The Wounds Within My Heart Chapter 28 Nohea Over the next couple of days, Pietro and I spent time with my family. We would also go over to Bryan and Amy's house to visit with them and with Lexy for a while. It was a lot of fun, and we of course spent time alone with each other enjoying one another's bodies and making each other feel really good. Pietro and I also spent some time at night doing more anal play. We had been doing that for a few weeks, but we practiced more during the few days we were at my house. Finally, the night before New Years Eve, Pietro asked me about when I'd feel comfortable going all the way with him. I had been thinking about us doing that more and more, and wanted to find a good time to ask him about it. Clearly he had beaten me to it, and I felt butterflies in my stomach when he brought up the subject. We were laying in bed that night after making love for a long while. I was resting against my lover with my head on his chest when he moved to get his device, then I turned to lay on my back. I waited for him to finish typing. I turned to him once he finished talking, and we shared a long kiss. "I'd really love to do that soon," I said. "I've thought about that a lot, and I want it to be really special between us like you said a moment ago." "Do you know of a good time where and when we could do it?" Pietro asked. "I'll have to think about that, and I wonder if my dad would have any advice," I replied. "Would you feel comfortable with me or the both of us talking with him about it? He's accepting of us being sexual with each other, and I know your parents and sister are too. Also, we could do it either here, or at your house. Obviously, we would probably want to make sure that everyone was either asleep, distracted or out of the house. I wouldn't want us getting interrupted or someone walking in on us. Maybe we could do it on the weekend so we would have more time to experience everything." "You're right about that, and I think we could ask him about it," Pietro answered. "Cool," I said. We kissed again, then drifted off to sleep. The next morning, Beth came over to get a list my dad wrote out. It was a list of groceries that were going to be for New Years. We would be celebrating that night. Pietro's parents and sister already had plans to go with a few other members of the family, otherwise we would have had them over. Beth also took Triston with her since he wanted to get ice cream from the ice cream shop that was next door to the grocery store. Pietro was in the kitchen getting lunch for us, and I was now in my dad's home office. He came in and I asked him about what Pietro and I talked discussed the night before. "I'm glad you came to me about this," he said putting his arm around me as he leaned back on the couch. "It sounds like you're of the belief that this part of sex is the most special. Some people say that if you've already done oral sex or mutual masturbation then you've already had sex, and they're probably right." "Yeah, I've heard that too," I replied. "That being said, I do still think that when you're to the point of actual intercourse whether it be gay or straight, then that's the most special and intimate part of making love," Dad went on. "I feel the same way," I answered. "I can't really tell you when the exact time is that you'll know when you're ready," Dad said. "That's really something that only you and Pietro can truly know for sure. You said that you've thought a lot about wanting to do it for a while now. Do you have any fear about it?" "No," I said. "I mean, there's a little nervousness, but it feels like it's mixed more with excitement than anything else. Sometimes I wonder if I'll be able to do a really good job once we're actually in the middle of going all the way. I hope Pietro will really love everything we're doing." "I imagine that he probably will," Dad said. "With you guys practicing getting each other loosened up, and taking your time, I'm sure that you'll both have a really enjoyable experience with it." "Thanks," I answered. We talked a little more about it, and once Pietro joined us, the two of us felt even more at ease with things. We all three finished our conversation, then went into the kitchen to have lunch. 0000 Aiden I was really enjoying my Christmas Break. Though I had been back in school for a couple of weeks since being with Beth, I was glad to have that time off. Alex and I had been continuing to spend time together, and I knew as we kept hanging out that I was becoming deeply attracted to him. I was starting to feel like he felt the same. There would be times when he would put his arm around me when we'd be sitting beside each other in his room, or out on the couch when it would be just the two of us. When we spent the weekend together for the first time, which was right before Christmas, we slept in Alex's room. When he said that there would be enough room in the bed for both of us, I was surprised when he suggested us sleeping in bed together, but I did my best to hide my reaction. I agreed, and for the first twenty minutes or so I did my best to stay on my side of the bed as we talked about whatever came to mind. We had our shirts off, and were just in our boxers. Eventually though, I felt my eyelids growing heavy, and without realizing it, I scooted closer to Alex's side of the bed. I figured he'd nudge me away, or scoot further over to his side, but he just laid there. I shifted onto my side facing him, and felt myself getting closer to sleep. As I continued to lay there, Alex moved closer to me, and when I felt his arm gently drape around me, I couldn't resist. I moved closer