Date: Mon, 17 Jun 2013 13:55:54 -0700 From: D_M Subject: Alex & Timmy, Ch 10 Ch 10 Dear Readers, Several of you have inquired. No, the fact that there are two male animals in this story does not portend bestiality. Alex and Tim DO love their livestock, but only in the platonic sense. And on a different subject, the movie to which I refer is real. You can stream it live on Amazon. It really is a beautiful film, just search by it's English name. Finally, please support Nifty. It's important. Thank you. ~Daniel ============================= Tim took longer getting home than I imagined. I changed from my pajamas, grabbed my Levi's and went outside with the livestock. I tossed a Frisbee for Barkley and Dante harassed him as he pursued the flying disks. Dante loved to keep Barkley from making his catch. It was hilarious to see their interplay. Our land encompasses two acres. We have a high adobe fence all around the property, and inside the fence, we've got sweet and sour cherries, peaches, and apple trees. The height of the fence is to protect the trees, not because we need privacy or protection. Frost is a challenge for vegetation in our high altitudes, so we do our best to provide as many helps as possible. Our trees are still a bit too young to produce, but we are excited to be coming up on our first possible fruit next year. We have a greenhouse where I'm struggling to grow grapes, a large garden, also raised beds and containers. When I'm not baking downtown, if Tim and I aren't engaged with one another, I'm in the garden. I can hear Ken laughing as I swear and sweat in the dirt. He's saying *I remember when we met, you HATED being asked to help even mow the lawn. How long did it take you to get hooked? *I remember exactly the day when I realized that growing things was really cool. I was fifteen. My hormones were raging. I was so hot for Ken, which was majorly messing me up, because at that point, Ken was The Man and was responsible for keeping me out of juvie, which meant that I barely left his sight that summer. He had three of us turn the soil for his large garden. First, he had to actually teach us how to use shovels. We double dug the entire area, first spreading compost over the soil. Then, we dug trenches, which had to be straight or Ken would make us redo them. Then we added shovels full of soil on the ground next to the ditch and then dug a second ditch next to the first one moving the shovels full of soil into the first ditch. Eventually we planted seeds and starts, with all of us pissing and moaning and grumbling all the way. The first day I came out to the garden and saw the tiny heads of seeds neatly poking up, tiny bits of bright green all along the rows, I knelt down and found myself riveted. Over my shoulder, Ken said, *Well, there you have it, boys. You created life. Now, you've got to sustain it. *My two co-probies were not really impressed, but I just stayed there looking. Ken noticed. *Amazing, isn't it? *That was all he said, then he left me to ponder. After that, I never had to be told to garden. I started to seek out information. Not too long afterwards, Ken said, *I spoke with Mr. Callahan, the science teacher at your school. He says that you could do an independent study in plant biology if you would read a couple of books before school begins. *I agreed. That year in school, I passed all of my science classes. I found myself getting better in English, too, because I was reading more and retaining more. *You knew just what I needed, didn't you, Ken? Always. * The sky was a glorious blue, and I remembered to get sun protection and headed back in the house. >From the bathroom, I heard Tim drive up. I imagined he'd be stopping in the garage to take off his clothes given my *at my feet* command. I cleaned up, stripped, and decided to skip the pajamas. I gave myself a once over in the mirror and was grateful that there'd been enough early spring sun that I'd lost the farmer tan look and that now my back, shoulders, and chest had the beginnings of a good tan. More silver was creeping into my curly hair, and when I didn't shave, I could see the gray at my temples. If I let my pubes grow, I had no doubt they'd be salted, too. I still preferred smooth and ran my hands over my cock as I watched, thinking of Timmy, imagining having just given him one of his graduation gifts, hunger and gratitude in his eyes. My cock responded. I wiped the drip of clear fluid from the tip and licked it from my finger, then rolled my eyes at myself for being self absorbed. Our bedroom is filled with furniture made from cast metals and wood, except for one piece, Ken's chair, into which I settled to wait for my boy to return to me. He came in a few minutes later, naked and hot looking. I expected him to be smiling but instead, I saw pained emotion on Tim's face. "Hey, Tim," I said and stood to hug him, waiting for him to let me know what was going on. I ran my hands over his back, tracing the lines, feeling his traps bulging from swimming, the still pronounced V, then down his ass, feeling the musculature and the smoothness of his skin, taking him in. Tim sighed deeply and said, "Just having your hands on me calms me down, Alex. Thank