Chapter 2

 

Monday morning came quicker than either Gabriel or Adrian wanted. They both were hoping to have more time to spend together before beginning another hectic week of work but it was not to be. Adrian had to get to the office because he was still negotiating a new deal and Gabriel had to check in with headquarter about a new assignment. Reluctantly they got out of bed to shower and dress before going to wake the boys.

 

When they walked into the kitchen, breakfast was just being put on the table. They greeted the others with a good morning as they sat down and filled their plates. They had just begun eating when the phone started ringing. Knowing it could only be one person; everyone groaned but kept eating and paid it no mind. A few minutes later Jeffrey appeared and laid a message next to Gabriel's plate but he just ignored it and continued on with his breakfast.

 

When breakfast was over Alonzo helped with clearing the table before taking his brothers to the game room so his fathers could make some calls. Apparently Gabriel's calls weren't major because he came out fifteen minutes later and fed Tony a bottle while he waited for Adrian. While waiting, their nanny Jeanette arrived with her three year old son to take care of the boys. She greeted everyone with a good morning and introduced Deon (pronounce Dee-on) before having a discussion with Gabriel concerning anything she needed to know about her new charges.

 

It took Adrian another forty minutes before he came out of his office. After welcoming Jeanette and Deon, plus filling in what Gabriel haven't told her yet, they left for their office. Half way there Gabriel's cell started ringing. Since he was driving, he gave it to Adrian to answer for him. "Hello."

 

The sighed that came from Adrian let him know who was calling. "I'm sorry Louisa, but Gabe isn't available to talk at the moment because he's driving. Is there anything I can do for you, or would you like for me to give him a message?" There was a short pause before Adrian spoke again. "No problem. I'll let him know to give you a call when he can."

 

Adrian hung up and handed the phone back to Gabriel who pocketed it. "I'm guessing she called to demand that I talk to her so she can order me to stop my perverted fantasy lifestyle and go back to Jalisa?"

 

"You got it in one." Adrian sighed again. "She's never going to stop trying to run your life because she thinks her way is the right way. And since it's the right way, then it must be the only way. She's going to do everything she can to get you to believe that."

 

"Not if I block her number." Gabriel smiled devilishly. "I can even get my number changed, but I don't want to do that and have Alonzo memorize a new one. I wish she'd accept that this time she won't be getting her way before I have to resort to drastic measures."

 

"I wish you luck with that." Adrian laughed sarcastically. "After all, she considers herself the queen of the family who should be obeyed by her children with no arguments. You refusing her demands is like a slap in the face to her position, and that's something she isn't going to stand for."

 

Gabriel shrugged indifferently. "Maybe, Maybe not, but it doesn't really matter though! I know I'm where I belong and there's nothing she can do about it. Like I told them on Saturday; they'll be the ones losing out if they can't accept our relationship.

 

It'll hurt if I have to cut any member of my family off from any contact with me or the boys, but I will if that's what it comes down to. I have my own family that I need to put first and foremost. Everyone else is secondary to that, and I wouldn't have it any other way." He then smiled and reached over to take Adrian's hand.

 

Adrian smiled back and squeezed Gabriel's hand affectionately. The rest of the ride was done in silence with each one just enjoying the other's company. After arriving at their office building and parking the SUV in the underground garage, they walked in together followed by their security. When they reached Gabriel's floor, he gave Adrian a kiss and said that he'll see him later before stepping off the elevator heading for his office. Adrian rode one more floor up to the top then got off himself. He walked into his corporate office and found Judy already there. They greeted each other good morning as he continued on to his office.

 

He was in the middle of checking his messages when Judy brought in his coffee. "Thanks Judy. Any news from Mr. Wilson on the Woodlake Apartments deal yet?" He asked before taking a sip of his coffee.

 

As usual she blushed at Adrian's appreciation for her. "You're welcome. And no, we didn't hear anything about that yet. However, you did get a reply on the deal for the Alexander House one though. The message should be on your desk."

