Date: Sun, 31 Aug 2008 07:32:47 -0700 (PDT) From: JMH Subject: Circle the Noun Chapter 33 Jeff was becoming a problem. Not only did he rarely let his eyes leave Josh's face but he also took almost every opportunity to hug him. Robert found it very amusing. A hot looking 25-year-old guy was doing almost everything he could to try to get Josh to sleep with him. Josh would just tell Robert it was just Jeff testing him to see if he kept his word not to sleep with him but Robert was not sure. Thanksgiving was no different. After dinner and all the plates were cleared, Josh and Robert had gone over to the living room to rest the meal off. They had not been lying there for ten minutes when Jeff came walking in wearing only a jockstrap, strutting his fully tanned football receiver body around. "Dad? can we snuggle?" he asked Josh with puppy dog eyes. Josh, who was laying down, was right at eye level to the large cock growing in Jeff's jock. "Not right now? Robert and I are resting." "Oh come on, Josh? you did adopt him," Robert said? loving the predicament Josh had gotten himself into. "Join us, Jeff." "Thanks, pop!" Jeff said excitedly. Jeff then surprised both Robert and Josh by slipping off his jock before snuggling up to the two older men. Jeremy, who was also in the living room, gave out a deep sigh. "Will the two of you please fuck him back to sanity." "Jeremy? I'm not going to have sex with your boyfriend," Josh said as he tried to protect his buttons from Jeff's agile fingers. "Please, Josh, I'm begging you? fuck him. It's the only way to get him to act normal. Until he has sex with you he will ignore me, so for my sex life and my sanity, please fuck him," Jeremy said desperately as he saw Jeff kiss the side of Robert's grinning face. Josh, having enough of this, pushed Jeff off the two of them. "Jeff why are you acting like this?" "I don't understand," Jeff replied innocently "It's your fault, Josh," Jeremy sighed. "Dad, can you dress me?" Jeff said as he handed josh his jock. "What do you mean?" Josh asked. So far he felt he had tried to do everything right. "You told him to call you dad? big mistake," Jeremy explained. "I told him to call me Dad, but I said no sex. I?" Josh tried to finish but was stop when Jeff tackled him. "Let's wrestle, dad!" Jeff said. As the two of them rolled on the carpet it became clear that it was less of a wrestling match than an attempt by Jeff to rip off every article of clothing Josh was wearing. Robert enjoyed watching, but David, getting worried, jumped in and pulled the two men apart. Josh, who had lost his shirt and half his pants in the process, went to one side to escape. "You think this is funny?" he shouted at Robert. "Yes I do." "He was trying to rape me." "No, he wasn't. He was just horsing around." "No? Josh is right? that is exactly what Jeff was trying to do," Jeremy explained. "What?" Robert said in shock, the anger in his rising. "Tell Jeff to go to his room," Jeremy insisted before explaining more. "Jeff? go to your room," Josh ordered before Robert could get his hands on Jeff. "Yes, dad?" Jeff said cheerfully bounding up the stairs. "OK? now tell us what you should have told us before we invited you to live here." "Jeff is not the most sane person in the world," Jeremy confessed. "He seems to be fine at work," Josh said. "He was on his meds then." "And he is not on them now?" "I watch him take them but he must have tricked me." "Tell us? what is wrong with Jeff." "Two things? the emotional and sexual abuse he suffered as a child makes him revert to a child when he comes across men he see as father figures. Second, he is bipolar. He doesn't dip into depression much but when he becomes manic he acts out sexually." "To the point that he would rape a person," Josh asked worriedly, concerned for his kids. "Just you, Josh. I told you to have sex with him. He would calm down and I would be able to talk him back into his meds." "Why Josh?" "Because in his fucked up mind his sees Josh as his dad. You know that Jeff was abused by a neighbor but you don't know about his father." "What happened? Did he molest him as well?" Robert asked. "No? but he did beat him. After the neighbor dumped him for getting too old, Jeff was hurt and confused. He had mistaken the sex for love. He felt he had to have sex to feel love. Jeff loved his father so he tried to ?" Jeremy had difficulty saying. "He tried to have sex with his father and his father beat him," Josh finished. "Yes," Jeremy replied. "How do you know all this?" "I had Jeff sign a paper giving his psychologist permission to talk to me about his issues." "Ok? so the thing with Josh was Jeff's attempt to have sex with his father," Robert said with undisguised disgust. "No? Jeff's mind is still like a child's. He is trapped. He is an adult still looking for the approval of adults as if he