you." I took his face in my hands and looked carefully into his eyes. I kissed him softly, lingering, broadcasting love; feeling myself get protective. So many impulses, the deep sexual need; need to dominate; need to protect; the power of our love never ceases to amaze me and stop me in its tracks. "What's up, babe? How'd it go with James?" I said as I ended the kiss. Tim smiled wearily and said, "It was okay. We talked for little while and then I said goodbye. I went for a little drive. Today's been a big day, y'know? Lots of change—mostly all good. I feel as though I'm suddenly supposed to just step into a brand new life, all new rules, and I just want for things to slow down some. I know that I played a role in speeding them up, now I just want to be quiet and feel the ground get solid again." I sat and pulled him down as I sat, "You may be almost 18, and nearly as tall as me, but I will always hold you in my lap in this chair." "Thanks, this is the most perfect way I could imagine to get back my balance. Well, this and...." There was more going on than Tim was admitting. I responded, "Yea, Timmy, but before we dive in to pleasures of the flesh, I need to understand what was or is going on. Talk to me, lover." It entered my mind and I asked, "Did your father hurt you today?" "No...." Tim said and hesitated, then continued, "not like inflicting a new wound, Alex, truly. He just talked to me about how sorry he is for having been blind and unfeeling and uncaring up until just very recently. Having him making those confessions just finally made me have to acknowledge and feel all of that isolation, all of that pain from being a little throwaway kid. "I worked so hard to not let their treatment of me matter, but y'know? It really did. They DID hurt me, and now he comes to me wanting—what? Absolution? Forgiveness? My heart wants to be able to just open my arms and to feel all the sweet feelings for a father who saw his grievous mistake, but my brain and my gut are a bit more skeptical. I told him that saying you're sorry is something to do when you're five minutes late, or when you forgot about a meeting. Asking forgiveness for not paying attention to a child you chose to bring into this world and for ignoring him as he wants nothing more than from you than for you to toss a ball to him or build a model with him or wrestle on the floor for ten minutes.... "Ten minutes. Or, a kiss goodnight, Alex, that's all it would have taken for me to have not felt alone! I said that to him today, and that truth devastated him. "So now, I feel raw because I finally was honest AND I managed to make an already hurting man feel worse. I truly don't know what to do. And, this day was so amazing. So many wildly great things, but all this hard stuff, too. I wanted to be at your feet, and to give over to you, but instead, now I'm all ... I don't know, messed up." Tim had silent tears coming down his face. I hugged him to me hard. Holding him against me, stroking his hair, I said, "Timmy, letting the walls down on this pain is huge. It's incredibly important for you. AND, you are absolutely right—this is complex stuff. Your heart is kind and loving and indeed, being able to meet your father where he is right now and love him is something that I have no doubt will happen." Without taking a breath, I continued, faster, "I want you to consider getting someone in your life to help you navigate these waters, okay? Rosa's friend, Sam, is a clinical psychologist in town whom I recommend wholeheartedly. He worked with Rosa's family during some really challenging times and I've referred others to him since then, always with solid reports back. I met him a few times and here's what I know about him. He's brilliant, hilarious, a left-leaning Baptist minister who doesn't have a church because he wants to be a *shrinkist*, as he calls himself. He plays piano, guitar, acts, sings, and is an ocean-boating enthusiast. Oh, and he's kink friendly. I know that because one of the folks I referred him to told me a story he'd told Sam in a session that confirmed Sam's absolute openness. I don't mean open to being queer, I mean non-judgmental with queer folks. Just think of Sam as a trainer. You'd think nothing of hiring a trainer if you were training your body. Think of him as a trainer for your heart and mind." Tim had listened to my information about Sam silently. The more I spoke about him the faster I talked because I didn't want Tim to object before I'd said my peace. By my last comments I was red-faced and a little out of breath. My lover knitted his brow and said, "What the hell just happened? I felt as though you were on the debate team and you had 30 seconds to present your case." He grinned and kissed me. I let out my breath, not quite aware I'd been holding it. "Whew, yea, I guess I was a little amped up. I'm sorry, seeing you in pain is not the easiest thing I've ever experienced. I know this is important work, but damn, Timmy, my protective self just wants to tear James from limb to limb." Kissing me, he said, "Ah, my tall dark and handsome hero. I'm one lucky kid." We kissed and hugged for a few more minutes and Tim said, "I would like to talk with Sam. If you could