 

"Yes, I did see that one." Adrian confirmed. "I'll take care of it when I have the chance to get around to it. Right now I need to get ready for a meeting with your husband to discuss my investments. Then I need to check the accounts for the clubs, place some orders, and pay some bills."

 

"Okay, well I'll let you get to it then." Just then the phone on her desk started to ring. She quickly left Adrian's office to answer it leaving him to finish checking his messages.

 

On the floor below, Gabriel just finished checking his own messages and was looking over some accounts of his own. At the same time he was also doing late approval of payrolls. Payday was coming up and he wanted to get the checks out on schedule. He likes keeping payday on time so his employees don't get behind in their own bills. By the time he had approved the last one, it was time to meet with his superior. He locked up his office and left for the local HQ in Washington letting Kandyce know on his way out.

 

He arrived early which gave him time to converse with some of his colleagues. Many of them could see his happy demeanor which they haven't seen in a while but it was his partner and close friend Jaylen (Jay) who had the courage to enquire. "What's got you so happy?"

 

Being that he was out to certain people at work, including his partner, Gabriel saw no reason to hide anything from him. "Nothing, except that I divorce Jalisa and got back together with the love of my life and put my family back together again."

 

"Well, it's about damn time!" Jay merely shouted. "You should have had that done a year or so ago. We all knew she wasn't the one for you, and the marriage was doomed from the beginning. Your heart belongs and always will belong with Adrian. We all were just waiting for you to accept that reality."

 

"I accepted that reality long ago but let my parents influence my relationship." Gabriel admitted. "I wanted and needed their approval but that's not the case anymore. I finally opened my eyes and realized that the only thing they care about is getting what they want. I have my own family now and I need to put them first and not my parents."

 

Jay patted him on the shoulder. "Good. Now maybe you can exert more effort into work. For the past two years your mind had been somewhere else on the job most of the time and I want my old partner back. The one who does his job well but don't take it too seriously. I love working with that guy."

 

Before Gabriel could respond they were called into their superior's office. Once they had closed the door and taken a seat, their superior handed them a file. "Here is your new assignment. I want you on a plane by 3pm tomorrow. You will be met at the airport by an agent Rodriguez who will escort you to your base of operation. He'll also provide you with the necessary equipments and any new development that happens between now and then. Do you have any questions?"

 

"No sir." They both replied. They were then dismissed for the rest of the day to prepare for the assignment. "I'll see you later Jay. I need to get back to my office to get some paper work done so my family will have all of my attention before we leave tomorrow."

 

Jaylen said he was going home to do the same. They walked out together and bumped fist before getting in their cars and leaving headquarters. When he got back to his office at Paradise Incorporated, Gabriel made some arrangements that will protect his family while he was gone. When he was completely sure he had everything covered he started on his paper work. It was lunch time when he'd finished so he called for takeout. He'd just hung up when Kandyce buzzed his office to let him know that Jeremy Wilson was there to see him. He told her to send him in which she acquiesced to.

 

Gabriel stood when Jeremy entered his office and they greeted each other and shook hands. He then gestured for Jeremy to have a seat as he took his then they got down to business. Once they had everything finalized, they concluded their meeting with another handshake. Gabriel then walked him down to his car because he was heading out to pick up his order.

 

When he returned he went straight up to Adrian's floor. He continued on to his office greeting Judy along the way. When Adrian heard footsteps, he looked up from his computer and smiled when he saw Gabriel coming through the door. Gabriel put the bags of food on the desk and leaned over to kiss him.

 

"Hey babe, I brought lunch. Do you want to eat in here or in the lounge?" Adrian opted for his office because he was in the middle of reviewing a contract. "That's fine with me. I'll set everything up while you finished up there."

 

"Thanks baby." Adrian replied. "Just give me five minutes to finish this and you'll have my undivided attention. What did you get for lunch?" He asked as he turned back to the computer.