were a child. Josh in telling Jeff to call him dad must have triggered a lot of memories in Jeff? all the memories of him trying to get adult approval through sex. That is why I wanted you to sleep with him Josh. I hoped that an understanding guy like you could help him see that he has your respect." "But sex is part of the problem." "Josh, do you know what his shrink told me? she told me to give up on him, to let him find some daddy figure who could fulfill his fantasy, that all my love would not get him past his problems. I know you, Josh, you would never steal my man from me." "Josh, if I may speak," Robert sighed. "Yes?" Josh replied, just as tired. "This was your project and you took it against my judgment, so you will have to clean it up yourself, just as you promised." "Robert? I was not going to ask you to do anything," Josh said. "I know? I just want to be clear. I also want you to know that I will support you whatever decision you make." "Thanks, but if anyone knows what to do it is you, Jeremy." "Sleep with him, Josh? help him get over his obsession." "I'm sorry, Jeremy, but I don't see how that will help." "It's a band aid, I know, but if you are just like the other guys Jeff obsesses over ? you sleep with him a few times, he sees that you are not perfect and he goes looking for the next guy." "Jeremy, I want Jeff to be healed, not another bump on the road. I think I need to talk to Jeff's doctor." "Dr. Samuels is a nice enough of a woman? can be a little harsh at times but she only does that to get her point across. Jeff sees her twice a week. Do you want to join him for his Friday meeting?" "The day after Thanksgiving?" Josh said surprised. "Yep? she has worked with Jeff for a while now and sees him regardless of holidays." "Ok? will you be joining us." "I will, but I think that she will want to spend some time with you alone. You will be the first of Jeff's targets that she will meet. I think Dr. Samuels will find it interesting." *************************************************************** "You ok, Josh?" Andrew asked as the group began to leave the living room. "Never a dull moment here." Josh tried to laugh it off. "How are you, Andrew?" "Feeling I made the biggest mistake in my life in leaving you." "It was my fault," Josh confessed. "Yes? you should have never agreed to marry me." Andrew grinned as he reached over and hugged Josh lightly. When Josh did not pull away, he hugged Josh more tightly. "I miss you, babe." Andrew began to cry. "I miss you too," Josh agreed as he hugged back. "Please come back home." "I can't, my boyfriend would never agree to it." "Do you love him?" Josh asked. "No? but I know he is all mine at least." "I'm sorry, Andrew." "Hey, you loved me as much as you could. It just happened to be less than another person." Josh slowly began to unbutton Andrew's shirt as he rested his head on his shoulder. "What are you doing, Josh." "Telling you that I still love you." "I have AIDS, Josh." "I know? I just want to hold you." "What about Robert?" "Robert is right here," Robert's voice came from behind as he slipped off Andrew's shirt and kissed the side of his neck. "Robert?" Andrew said confused. "Shhhhhh? Andrew. You forgot, Andrew, that I did really like you. I wanted us to be friends," Robert explained as he lifted Andrew off his feet. "But I hated you," Andrew confessed. "Yes?" Robert sighed as he carried Andrew up the stairs, Josh following. "I really wish you didn't. You know Nathan is involved in a threesome." "He is?" Andrew said surprised. "I though he was dating David." "Well, David, is the principle lover, but Philip is their best friend and bed buddy." "Someone will get jealous. I did." "Well, I hope it will be different for them. Unlike us, they get along so well. Philip knows he is the secondary partner in the threesome and accepts it because David and Nathan are such good friends to him. One day, Philip might go looking for a deeper relationship with someone else, but he will always have David and Nathan as friends." "You see how we should have been in them," Andrew realized. "I was Philip but unhappy playing second fiddle. I messed everything up." "There is still hope for us yet," Robert said as he lowered Andrew on the bed, followed by Josh, who was carrying a bottle of wine and three glasses. "What is going on here?" Andrew asked as Robert worked to unbuckle Andrew's pants. "You are going to spend the night with us," Robert explained. "But I have AIDS." "We know, but that does not mean we can't hold you, comfort you, and let you know that regardless of the jerk you have been, we still love you," Josh said as he poured the wine." "So no sex?" Andrew asked, concerned for Robert and Josh's sanity. "No sex," Robert replied. "Ok?" Andrew said with a sigh of relief. Down to each other's underwear, Josh handed out the glasses