get me his number, I will call him this week. I agree, I don't want to put you in the role of therapist or Mr. FixIt, and I do think this stuff will take some time to get through. I'd like to not be a basket case now that we're so close to being able to live as a couple." "And, I'd just like for you to feel whole and happy all the time, Tim." "I do think that it's important for us to revel in the reality that your father knows and he's fine with us. Let's celebrate that reality." "Yea, you're right. That is such a damned weight off. And, I'm really glad that you liked my gratitude to Ken. When I thought about all of the ways I could thank you in public, I figured that Ken encapsulated all of the things that you and I share and more, the base from which you stand as a man was shaped with him. And, as the primary beneficiary of your excellent mental and emotional health, I AM so grateful to Ken. I feel so much that I know him, I sometimes feel as though he's sitting on my shoulder." "Me, too, Timmy. Absolutely. I do believe he is here with us, I can feel him smiling, and sometimes scratching his head. I've never felt so connected to someone who has died. I do still miss him, but I have his legacy in you. I think that we both are part of his legacy. He did, after all, have the good sense to bring us together." Tim got up and stretched then went to the bathroom. When he returned, he reached his arms down the back of my chair and whispered in my ear, "I know that we had a different plan for this evening, but I wonder if you would mind ordering pizza and watching movies and snuggling instead. I just want to be a barnacle this evening." I pulled on his arms and forced him to half jump, half fall over the back of the chair back into my lap. "A finally graduated soon no longer a minor devastatingly handsome arthropod? Sweet vanilla luvin' tonight, little Barnacle. Instead of pizza, why don't I just make us a couple of protein shakes with mango? Better for us and we don't need to let the world in. But, we should really go give the livestock some attention. They've not seen you and I know they'll be anxious when they don't hear from us. Having just gotten into my lap, Tim dramatically rolled his eyes then jumped up and ran to the back door where our two faithful friends awaited us. Barkley woofed happily and Dante nosed us repeatedly for ear scratches. Dante went to the apple bin and grabbed an apple as I tossed Barkley a dog treat. Dante wasn't allowed on the carpet, but our huge kitchen had a hoof-proof floor. We loved on the livestock and Tim put on a pair of ragged old shorts and while I made the smoothies. He went to Barkley's and Dante's "bedroom," as we called their little barn and changed their water and put down their dinner. As soon as they heard him at their respective food bins, they bade me a quick farewell and retired. I rolled my eyes and sighed. What comic relief, those two. I peeled mangoes and thought about Tim and knew that Sam would help him work through all of the growth issues in front of him. I made a mental note to suggest to James that he, too, seek some help. Having James more steady would no doubt help Timmy. Tim returned and washed up. I handed him a shake and we made our way to the media room. I hate televisions and screens in view in homes, so we keep all of our audiovisual equipment in a room that we retooled from a large bedroom. The smell of leather and my libido are inextricably linked. It is not outside the realm of possibility for Timmy and me to head to our little audio visual hideaway with every intention of watching a purely vanilla film and then, as soon as we settle in, the leather smell, the feel of it against our skin.....suffice to say that we don't end up watching a lot of movies in the movie room. Since the furniture makes us a little crazy, I continue to install additional—features—to the room. In addition to the leather couch and chairs, we've got a lovely black bench that resembles a long footstool that is equipped with a nicely concealed hydraulic lift. I hate having to fuss to get adjustments made in the thick of things. I had planned a special evening for Tim, and I knew that it was really important to deliver, especially given Tim's vulnerability. I could hear Ken's words, *Alex, always live your life looking at every situation from the perspective of what is the best that can happen. When you use that framework, you will find that life yields more positives than negatives. Own that perspective, make it the way you approach every situation, and your life will net out with a lot more experiences in the positive side of the column than the negative. * I'd planned one gift for Tim's body, one for his heart, and one for his mind that his father and I collaborated to create. For tonight, I decided to lead with the gift for his heart, and I hoped that his heart would help him get into a solid space so that the gift for his body could happen very soon. "What film would you like to watch, Timmy?" I said as he came in and settled on the couch, stretching his legs and crossing them at the ankles on the bench. I reached down to kiss him and held his cock and balls in my hand as I sought his tongue, sucking it hard. "Oooh, Alex," he said, and grabbed at me as I slid away, smiling. Poutily, he said, "Well, I suppose that I wouldn't mind having you surprise me." Then he grinned, not being able to sustain the pout. "Ah, alright then, young Mr. Henner, I believe that we will watch my favorite love story of all time, *Do começo à extremidade. *Forgive my bastardizing the Portuguese, *From Beginning to End."