 

Gabriel smiled as he laid the food out. "I had a craving for a bacon cheeseburgers and fries so I went to that shop that makes them big and juicy. Don't take too long because you don't want your food to get cold."

 

Adrian giggled. "Don't worry, I can do both." He then enforced that statement by taking a bite of his burger and going back to reviewing the contract. Gabriel started laughing.

 

As predicted, Adrian was done reviewing the contract within five minutes. The rest of lunch was spent enjoying each other company. Towards the end Gabriel finally confessed on his new assignment which didn't make Adrian happy but he didn't show it. He'd accepted that Gabriel's job would take him away from time to time long ago but the timing was just inconvenient at the moment. Gabriel was the only one who can stop Adrian from hurting his parents, and with him gone, Adrian wasn't sure he couldn't seriously harm them in some way.

 

Gabriel stayed a little longer than he planned but he didn't mind. He wanted to be with Adrian just as much as Adrian wanted to be with him. Like Adrian, Gabriel thought his new assignment couldn't have come at the worse time. Eventually he did leave so he could get some more work done before he leaves tomorrow. Throughout the afternoon both men minds was preoccupied with other things but they did managed to get caught up on their work. By the time five o'clock rolled around they were ready to go home.

 

When they got home, they quickly changed clothes before checking with Jeanette on how everything went with the boys. Jeanette gave them a positive summary on the day's activities and how glad she was that Theo and Deon had gotten along well. Adrian thanked her for taking care of the boys then excused himself to go and find Sean and Bryan. He didn't smell anything cooking and wondered what was the hold up with dinner. He found them in the kitchen and asked.

 

Before they could say anything, Gabriel walked in. "Because they're not making dinner tonight, I'm taking us out for dinner and a movie. I called them earlier to let them know so they wouldn't start cooking."

 

Adrian turned to him. "I should have known that!" He grinned sheepishly. "You always planned some type of a night out for us before you leave on assignment so we'll know that you'll be missing us as much as we'll be missing you while you're gone. I guess it's become a tradition now huh?"

 

Gabriel grinned back and put his arm over Adrian's shoulders. "Of course it has. You know I always have an incentive to keep my love ones believing I'll come home, and keeping your hope and dreams up is an incentive for me to come back. I know the little ones don't understand how dangerous my job is but I can always see the fear in yours and Alonzo's eyes when I go on assignments."

 

"It's just that... Never mind, I know I can't have it." Knowing what he was about to say, Adrian put a finger to Gabriel's lips. "Don't Gabe. Don't promise me that you'll come home safe because we both know there's a chance of that not happening and I won't let you make a promise that you can't keep. Just know that we love you and will be here waiting anxiously until you return."

 

Gabriel kissed him lovingly. "That's something I can never forget. Now go and get the boys ready so we can get going. I want to get some dinner before the movie starts."

 

Adrian nodded with a shaky smile and left to get the boys. Once he was gone, Gabriel closed his eyes and let out a deep sigh as Sean and Bryan looked on sympathetically. He took them to a nice little Mexican restaurant called Sol Azteca which everyone loves. They put several tables together to stay in a group before taking their seats with Jamy being put in a highchair. When the waiter came to take their orders, many of them ordered different combo dishes to share so they would have a bigger variety to choose from. When he had left to fill the order Adrian fed Tony a bottle as Alonzo looked at his Dad Gabe expectantly.

 

Gabriel raised a quizzical eyebrow at him. "What?" Alonzo returned it with an expecting one. "Alright, yeah, I'm going on assignment and wanted a family outing. I leave tomorrow and probably will be gone for a while but I'll be back. I..."

 

The glare from Adrian stopped Gabriel from saying something he might regret later as Alonzo nodded."That's what I thought. I realized long ago what these outings mean and why we have them. Any other time you would have told Dad Dray where we were going when he asked but this time you said nothing which meant you wanted it to be a surprise. The only time you do that is when you're going on an assignment and don't want any of us dwelling on it."