to all three of them before giving a toast. "To family." "To family," both Andrew and Robert agreed, letting their glasses hit each other. "To love," Robert spoke up next. "To love" Josh and Andrew followed. "To forgiveness," Andrew said last. "To forgiveness," both Josh and Robert whispered. Instead of joining the glasses together, Josh and Robert kissed Andrew gently on each cheek. "I don't deserve this," Andrew said as wiped his eyes to remove the tears building there. "Shhhh? don't think about it anymore. Tonight will be like it used to be, all three of us in the bed together, content and happy," Robert said as he took Andrew's wine glass away. With the glasses put away and the lights out, Josh and Robert slipped under the sheets with Andrew, holding him in their arms. For just that night Andrew was able to forget all his problems and sleep knowing that he was still loved. *************************************************************** "Come on, Andy? give me your hole, you sex pig!" Mike recited from the script he was reading. "Yes cock master? take it," Patrick recited. "I'm going to take it and fill it up, my little slut." "Oh yes?" Patrick said before flipping a page over. "You are so big?. And these lines are so tacky?" Patrick, slipping out of character, laughed. "I know but it's what we have to work with." Mike grinned. "Let's skip all these Shakespearean lines and get to the sex." "I'm looking for it" Mike said as he kept turning the pages. Ahhh here it is? cock master shoves his hot cock into Andy's hole." "Good." Patrick grinned as he raised his legs. Mike raised them on his shoulders and began to move his dick into position when Patrick noticed something was missing. "Where's the lube?" "It doesn't say that cock master uses lube." Mike grinned. "Well, 'Andy' needs lube? in fact cock master can forget about getting Andy's ass if there is no lube." "Alright," Mike sighed? he wasn't going to really fuck Patrick without it. Mike just wanted to see if Patrick noticed that it was missing from Jessica's story. After lubing Patrick up, Mike pushed into his lover's ass and began humping away while Patrick kept reading Jessica's story. "Hey, it says here that you are supposed to suck my cock while fucking me," Patrick said as he pointed the line out to Mike. "Where does it say that?" Mike demanded as he took the script out of Patrick's hand. "Yep it does? sorry hon, I can't do that." "I want my dick sucked while you fuck me." "Well, I can go ask Robert to do it." "No? that's not what the story says. It says clearly that cock master fucks and sucks Andy at the same time," Patrick insisted. "Hon? unless I become the amazing pretzel boy, there is no way I can suck and fuck you at the same time." "Damn? this story is stupid. The lines are stupid. The names are stupid, even the sex is stupid and that's saying a lot." "Hey, it was her first effort and looked at what she used as a source? porn." "Yeah? remind me to get back at Robert," Patrick said as he let his legs drop. "So what are we going to do now?" Mike asked, seeing that the mood was broken. "Do you ever think of having a threesome?" Patrick asked "Why, do you?" "Hey? I asked you first." "Not really. I love you, Patrick, and no one else." "I know, but there is only so much you can do with two people." "The sex is getting boring, hon?" "Not boring? it just needs a little spicing up. I mean we had to be pretty desperate to use Jessica's story." "Well it's not a love story? it's a more a 'get revenge at Andy a.k.a. Andrew' story. I could write better than this on a napkin." "Then why don't you," Patrick suggested. "Do what?" "Write me a sex story." "Really?" Mike said with raised eyebrows. "Yes." "Ok, I will, but you have to promise not to laugh." "I won't? unless you write a comedy." Patrick grinned. "Why you," Mike said as he pounced on his lover. After they wrestled for a bit they got bored again. "So what now?" Patrick asked. "There is always the standby?" "DVD sex bingo?" Patrick grinned. "Yep? I even saved a few of Robert's DVDs." Mike grinned as well. "Remember B is for bondage, I is for intestine, otherwise know as anal, n is for nature, g is gang bang, and o is oral," Mike reminded Patrick as he put in six DVDs into the multi-disk player setting it for random play. "Ok? now don't put a 'one' in the G column," Patrick reminded Mike as he handed him a piece of graph paper. "Hey, I only did that once," Mike defended himself. "Are you ready?" Patrick asked, after giving Mike a chance to pick his numbers. "Ready." "Ok.," Patrick said as he pushed the play button?"Oh, three guys in bondage? I have that," Patrick said excitedly. "Lucky?" Mike moaned. Whoever got bingo first would get to control the bed for the night, making the other person a slave till dawn. Unfortunately for Mike, he had bad luck for the whole