* "Wow, how could I have not known about this film before now, Alex?" Timmy asked softly. "Because I wanted to wait for a really special time to share it, baby," I said quietly back as I snuggled down and hit PLAY. I pulled him against me and said, "Shh, you need to pay attention to the subtitles or you'll miss a lot." The story is that of two brothers who, half a dozen years apart, share a love that is beyond anything imaginable. Their parents see the intimacy between them and never disabuse them or discourage them. When their mother dies their father leaves them (they are young men well old enough to live on their own) to maintain their family home, they become lovers, and formally acknowledge their love. The film is most definitely a love story. The love scenes are hot in the sense of their intensity and attraction is hot; the film is a mainstream release, not a work of pornography. I suspected that Timmy would not be at all put off by the incest subtext, but as I did, he would see us in the power of their connection despite the obvious difference. As the movie unfolded, Tim was enrapt. I watched him and saw my young lover as a man for the first time that evening. And, when the elder brother, Francisco, began texting Tomas, the younger the words of Shakespeare's Sonnet 116 just before knocking on the Tomas' door having traveled from Brazil to Russia to be with Tomas because he can no longer stand the distance between them, Timmy wept. I held him and we watched the last of the film. It ended and Tim turned to me, eyes wide. "Thank you for showing me this film, Alex. Do we own it?" I nodded. "Of course we do." "The musical theme, the one that played whenever the two of them were intimate, that was so beautiful...." he said. "Yes, I love that part, too." "And, I also really loved that when they danced together naked, even though Tomas was shorter and younger, he led Francisco. I hated how sad Francisco was, Alex. If I ever knew that you were that sad, no matter HOW important the reason I had for being away, I could not do it." Tim kissed me and said, "Do you think that Francisco was just so sad from missing Tomas, he nearly had sex with that woman?" "Yea, I think that absolutely no love in the world is immune to human frailty, isolation and longing being powerful drivers." Tim looked at me urgently. "But, we will always be safe, won't we, Alex? Nothing will ever break us apart. I couldn't live without you. I know that. I can't imagine a day without you." He held me so hard, and I felt wet tears on my skin. "Timmy, I can only tell you that I will do everything in my power to always keep us together. I don't want to even imagine life without you. As a matter of fact," I said and reached into the cushion of the couch to pull out a small box. I slid off the couch and got on one knee, holding Tim's hands in mine. "Timothy Henner, three years ago, I gave you the ring you wear on your right index finger because you were too young for the world to accept our love. In two days hence, you will be old enough to vote, to die for your country in battle, and to be legally married to me in many states. You have made me the happiest human on the planet these past three years and I can't really imagine being happier, save for having our lives legally joined for all the world to acknowledge. I know that the tradition of engagement rings has mostly been for heterosexuals, but I see no reason in the world why we can't borrow that tradition. So, Tim, will you accept this ring as an engagement ring, and will you have me as your husband three years from your birthday, on the day that you turn 21 years old?" I opened the box and extracted a heavy white gold ring with a robin's egg blue sapphire and diamonds channel set in the design. I put it at his ring finger and looked questioningly at him. Tim's expression was intense, serious. His eyes never left mine, not even to inspect the ring as I put it on his hand. He cupped my face with his hands and said, "Alex, you have been everything I needed in my life and more, friend, confidant, teacher, parental figure, mentor, and my lover. Would I consent to be your husband? Of course I will, as you know in my heart I have always been. I will work every day of my life to protect and care for you and for your love, for OUR love. Just when I think it's not possible to be happier or to love you more, you show me something that helps broaden my sense of what IS possible. That film, Alex, thank you for that. I'm still such a kid, and I haven't had the opportunity to SEE men in love besides us. I only ever worry about being young in this regard. I just haven't had experience in the world, so I lack context. I'm so grateful that you don't seem to worry about that. I just always want to be my best for you. I will be your