and he snuggled me against him as if he had been waiting for the longest time to do that. It felt so right, me lying in Alex's arms and my head resting on his chest. It felt like I was meant to be in his arms, and though even a few short weeks ago I would have been disgusted at such a situation, I wasn't now. I wanted to be with him like that forever, and wished that that moment didn't have to end. I loved the feeling of Alex's warm skin against mine. It was so comforting and made me fall even quicker into sleep. The next night, which was Saturday evening, we were laying in bed after we had showered and brushed our teeth. I had brought up the stuff we had been watching the first time we got together at his house, when I first talked about that show Smothered that we saw. "Yeah, that was so fucked up," Alex said as he shifted onto his side to face me. I was on my back, and was enjoying the closeness as we talked. "That it was," I said in agreement. "Oh, then there was that show Love, Victor we watched next," Alex went on. "I mean, I don't know if you've watched much or any shows with LGBT characters before." "I haven't seen that show before," I answered. "I definitely wouldn't have watched stuff like that before I came to live with Beth." "I remember you telling me about how for a while you weren't accepting of LGBT people," Alex went on. "Yeah, it was a really fucked up way I looked at them," I answered. "I really don't like how I held those kinds of views, and I don't want to think like that ever again. I'm also really angry about how my family practically brought me up along with that church of theirs to believe that Bullshit." "I can imagine how hard that all must have been," Alex said. "I'm just glad you changed, and are continuing to better yourself. You've done a really good job of that." "Thanks," I answered. "That really means a lot." "No problem, and I'll always be here to support you," Alex responded. "That means a lot, and I'll always be here for you too," I said. Shifting onto my left side to face him, Alex reached out and put his arm around me. I moved closer and I gently placed my arm around him. "When we watched that episode, you probably remember that it was the one where Victor and his boyfriend were getting ready to make love right?" Alex said leaning his head closer so that his face was closer to mine now. "I remember that," I answered. "Did seeing that make you feel uncomfortable?" "No," he said. "What about you?" "No, I didn't feel uncomfortable seeing them like that," I said. "Have you ever wondered what it would be like being with another guy like that? Do you ever think about how it would feel making love with a guy instead of with a girl?" "I really haven't thought about being with a girl romantically or sexually," Alex replied. "Honestly, I don't think that I'm into girls at all. I figured I'd get married to a woman when I got to be an adult, but that was mainly like how a kid thinks that one day they'll be in the career field they're mom or dad are. Honestly, when I saw those two boys on the show like that, I got hard as fuck!" "Yeah, me too," I answered. "I loved how it sounded when they were kissing. Normally I can't stand listening to people on TV kiss, but those two really got to me!" By this time, we were pressed against each other, and we had both arms wrapped tightly around one another as we kept talking. My cock was hardening rapidly, and I could feel Alex's own hardness pressing against me. It felt so good! "I loved hearing them kiss as well," Alex said. "It especially got me hard!" "I know exactly how you feel," I responded. Alex's forehead was resting gently against mine, and I could feel his breath against my face when he spoke again. "Yeah, I know you do," he said just above a whisper. We pressed against each other making our hard cocks leak more and more. A part of me wanted to not go any further, as we were still getting to know each other. The other part, the even larger part of me, wanted us to just start making out and fucking right there. I could sense that Alex felt the same way, and I began rubbing Alex's back up and down slowly and gently. He did the same, and as we moved to wrap our legs around each other bringing our erections even closer, a loud screech of tires sounded from outside. "Slow down Mother Fucker!" a guy screamed. "Fuck you Whore!" a girl screamed back as two cars sped by. We both sprang apart as we laughed hard struggling to keep it down as Alex's parents were asleep by that time. "Damn," I said still laughing. "Is your street always this entertaining and lively at night like this?" "Sometimes," Alex said, still laughing as well. With that, our sexual tension was broken. My cock began softening and was now flaccid. I figured that Alex was in the same situation. We lay on our backs for a moment, then I scooted closer to my friend checking to see what he might do. He instantly turned onto his side and snuggled me once again. I put my arm around him as well, and rested my head against his chest. We then said good night to each other, and were asleep within a few minutes. I thought about all that while sitting on my bed waiting for Alex to finish up with his shower. It was New Years Eve, and he was staying with Beth and I. He had come over the night before, and we enjoyed ourselves watching TV, and then talking for a while. We cuddled of course while in bed, then that morning as I awoke, I could feel Alex's erection pressing against my upper thigh. I wanted so badly to touch it, but thought better of doing so. He awoke a couple of minutes later, and we said good morning to one another. We then shared a