game. After getting three on bondage, 2 on oral, 12 on gang bang? Mike still believed that it was really 13, a 4 on anal, and a 1 in nature Patrick won. His first order was for Mike to put on a cock ring and go downstairs to pick up a can of whipping cream, a bottle of chocolate sauce, and one cherry. Patrick wanted a banana split, with Mike providing the banana. Putting on the cock ring and giving Patrick a salute, Mike made his way downstairs. *************************************************************** Like three little puppies, Nathan, David and Philip were curled up against each other on the futon in Robert's office. They didn't even have sex tonight. They only enjoyed the feel of each other's bodies against each other. David liked the feel of his shorter chest hairs against Nathan's back, it was as if he could feel each hair as it moved against Nathan's body. Philip for his part loved the feel of his smooth skin against Nathan's chest and stomach. The feel of the muscles as both of their breathing went up and down. Every now and then the three of them would hear a moan or groan from the adjoining office where Greg and Scott were still at it. All three of them were happy that Greg and his boyfriend were enjoying themselves. Having to pee, Nathan got out from between the two of them and headed for the hallway bathroom where he could hear loud talking. "Put on some clothes!" Jessica shouted. "No? this is what Patrick asked me to wear so this is all I am wearing. I would not have to do this if your story was any good." "What do you mean? my story was perfect?" "Perfect jack off material maybe but nothing that reflected reality." "Well is that not the point, to get you guys off?" "For some maybe but yours was just plain bad. No gay guy in a loving relationship talk that way to each other and you can't fuck and suck the same guy at the same time." "Well?" Jessica stalled. "It's fiction. I never said my story reflects reality." "No but it should at least obey the laws of physics." "I'd like to see you do better." "I will? I'm going to write one for Patrick." "Then I would like to see it. I might even be able to help you out." "Thanks but I think I can do it on my own. I wrote poetry in college. I'll show you it when I'm done though." "Fine? you don't want my help." "Yep!" Mike took great enjoyment in saying. One thing good Mike could see of Andrew coming back was there would be no reason for Jessica to stay. He had preferred things back when it was an all male house. He could make sexist jokes, grab his and Patrick's groins without it casing a riot. Of course, if one of the kids had turned out straight, Mike might have felt a little reserved. Thank goodness every single one of them was queer. Mike knew that Nathan still felt he was bi but Mike felt sure that there was no way David would let a woman get between them. Speaking of Nathan? Mike saw him trying to make it to the bathroom without being noticed. "Hey Nathan? what are you doing up?" "Trying to get to the bathroom." Nathan blushed. "Don't let me stop you, but I would like to see you when you are done. Nathan finished with his business and went looking for Mike. He found him in the kitchen. "You wanted to talk to me." "Yep Nathan? have a piece of pie," Mike said as he pointed to the plate prepared for him. "Thanks, uncle Mike," Nathan said as he took the piece of strawberry rhubarb pie. "So tell me how are you and David?" "We are doing very well? I mean he's really crazy about me." "And you?" "I love him as well. I just don't know if I love him the same way he loves me." "That's expected. My son has had his heart set on you for years." "Yeah? I wish I had known." "You did know? not that he was in love with you but that he loved you. It was his own problem that he didn't have the courage to tell you." "I guess. I still feel I should have known. I feel like I'm playing catch up." "Don't worry? Patrick felt the same way about me. I was crazy about him from the moment your dad showed me his photo. His bright green eyes and red hair were perfect. When I finally met him at the airport I just had to hug him and would you believe it his small frame fit perfectly against mine. I found that he had your dad's sweet innocence but also a great sense of humor. We started off as playmates but I had to admit I was madly in love with him. During the whole time I wondered why a great guy like Patrick was with a bear like me. Made me afraid to ask him to marry me, but I finally asked him and to my great surprise he said yes." "So you ready for it." "I guess? you know I will have to tell all my other tricks that I can't see them anymore," Mike joked. "You never had any other tricks." Nathan laughed. "Yeah? but it's not like I haven't been hit on by other guys and not done a little flirting myself." "It that what you are afraid of missing." "A