 

"When did you become so observant?" Gabriel proudly smiled at his oldest son for his cleverness. Alonzo just smiled back.

 

Adrian had just put Tony back in his carrier when their food arrived. They passed around all of the dishes so everyone could get what they wanted. Gabriel made sure that Theo had an extra napkin tucked in his shirt to keep from getting food all over his clothes as Adrian did the same with Jamy. Just as they were starting to eat, their peaceful family outing was rudely interrupted by some unexpecting guess reaching for the two littlest ones.

 

Quick as a flash Adrian was grasping a hand and staring up into Mrs. Matthew's eyes dangerously. "Touch my son and I'll break this hand, understand?" He coldly threatened her.

 

Mr. and Mrs. Matthew were completely stunned at being caught. She never suspected that they were being watched nor the eye signal that Gabriel or Adrian got from their security alerting them to possible danger. She thought that they would be able to grab the boys and get away before anyone could comprehend what was happening.

 

Gabriel stood up blocking his father from Tony staring at him menacingly. "I suggest you step back from my son before I knocked you back, got it?"

 

Once again the Matthew's was shocked! They never heard the animosity or coldness that was coming from their son before and it scared them a little. As Gabriel stared his father down, Adrian also stood up and did the same with his mother. They were beginning to draw a crowd now but neither man cared the least bit. Their family outing had been ruin and they were furious!

 

"How dare you try to kidnap our boys!" Gabriel bellowed. "I should let Dray break both of your legs right now but I don't want our children seeing that kind of violence. This is the last time I'm telling you this, stay the hell away from my family! If you come anywhere near them again, I'll have your ass arrested and thrown in jail! Do I make myself clear!?"

 

Just then Tony started crying from all the shouting. Both dads turned to check on him only to see Alonzo picking him up that threw Mrs. Matthews in a fit of rage. "Take your filthy disgusting perverted little hands off my grandson you bastard! I don't want you contaminating him with your filth."

 

A hand came out of nowhere striking her in the face. Mr. Matthews tried to lunge at Adrian only to be shoved on his ass by Gabriel. Mrs. Matthews looked up from the floor into Adrian's blazed filled eyes with terror. "Listen here bitch! No one, and I mean no one, speaks to my son that way! If I ever hear another derogatory word towards me or my boys coming out of your mouth again, I'll do more than just split your lips!"

 

Once she had regained her composure, Mrs. Matthews slowly stood up and glared at her son. "Well don't just stand there Gabriel Matthews, kick his ass for striking your mother."

 

Gabriel smirked at her deviously. "I will do no such thing. In fact, I suggest you both leave before I hit you myself. You've been warned by the both of us before on how to talk to our children but didn't listen. Now you're looking for me to protect you after you tried to steal two of my kids. Well, that's not going to happen.

 

Now listen good because this is the last time I'm going to tell either of you. Stay away from our children or else I'll have you thrown in jail so fast that your ass will hit the concrete cell before your feet! I've made my decision and you've made yours. Now it's time for you both to go back home because you're not wanted here."

 

"Gabriel, listen to yourself." Mr. Matthews admonished his son. "Can't you see what Adrian is doing to you? You've never disrespected us like that, especially in public, until you met him. What happened to our terrific little boy that loved his parents who just wanted the best for him?"

 

Gabriel's eyes were now burning with fire. "He grew up and had a family of his own!" He nearly shouted at them. "You were the ones who created this scene by coming in here and trying to take my kids. I told you that you wouldn't like my decision if you made me choose between you and my family but you did it anyway. Now it's time for us to cut our losses and go our separate ways."