hug, and after checking to see who wanted to shower first, I got out of bed. Entering the restroom, I got my shower, and made sure to be quick so Alex would have enough hot water. Waiting for Alex to return, I continued thinking about what was happening between the two of us. I wanted to see if things would go beyond friendship for both of us, and I felt like Alex felt the same. Of course, there was the physical affection we had for each other, as well as the fact we pushed our erections against each other the first weekend we spent together. I remembered the sudden noises outside that interrupted us, and I also thought about what would have happened had those two idiots not driven by. I imagined many scenarios. I imagined us lying there kissing and hugging passionately until we both came. Another scenario I thought of was Alex rolling on top of me while we helped each other off with our boxers. I could almost feel him shoving his tongue into my mouth, and our cocks together. I could almost feel the warmth of his skin as his beautiful body pressed against mine! I also imagined us doing a long and hot 69. Most of all though, I thought about us just cuddling and holding each other or lying in each other's arms. Alex returned from the restroom, and dressed quickly. We talked about what we wanted to do for the day, and we decided on visiting Nohea and Pietro for a couple of hours. They agreed when we asked them, and we got to their house later that day. They had just finished having lunch, and we had eaten a couple of hours before, so we didn't need to plan for food. We hung out in Nohea's room, and at certain points Triston joined us, though he was mainly focused on playing with his Legos in his room. He'd take us in there from time to time to show us what he built. There were a few tall towers and it was cool to see how he had made them out of blocks of all the same color. For example, he would make a green tower out of all green blocks, and so on and so forth. It was fun watching him work at it. Eventually there was a point where it was just Nohea and I. We were still in his room, but Pietro was in with their dad helping with preparing dinner. We had talked a few minutes before, and it was decided that Alex and I would be staying for dinner. I was really looking forward to that as was Alex. As I sat there with Nohea, I figured I'd tell him about how I was feeling about my best friend. So I told him everything, as well as ending it with asking him if he could keep it to himself. He agreed, and I asked what had been on my mind for a while. "Do you have any suggestions on how I'd ask Alex if he feels about me the way I feel about him?" I asked. "Well, since you said that he's basically admitted about not being attracted to girls, then I think that's half the battle right there," Nohea responded. "You might just want to ask him, and see what he says. Maybe ask him how he would feel if his best friend who's a guy had feelings for him, then go from there." "Thanks," I answered. "I'll think about that, and see how things turn out. I just know that I really like him, and when we're away from each other, I think about him all the time. Aside from the physical area of things, he's just a really nice person, and he's been really good to me." "Yeah, he is a really nice and caring person," Nohea replied. "I hope things work out for the two of you." "Thanks," I answered. "So do I. I'll keep you updated." "I appreciate that, thanks," Nohea said. "You're welcome," I responded. 0000 Nohea After a few minutes, Aiden went in to help with dinner. I let Dad know that I'd be in to help out in a few minutes. I answered a text from a couple of our other friends, as well as thought about what Aiden had shared with me. I truly did hope that things worked out for him and Alex. They were really good together, and I figured that they'd make a really cute couple. Our dinner that night was one that was a special one in honor of it being New Years Eve. We had pizza that we got delivered, though we prepared the other stuff before ordering it. We made wings as well as many quesadillas. There were also many tacos and a few different flavors of cheese cubes. We all really enjoyed it, and it was nice to be there with everyone that evening enjoying the food and each other's company. After dinner, Dad talked with Beth, as well as with Alex's parents. They talked with Aiden and Alex to see if they wanted to spend the night here at the house with us. They instantly agreed, and I was really happy that they'd be staying with us for that evening! We spent the rest of the night hanging out until it was time for the ball to drop. Gathering in the living room, we had about ten minutes before the main event. Dad got Champaign out, and said that we could all have a small glass, but just the one. He also had sparkling non-alcohol cider for us kids. Eventually it came down to the final moment, and we watched as the ball began dropping. Counting down, we got to one, and it was now the new year. "Happy New Year!" we all said. We all hugged, and toasted one another first with the glass of champaign Dad gave us. We then had some cider afterwards, and talked about how we hoped that we all would have a really nice year going forward in 2024! 