little? I have never cheated on Patrick, but I knew that I always could if I wanted to. I just never did. After I get married I know I can't? all those men stop being possibilities. Instead? I have to deal with temptation. It's like they say, you never notice what you lost till you lose it." "But you are getting a great deal in Patrick." "I'm getting a great deal with you as well." Mike grinned. "If you and David make it that is." "You mean becoming my father in law." Nathan smiled. "Yep." "Then I better make sure David does not get in jail." "Yeah? that would ruin things, but with the legal team Josh is forming, I think David will be found innocent. The DA is offering him a deal now." "Really? David did not tell me that." "I think he does not want you to worry. He has not said yet if he is going to take it" "What's the deal?" "David pleas guilty to interfering in a police investigation and conspiracy to commit murder and he will only be sentenced to three years in prison which mean he can make probation in eighteen months. The problem is that the DA wants David to tell them who the real killer is in return." "But David is innocent," Nathan replied. "Of murder he is? but David did lie to the police and he did make threatening phone calls to Thomas. Nathan? the DA knows he can't prove the murder case against David but on the lesser charges? even Josh agrees there is little we can do." "David is going to jail?" Nathan said panicked. "Yes," Mike confessed as he wrapped his arms around Nathan despite his nudity. "That is what I needed to tell you. David could just not bear to tell you, but you need to know. You have to know how hard he is trying to keep you happy." "I don't care about being happy. I want him to be happy." "I know, Nathan. His making you happy is the last thing he feels he has control over. With his conviction he can forget about becoming a doctor. I would give him a job at my company but I know he wants to be with you and you want to become a lawyer working for your dad, so I think I'm going to tell David to become a paralegal. You know? so the two of you can work together." "I don't know if I could ever boss David around," Nathan chuckled. "Well, I am hoping that Robert will take David under his wing and help him become the firm's PR guy. It would be nice if he could get a degree in marketing, but I'm sure Robert can teach him what he needs to know," Mike explained. "Now that I know that David is in real trouble what can I do to help him?" "Tell him you know and tell him you still love him." "I will," Nathan said as he stepped away. "Now, if you don't mind I have to show how much I love my fiancée. He wants to turn my cock into a banana split." Mike chuckled as he picked up the bag with the stuff. "He didn't ask for them but I know he like nuts with his ice-cream," Mike said as he put a can of pecans into the bag. "That's one thing you learn when you are with the same guy for a long time? you anticipate their needs. Goodnight, son-in-law." "Night, father-in-law." Nathan grinned. Speaking of needs, Nathan felt sure that David was in need of a hot slice of apple pie topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Nathan popped a slice in the microwave and warmed the ice cream scoop with hot water from the faucet. When the pie was heated, he easily scooped out the vanilla and added it to the plate. For Phillip he prepared a slice of pumpkin. He had wanted to add some whipping cream to the top of it, but when he went looking for it he could not find it. Nathan then remembered Mike's talk about a banana split and gave up looking. So with the two slices of pie, Nathan made his way back to the office where both Philip and David were still sleeping but now with their arms wrapped around each other. To wake David up, Nathan took a spoonful of the ice cream and moved it against David's lips. David responded by letting his tongue snake out and licked the cold cream off his lips. Nathan then took a spoonful of the hot pie and brought it under David's nose. This seemed to do the trick as David's mouth formed a wide smile. "If you hand that pie over to me now, I'll let you live for breaking one of the best wet dreams I've had in weeks," David chuckled. "Yeah? I was enjoying all that poking," Philip complained as he and David pulled the sheets off themselves, showing off their hard-ons. "I brought both of you pie," Nathan explained as he handed them the plates. "Thanks." Philip grinned as he began eating. "Thanks love? you even heated it up for me," David said as he rubbed his nose against Nathan's. "Where's your pie?" Philip asked Nathan once he was in the middle of them again. "I already ate it." "You couldn't wait for us," David pouted. "He must have been really hungry," Phillip explained between bites. "I know I am." "No? I ate it while talking to uncle