 

With that, Gabriel turned his back on his parents and attended to his boys. Adrian on the other hand had more to say. "By the way, if you ever come within a hundred feet of my boys again, I'll make you regret it for a very long time. Try me if you think I'm bullshiting! I won't have you upsetting Gabe and our kids anymore. He may go easy on you because you're his parents but I won't. Now turn around and walked out before I have you physically thrown out." Then he too turned his back on them and sat back down with his family.

 

Mr. and Mrs. Matthews just stood there unable to move and feeling humiliated. They looked at Gabriel and saw no recognition of their little boy anymore. Instead they saw a grown man with his own family who will put that family before anyone and anything else. They couldn't believe the changed in their son as Gabriel's full attention was on Adrian and the boys completely ignoring them. When they made no motion to leave, some of the security guys started to stand which finally got them moving.

 

Although he hid it from the children well, Adrian could see the hurt in Gabriel's eyes and vowed to do everything he could to take that pain away. As time went by Gabriel's mood started to improve. He wasn't going to let his parents ruin his last night with his family before he leaves. He needed to make the night great for Adrian and their boys. When it came time to pay the bill he was genuinely smiling once again. Once that was taken care of; they piled back into the trucks and headed for the Cineplex to catch their movie.

 

Although they just had dinner not too long ago, everyone brought snacks and drinks before they separated. Some of the security guys wanted to see the movie called The Transporter Refueled so entered a different theater and the others wanted to see so they stayed with the family. Half way through the movie, Tony fell asleep in Adrian's arms. Five minutes later, Jamy, who was on Gabriel's lap, joined his baby brother in dreamland.

 

They all met back up in the lobby after the movie and left for home. They had enjoyed their night out but it was now past the boys' bedtime and Alonzo had school the next day. After tucking the three little ones in bed, Gabriel and Adrian headed to their oldest room. They entered after getting the okay to come in to see Alonzo sitting up in bed and sat down on either side of him.

 

"We just wanted to see how you were doing after that spectacle with your grandparents in the restaurant tonight." Gabriel cautiously asked. "I know it couldn't have been pleasant to see."

 

Alonzo shook his head disappointedly. "I don't know why you keep calling them mine and Theo's grandparents when they constantly admit clearly that they don't see us that way and never will. All they care about is themselves and how society sees them regardless if others are miserable by it or not. But to answer your question, I'm fine. I didn't expect anything less than what happened, although I'm a little surprised at how fast Dad Dray moved when he struck your mom and the fact that he did it in public as well."

 

"I'm sorry you boys saw that but I'm not sorry I did it." Adrian stated half apologetically. "No one will talk to my sons in that type of manner as long as I have breath in my body, especially not in your presence. I expect them to show you the same respect that I insist on you showing them."

 

"That's why I made no move to stop him." Gabriel admitted. "It's also why I stood between him and my dad." He then told Alonzo some of the events from the day before. "So you see, she knew what would happen when she started the name calling but she did it anyway thinking that I would defend her but I didn't and won't. Your Dad Dray had every right to hit her; and she had it coming."

 

Alonzo smiled and nodded in agreement. The three talked more about what happened until the two fathers were assured that their son wasn't traumatized by the earlier occurrence. They hugged him goodnight then left for their own bedroom closing the door behind them. Adrian helped Gabriel with his packing before getting into bed themselves but their good night kiss showed them that their night wasn't over yet.

 

As soon as their lips touch, they felt the need to deepen the kiss so they slowly open their mouths allowing each other's tongues entrance. Adrian rolled over onto his back and Gabriel crawled on top of him laying between his legs as he slipped his tongue into Adrian's mouth. For several minutes they battled back and forth for domination while grinding their cocks together. After five minutes they came up for some much needed air before resuming the kiss.

 

They kissed for another ten minutes before Gabriel moved to suck on Adrian's neck still grinding their cocks together. Adrian grabbed a hold of both of his firm muscular cheeks to press their bodies even closer as he humped upward whenever Gabriel pressed down. The moans coming from him let Gabriel know that he was making his love feel good so he continued his ministration for several minutes before making his way down Adrian's body stopping along the way to give his nipples some attention.