0000 Alex For a while now, I had been thinking about how to bring it up to Aiden about how I felt about him. I knew he felt more than friendship for me. I wanted us to go beyond just friends, but trying to find the words was hard. I thought more about this, and as the New Year began, I felt like I figured out how to bring it up to him. We had returned to the room in which we would be staying that evening. We had visited with everyone for a little while after we toasted the new year, then Aiden said that he was starting to get tired. I figured that what he was really saying was that he wanted some alone time for the two of us. Now as we walked through the door to the bedroom, I closed it then stood watching as Aiden removed his shirt. He just had on his T-shirt and basketball shorts. He then removed the shorts, and was standing in only his boxers at this point. I removed my shirt and shorts as well, and we moved over closer to the bed, and I sat down beside him. I moved closer to him, and we hugged for a moment, then I moved slightly away from him and looked into his eyes. We had our arms loosely around one another, and the physical contact was truly wonderful! "You do know that there's a tradition most people do once the new year comes around, don't you?" I asked. "Yeah, I think so," Aiden responded as he brought his face slightly closer to mine. I smiled, and brought my face even closer, and Aiden put his hand gently on the back of my head. I did the same, and our faces moved closer. "I really want to feel my lips against yours Aiden," I said softly. Before either of us could say anything else, Aiden moved, closing the last inch, and I was experiencing my lips on those of another boy for the first time ever! Clearly our situation of how to approach our feelings for each other was working itself out just fine on its own. We deepened the kiss, and soon our arms were wrapped around each other as we moved to lay down on the bed. I was amazed at how good it felt to be with Aiden like this! I wanted to experience everything with him in that moment! All the things two boys could do together that was sexual, I wanted to do every bit of it without stopping! I was truly on fire for my best friend! Eventually though, we did have to come up for air. Aiden was the first to break the kiss, and we turned onto our sides. I just lay there. Aiden was spread across me, and he rested his head on my chest. It was absolute Heaven, us lying there like that! "I've wanted you to do that for the longest time," Aiden said lifting his head after a moment to look at me. "I've really liked you for a while now, since shortly after we first met." "I've liked you for a long time now too," I answered. "It's the same for me, and I wanted to kiss you like that since shortly after the first time I saw you. You're so cute, and really sexy!" "Thanks, and you're totally cute and definitely sexy as hell!" Aiden said. I leaned in and tenderly kissed him on the lips. He returned the kiss, then rested his head back on my chest. "So what's next?" I asked. "I don't mean right now, but where would you like to go with things with us? I mean, if there can be an "Us"?" "I totally want there to be an "Us"," Aiden replied looking up at me smiling. "I think we would be really good together!" "I think so as well," I answered. "Beth and the rest of the family would be accepting of me, and I hope your family would be the same for you too," Aiden said. "I think they would be," I replied. "We'll take it a day at a time," Aiden said. "I hope we can just be together for right now, and enjoy each other." "I'd really like that too," I answered. "Can we just cuddle for the rest of the night?" he asked softly looking deeply into my eyes. "We can definitely do that," I replied. After making sure the lights were off for the night, we brushed our teeth, urinated, then got into bed. I took Aiden in my arms, and we looked deeply into each other's eyes for a long moment before exchanging several long and deep kisses. Eventually I broke the kiss, and rested my forehead on Aiden's. 0000 Aiden When Alex and I kissed that New Years, it felt so right. It felt like something that had been missing within me for all my life had been completed! It was like coming home! As we kissed, hugged and caressed each other's upper bodies, I knew that Alex was the one for me! I was glad that he felt the same! I felt totally on top of the world in that moment! I knew that with Alex Guerrero by my side, I could get through anything! After our talk about where to go from that point, I lay there with Alex resting his forehead against mine. We looked deeply into each other's eyes, and I could feel the intense as well as infinite love he had for me! Alex then kissed me again, and I returned the kiss. After exchanging a couple of kisses on the cheek, we both just lay there holding each other. "Happy New Year Alex," I said resting my head on my best friend and soul mate's chest. "Happy New Year to you too hon," Alex replied kissing the top of my head. We both fell asleep within a few minutes in each other's arms. It was the best night of my life! 0000 At the same time Alex and Aiden slept, there was a small house that had been reinforced with not only sound-proofing, but also with four inches of indestructible metal within the walls. Within the right corner of the floor to the right of the door into the building was a trap door hidden strategically so as not to be seen. It was accessed with a remote-control device programmed with a code. The same remote unlocked and opened the door to the building as well. This house was deep in the woods within an area of the country side an hour away from the city of Sangger. Within the main floor of the reinforced house were three rooms. The first room one entered when walking into the house was a small office. Against each wall sat a desk, and if one walked straight ahead past the desks, a doorway led into the second room. The second room had a large table, and various interrogations were held within