Mike," Nathan began. "Oh? what did you and my dad talk about?" David asked curious. "About the future? him? Patrick? you? and me" "And what did he say about us?" David asked nervously. "That pretty soon you will really need me," Nathan said, his eyes glimmering with wetness. "What's wrong, Nate?" Philip asked concerned. "Philip? can you leave me alone with Nate for a bit. We need to talk in private." "Sure? I'll go get myself another slice of pie," Philip excused himself, carrying his now empty plate with him. Once they were alone, David whispered; "Dad told you about the deal." "Yes," Nathan whispered back. "If I can find out who killed Thomas I'm going to take it." "Why not fight it." "Nathan? they have my phone call on tape. I'm not going to tell you what I said but any juror would find it threatening." "But at least get rid of the other charge." "The lawyers are working on that one but still even if it is dropped I'm looking at a year in jail? six months with probation." "David, I want you to know that it won't change how I feel about you. I love you." "I love you too. It's just I think you can do better than an ex-con." "David! I'm sorry you are going to jail, but you better not even think that I'm going to leave you for it or even worse that you don't deserve me!" Nathan said, almost wanting to punch David. "But!" David protested. "No buts! It's me that feels undeserving. You've wanted to date me for years and what did I do? I took advantage of your love." "No you didn't," David said, now the calm one. "Then you agree not to dump me." "Yes? I just thought?" David blushed. "Well, you thought wrong, David," Nathan said as he jumped on top of David and began humping away at him. "Gosh? I should get you mad at me more often." David chuckled as he worked his boxers off. "Shut up, David," Nathan said as he worked his way down. "Where are the condoms?" David, not sure if he should speak up, reached under his pillow and grabbed the wrapped condom hidden there. He then handed it to Nathan. Nathan tore it open with his teeth and took the condom out but instead of putting on his partner's dick like David expected, he rolled it on his own. It was only when Nathan began raising David's legs in the air did David realize what Nathan was about to do. "Ummm Nate? where's the lube?" David asked nervously. "Lube? I thought you were a tough guy." Nathan laughed. "I'm tough on the outside, but tender on the inside. Please, use lube," David begged. "Ok? where is it?" David reached under Philip's pillow, but could not find the bottle. "I can't find it." "Then I guess we will just have to do without." Nathan smiled evilly. "No please don't," David said panicked as he felt Nathan's cock press against his hole. David expected a lot of pain but surprisingly Nathan eased in smoothly. "Got ya!" Nathan laughed, squirting David's chest with the lube he had kept hidden. "Hey?" David tried to protest but stopped when Nathan's cock hit a certain spot inside him. "Oh man?.." "You liked that?" Nathan laughed as he kept going over the same spot over and over again, causing David's cock to jerk with each rub against his prostate. "I see the two of you have kissed and made up." Philip grinned as he walked in. "Where do you want me? I see a free ass and a free cock." "Nate's ass is mine" David declared. "You better believe it is, love," Nathan said he kissed the side of David's left foot. "OK? then I know where I'm needed." Philip grinned. He climbed on top of David so the two of them could suck each other off. Now most adult gay men would have considered what Philip had done as intruding but for Nathan and David, who were kids with adult bodies for all practical purposes, Philip's joining in was just adding to the fun. The difference between friendship and relationship had yet to mature in their minds. Philip was their friend, which made the sex feel better than if they had asked a complete stranger into their bed. Philip, for his part, enjoyed the acceptance he had from David and Nathan, something that had been missing in his own home. He was madly in love with both of them and while he knew that he could not put himself between Nathan and David, he wanted to be as much part of their lives as possible. After they exhausted each other and were back to snuggling David told Philip where things stood. He would take the plea bargain and go to jail for at least six months. David wanted both Philip and Nathan to look out for each other while he was gone. Philip said he would. Philip also knew that if ever there was a chance to steal Nathan from David it would be while David was in jail. The very fact that such a thought occurred to him filled Philip with disgust. He would rather go off and find his own boyfriend than try to break up the threesome they had going. Who knows? they could try and make it a foursome.