 

He sucked the right one into his mouth biting semi hard and flipped his tongue over the sensitive nub making it fully erect. He then gave the left one the same treatment causing Adrian to squirm in blissful pleasure grasping handful of sheet. Slowly he continued kissing his way down Adrian's stomach bypassing his cock until he reached Adrian's balls. He sucked first one then the other into his mouth giving them a thorough tongue bath before taking them both at once.

 

"Oh god yes Gabe, suck my balls." Adrian moaned breathlessly. As he worked over the big orgs, Gabriel lifted Adrian's legs to his chest so he could get to his inner most sanctum. After popping out the balls, Gabriel licked his way to Adrian's rosebud licking around the hole while applying pressure. Instantly, Adrian opened up to allowed his man access to his most intimate region. "Damn that feels so good baby, god how I have missed that tongue of yours."

 

He grabbed onto Gabriel's head still squirming and pushed him deeper into his hole wanting to feel all of the tongue inside of him. Gabriel obliged and probe deeper munching like a starving man eating the finest cuisine of his life. He sucked on Adrian's lips as he stabbed and twirled his tongue around the inside making sure to lick every inch of the best love tunnel he had ever rimmed bringing his love closer to the edge. Letting go of Gabriel's head, Adrian grabbed a hold of his own legs bringing them down by his head and raising his ass higher in the process. Gabriel grabbed onto his firm cheeks spreading them apart to get in as deep as he can go.

 

When Gabriel thought Adrian had all the torment he could withstand, he pulled out his tongue and worked his way up to Adrian's cock and took it into his mouth while sticking two fingers up his asshole until he reached his prostate. He gently massaged the spot as he deliberately bobbed his head up and down slowly taking all of Adrian's thick nine and a half inches to the base. He then used his throat muscles alternating between squeezing Adrian's cockhead and bobbing his head as he slipped a third finger in. Shortly after; Adrian reached nirvana going over the edge with white stars shining in his eyes.

 

"Yes, yes, oh god yes, I'm coming!" He merely shouted as his body shook from his orgasm. Gabriel pulled back just in time to catch the sweet nectar in his mouth so he wouldn't choke. He swallowed every last drop of cum that shot out not letting any escape.

 

As Adrian laid there recovering from an awesome orgasm, Gabriel pulled his mouth off of Adrian's cock and his fingers from his ass. He crawled up the bed keeping Adrian's legs over his shoulders and kissed him deeply while slipping his rock hard thick ten and a half inches in up to the hilt with ease. Adrian wrapped his arms around Gabriel's neck and shoulders to deepen the kiss still shaking from his orgasm and Gabriel's cockhead rubbing over his prostate. That threw Gabriel off balance causing his cock to sink in even deeper.

 

He smiled down at Adrian as he waited for him to get reacquainted with his pleasure stick before beginning a slow in and out motion. Adrian threw his head back in ecstasy as he gave himself over to the one who own his body, mind, and soul. Gabriel made sure Adrian was enjoying their intimacy as well as he was by hitting his prostate on every inward stroke.

 

"Does that feel good baby?" He smiled knowingly. "Mmm, mmm." Was All Adrian could get out to confirm that it was. "I know because it feels good for me too. I was such an idiot to give up this hot tight tunnel of pleasure. My cock was made for no one else's hole but yours. It's great to be home where I belong."

 

Adrian looked up at Gabriel with love and lust in his eyes. "And my hole was made for your cock, and no one else's. It's great to have you home where you belong." He chanted out between breaths using his rectal muscles to return the pleasure. That urged Gabriel to increase his strokes as he leaned down to kiss Adrian again driving them both even wilder.