the room. The doorway across from the entry of the room lead into the last room which was a file room. There was also a restroom within the third room. The four rooms within the basement, accessed through the trap door, were the main nerve center of the house though. Once one entered the basement through the door, there was a set of steps. Once past the steps, there was a hallway. Two rooms were on the right side, and the other two were on the left. Straight ahead was a door leading into a subbasement. Within the first room on the right were where various instruments were stored. The second room on the right held medications and other substances that aided in getting unwilling people to talk. The first door on the left of the hall way was a room where cleaning supplies were housed. To the right within the second room were various restraining devices as well as beds and chairs specifically designed so that those restraints could be attached. Once in the subbasement, one went down three flights of stairs. Once at the bottom of the stairs, a small hall way lead into a large room. Within this large room, there were two tables. Both were next to each other in the center of the room. They were basically the usual operating tables seen in any surgical operating room. They were both fitted with several straps, two for the wrists, two for the ankles and one strap for the chest. Attachments where one's head would rest were connected to the table to which a frame could be hooked up to immobilize one's head. In the right corner of the room across from the entrance sat a dental chair with the same set-up of straps. On the left side of the room in the corner was a large empty space where the above-mentioned restraints and chairs could be placed. There was a door next to the dental chair to the left of it. Through this door there was a small hallway. Within this hallway, there was a door that led into another room. Once inside this last room, there was equipment used for disposing of subjects. This was useful especially for eliminating subjects when interrogations got to the fatal point. It wasn't just for disposing of uncooperative subjects, but it was also for those who needed to be dispatched, and quickly as well as secretly. Within the first room of the house, there was a series of two rapid beeps from a monitor next to the door leading into the building. A third longer beep sounded, and a red light switched to green as an electronic pass key was entered then removed from the card reader within a panel beside the door. Two figures entered the building, and once the door was shut and the automatic lock engaged once again, a computer screen on the table to the right came to life. On the screen there was print that popped up. "Accessing subject list, please wait," the screen read. The first person sat down at the computer, and once in the record they began typing. Once finished, the information was immediately airdropped to the second person's smart phone. The second person unlocked their phone, and looked at the screen, opening the subject tracking app. 0000 Number of Subjects: Two. Sex of Subject One: Male. Sex of Subject Two: Female. Reason for Tracking: Both Subjects have since been accused and confirmed to be participating in administration of the behavior modification procedure known as Applied Behavior Analysis to one known person. Others suspected, but not confirmed. Plan: Detainment of both subjects for questioning, both for the known child and the other suspected children. Should all others be confirmed, full sequence will be initiated to handle the problem. Should they not be confirmed, full and permanent isolation will be implemented in regards to the first child for whom the accusations have been confirmed. 0000 Now on the screen of the second person's smart phone, the text disappeared leaving a blue screen. In its place, there appeared two photos. On the right was a photo of a man, and on the left was the woman's photo. Above the man's photo read the name Randy Masterson. Above the woman's read the name Carla Smith. Beneath their photos read the caption: "Location of subjects is known, and immediate apprehension now commenced." 0000 It was now nearing 1:00 A.M. on New Years Day. David Swanson sat in his office with the door closed and locked. At his desk, he was sitting in his desk chair. He looked down at his phone, reading the report on Carla and Randy. He then looked at their photos, and the caption below. Once he tapped to close the app, he put the phone back in the locked section of his desk. It was in Sleep-Mode, but his smart watch would send him three short vibrations and one long vibration to alert him to any in-coming texts or E-mails from the secured secret line to which the second phone was connected. Once completed, David exited his office locking it up for the night. He then checked on everyone, and once done he went in and got in bed for the evening. Author's Notes I'm sure you're all glad to see Aiden and Alex getting together. I can also imagine that you're anxious to see what happens between Nohea and Pietro when they go all the way for the very first time. You'll get to see that here soon. As for what was going on at the end of this chapter, this is the beginning of what's going to happen with Carla and Randy who were hurting Triston. You'll see them get what's coming to them in the next chapter. As for the next chapter, we'll begin with Book Four which is titled Into the Darkness. So keep an eye out for that, and I hope you guys enjoy it. Everyone have a good day, and I hope you're all doing well. I'll see you all in Chapter one of Book Four.
