheek on his arm. I turned my face, mouth agape, to look back at the crowd and saw Luis was the only one watching us. He looked interested, a little jealous, but also kind of sad. Right as our eyes locked, Navid hit that special spot that made me go "Ah!" It wasn't loud enough to attract any new onlookers, but Luis's lips pressed into a hard line and he looked away. I turned my face the other way and looked back at Navid who wagged his eyebrows at me. "This is so hot, baby," Navid said as he leaned down to kiss me. He started to push the tip of his cock into my hole as I muffled my cries against his arm. It felt so good, but we'd been out of the habit of quieting down for other people. The privacy of our home meant he could play my body like a piano. The fat tip of his cock wedged just inside my hole and I quickly adjusted to it. He started to push into me deeper and I let out a little whine as I looked back up at him. "What's going on over there?" Joseph called from the other side of the pool and Navid instantly retreated from my ring. He froze. "Just patching things up," I said back to cover. "Oh," Joseph's happy tone calmed. "Sorry guys. Looks like you are doing better." "Almost there," Navid called and I stifled a giggle against his arm. "I am so close, Noah. You feel so good on me baby. I am lucky man to have you," Navid whispered as he kissed the back of my neck. "I love you too. You really are my dream," I confirmed. I reached down to stroke myself in my shorts but then Navid beat me to it. He slowly stroked me with his fingers as his palm massaged the head of my cock. It quickly had me back on the edge as I breathed a heavy rhythm against his arm. "You feel so good, baby. I like your cock. It respond to my touch so quickly," Navid whispered then sucked on my earlobe. His fingers danced to a slow beat as each one pulled at my shaft. I pushed forward and ground the tip of my cock against his palm. His cock slowly slid up and down between my cheeks making my body shiver and jerk in his hold. "Uh huh," I whimpered softly in his arms as his lips kissed a trail across the back of my neck. "That boy obsesses with you. He keep look at us," he told me as he looked over to check on our privacy. I turned my face so we were both looking at Luis. He was holding onto Joseph who was engaged in conversation with the others. He didn't turn away this time. I wanted to smile, but didn't want to look rude so I just turned away after giving Navid an awkward neck turning kiss. He kept sliding his thick cock between my cheeks and pressing against me with his hard abs. "He feels left out. Should we invite him over?" I said in a whinier than normal voice as he played with my cock and touched my sensitive spots. "I don't want share my boy with anyone." Navid said as he humped against me. His teeth bit down on the back of my neck, pulling the skin like a Lion with his cub. "It would be me sharing you with him. He has no interest in me. Do you ever fantasize about that? Having two boys like me to please you?" I asked. The idea didn't totally turn me off. I knew I would be horribly jealous, but it also intrigued me. I gasped when the tip of his cock banged into my hole again. He was doing it so slowly so as not to make too much noise in the water. The cold pool was balanced by his warm skin as he surrounded me in his cage of muscles. "I do have this dream of two Noahs... twins to sleep on either side of me in my hold." Navid admitted though I think he was being milder than his real thoughts. "You want us fighting over that big cock? Taking turns bouncing on it?" I asked and rubbed my ass against his shaft. His tip slid into my hole but then slipped out and shoved up between the cheeks. I flexed my ass to grip him tighter and felt his body give a sudden jerk. "Oh feels so good, baby." He rewarded my effort with a kiss on my cheek then rubbed his nose along my jaw. "Fuck I'm so close," I whined and turned my lips to his. He kissed me then slid his tongue in to muffle me as my body neared the edge. He sped up on my ass and jerked on my cock. "Mmm," I mumbled on his tongue as I felt my impending explosion. "Mmm," he answered back as his cock rubbed up and down over my hole. I got so lost in his arms. "Mmm," I squealed, maybe a little too loudly. Navid put his hand over my cheek to rub it as his tongue explored my mouth in search of quieting me down. I felt his body tense up. He shoved his cock up in quick, hard motions as a growl escaped his chest. He jerked and my cock went over the edge. We crashed together in five hard jerks as my cock fired off in his palm and his cock shot off against my back. I felt hot spurts on my skin. "Huhh," we gasped together as our tongues danced and lips wrestled. Our bodies jerked together with release as I coated his hand with my spunk. "Fuh," I whimpered as his hand gripped my cock and milked out the last of my offering. His tight abs pushed out one last shot against my back. Navid made a weird little noise of pleasure as he finished. It was the quietest our passions would allow us to be. We finished and then he rested against me, pushing me against the side of the pool. I got a few last kisses and then he laid his head against his arm and nuzzled his nose against mine as we looked at each other with sleepy, spent eyes. His hand still held my cock and kept it hard. The water mixed with the cum I'd shot into his hand. It formed this weird rubbery texture as he lazily stroked my spent cock. Navid made a low chuckle and then sighed in his happy afterglow. He rubbed his hand up my abs and smeared my thickening spunk over my tummy. He brought it up to show me what was left of it. "Eww. Why does it turn like that with water?" I asked and wrinkled my nose. "Is science. The water break down protective protein that stop it from make this." Navid informed. He always had a science lesson for me. "Mmhmm. Ok. Those are science questions I can't ask your dad," I laughed. "Oh you can. My father is good at explain body science," Navid laughed. He kissed my nose and then rubbed me clean. He gave my cock one last tug then pulled up my shorts and put his monster away. "Are they going to find little sperm bubbles in the pool?" I asked, unsure what would happen. "The chlorine kill everything. This pool has much. You not feel in your eyes?" he asked. "A little." I kissed him again as he straightened his trunks. We went back to being social. No one seemed to have noticed what we were doing except Luis. Or maybe they did notice and just ignored it. Either way, our cover seemed safe. Navid took a few awkward minutes, but then quickly returned to his charming business persona and quickly controlled the group's attention as he held me under his arm. +++ "We have wedding to plan," Navid said as we drove home. I was stretched across the center console with my head on his shoulder and my hands on his thigh. "We do, but who will come?" I asked. I wasn't prepared to deal with that. "Everyone! People love us! Your family and all my friends!" Navid was trying to make the best of it, pretend like his family's absence wouldn't affect anything. I knew how close he was. I knew he would want his brothers and parents and all their family there. They were a huge group. He had so much family, we'd need to rent a theater or something. But would we even invite them? "Ok... As long as you're there it'll be perfect," I said. I let him get by without confronting it right then. We had time for that. "I may come. I'll have to see if I have important work that day," Navid laughed. I reached and twisted his nipple until he pulled back in pain. He pulled my hand off his chest and brought it to his lips. He closed my hand in his and kissed it sweetly. "I will be there, my love. It will be our dream come true. Whatever my baby want he will have," Navid assured. "I just want you. I don't care where we do it or who shows up or how it's decorated. All I want is you and me and our special moment together. There's nothing more important," I told him. I meant it too. I wanted to grow with him for the rest of our lives. -- My Stories: https://sites.google.com/view/emri/ Feedback appreciated.- tarzanacide@gmail.com