husband, Alex Drew. I will be your servant and your sinner and your saint. I will be your friend and your most loyal fan and your protector, your baby and your lover and your critic when you need it. I will be at your side, as long as I breathe. I love you so much." We stood and kissed slowly, barely touching, hearts pounding. Tim took my cock and balls in his hand, and I responded in kind. "Their bodies were so beautiful when they made love. I wonder what we look like, Alex." I groaned as I imagined. "I'd like to get a camera to film us in the dungeon and in our bedroom," he rasped. "I want to see us," he said melted to the floor in front of me. His hands circled around me and as he opened his mouth to receive my thick cock, he began playing with my ass cheeks, teasing me as he took more of me down his throat. I was beginning to fuck his face when he stood, "Not yet, baby," he purred in my ear as he moved me to the bench. "Get on your knees for me, please." I complied and Tim toed the control to bring the bench to the proper height for me. He knelt behind me, spread my ass cheeks with his hands then dove in licking around my sensitive pucker. As he licked, he fondled my balls, pulling them straight down as I loved. With one hand on my balls, the other played with my cock as Timmy's tongue made its way further and further up my chute. "Jesus, Timmy, so fucking good," I moaned. "I've got you all slicked up, babycakes, now I'm going to have to fuck this hot ass," he said as he slid his thick purple cockhead past my sphincter. "FUCK!" I yelled in surprise. "Mmm, yea, take my cock, Alex!" SMACK! Tim whacked my ass with his hand, hard, my cock responding to the pain. "Shit, so good," I grunted as Tim continued to redden my ass as he fucked me. "You're so hot, Alex," he said as he rabbitted up my hole. He fucked me hard for another couple of minutes, long, hard strokes, then whamwhamwham, fast, short, bringing me soooo close. Then he slid out and walked around the bench to my face. "Suck me!" he said, shoving himself into my mouth. I tasted myself on his cock and moaned at the musty smell and flavor. "Yea, I can be a nasty boy, can't I, lover?" he taunted as he held my head and face fucked me. Tim had played at dominating me in the past, but this evening, I felt him begin to own his power. I got another glimpse of the man behind the boy. Tim continued to bring himself to the edge and then back off just in time. He stood up, gave me his hand and said, "I'd like to have a long sexy shower with you, Alex, and then I want you to fuck me on my back so I can watch you." I smiled and kissed him and we walked down the hall hand in hand. The shower has built in places to sit and strategically placed hand-holds in case we decided to have a *long sexy shower *as Timmy put it. We soaped one another and wanked each other several times, edging close, close, so close, then backing down. I'd taught Tim about edging in the past year and when we had time, we regularly indulged. In the shower, we wanked and kissed, nipped one another's necks, nipples, asses, wherever hands and teeth could reach. Finally, after an hour in the water, we rinsed off and I picked Tim up and tossed him on the bed, then jumped on top of him and frotted him as he squirted lube between us. Rubbing our cocks together hard and fast was a favorite as we could kiss and share a blasting orgasm. I took us close once again, and then finally, I knelt between Tim's legs and teasingly slowly, rubbed my crazy-swollen cockhead at the entrance of his hungry ass. "Is," I said as I pushed in a tiny bit, "this," a fraction more, "what," another half an inch, "you," back out and then in a tiny bit further, "WANT?" then all the way inside him, where I leaned against him, my pelvis meeting at the Y of his legs. "I can feel your heart beat on my cock, Tim. Is this what you need?" I teased and began to fuck him. "Yes, damnit, Alex, YES!" he yelled. "Good damned thing," I grunted and fucked him as hard as I could. "Because it's what I need, too!" I felt myself fast approaching lift off and grabbed for Tim's cock. "No! Don't touch me, I'll blow. I need to wait for you!" he gasped. "Okay, baby, I'm there!" I said and no sooner did I say the words than Tim spurted a long stream of jizz over his head to the headboard. I groaned and came down the hot tunnel of Tim's ass, three, four, five times. I stayed inside him feeling the aftershocks, watching as Tim scooped up cum from his chest and forehead, offered it to me. I leaned in to get it and then kissed him. As we kissed, I slid out then wrapped my legs around him. "Hey Alex," I said. "Yea, Tim?" "Did I dream it, or did you actually propose to me this evening?" I reached for his left hand and looked at the ring on his finger. "Evidence," I said. "You didn't dream it. I really did and as I recall, you really accepted." He looked at the ring on his hand now, for the first time. In a voice filled with wonder and awe, he said, "Oh hell yes, I did." And, even though it wasn't late at night, we fell asleep right then, another day filled with amazements. ================== Thanks for your ongoing comments and kindness. Hope all's well in your neck of the woods. Daniel