 

Back and forth they battled with their tongues as they cemented their love for each other. Neither man wanted the love making to ever end. Adrian's anal muscles squeezing his cock were giving Gabriel as much fulfillment as Gabriel's cock was doing for Adrian's inner being. His hands roamed all over Gabriel's stone hard chest squeezing the muscles and pinching the nipples sending his man into a frenzy of eroticism. Gabriel sped up his thrust raking his big mushroom head over Adrian's joy button every time sending volts of sexual stimulations throughout his whole body. Wanting and needing even more stimulation, Adrian raised his ass higher encouraging Gabriel to fuck him harder. Gabriel took the hint and got into a pushup position to begin pounding away at the body beneath him!

 

For over an hour and a half they fucked in every position imaginable, their sweaty bodies intertwined as they took each other to heights of pleasure that no other could have ever taken them. They each had one orgasm a piece throughout their escapade but remained hard through it all. Neither man could believe the stamina the other has, nor did they care! They just enjoyed the ride to the end luxuriating in the blissful torment that was being bestowed upon them by their soul mate. As they approached their final relief as Adrian rode Gabriel's cock like there was no tomorrow; with Gabriel holding Adrian's waist as he thrusted upward on every downward bounce Adrian made, they stared lustfully into each other eyes contented that they were satisfying the other needs. It was another half an hour later with a final bounce and thrust when the gates of heaven open allowing them to enter. Adrian threw his head back as he came all over Gabriel's chest and stomach with some even hitting his face. Meanwhile, Gabriel was delivering all of his offering inside of Adrian as Adrian grinded his ass down on Gabriel's lap accepting every single drop. A continuous moaned came from both guys mouth as their bodies shook from the exquisite sensation.

 

Exhausted, Adrian collapsed on top of Gabriel with both of them breathing heavily. Gabriel wrapped him up in his arms as their bodies continued shaking from their energetic ride. They lay that way trying to catch their breaths as they came down from their high and basked in the afterglow of their coupling. Five minutes later Gabriel could hear Adrian's soft snores indicating that he had fallen asleep so he pulled the covers back over them and joined him in slumber.

 

They woke early the next morning realizing that they were glued together from the previous night's activities. After gently pulling themselves apart, they jumped in the shower where round two took place except this time Gabriel was on the receiving end. He wanted to fully consummate their rekindled relationship before he once again put his life in possible danger trying to make the world they live in a safer place for his love ones.

 

As they roamed their hands all over each other's body soaping one another up, their lower region began to rise. They continued with their ministration as they began kissing building up the passion between them. Gabriel broke the kiss and turned around and leaned against the wall looking lustfully over his shoulder with his ass sticking out needing to feel his man inside of him. Seeing the offer on display, Adrian accepted the invitation and started fingering Gabriel's asshole. Gabriel moaned as he pushed back onto Adrian's finger loving the feeling but wanting something much bigger.

 

"Stop teasing me Dray!" He begged. "Stick that big cock in and make love to me. I need to feel you in me real bad. Give me what I need baby."

 

That plead could only have led to one course of action. Without a word, Adrian pulled his fingers out and replaced them with his steal rod. Gabriel threw his head back with a moan of delight as he was penetrated by his true love for the first time in two years. Once he was completely in, Adrian waited for Gabriel to adjust as his anal muscles spasm around Adrian's cock. A few minutes later he pushed backward signaling that he was ready so Adrian began pulling out slowly. When he had nothing but the head inside, he thrust in forward up to the hilt.

 

They began to work in unison as they danced again. Every time Adrian thrusted forward, Gabriel pushed backward to get every inch that he desired. The hard thrusting that Gabriel was receiving told him that not only was Adrian making love to him but was also punishing him for ever leaving him. Gabriel accepted the punishment like a man hoping it will wash away both of their pain and purified their souls. He even insisted Adrian fuck him harder knowing that Adrian was going easy on him so he wouldn't get hurt.

 

"Harder Dray, fuck me harder!" He begged and Adrian obliged. "That's it, punish my ass baby. I deserve it all for leaving you. Take your anger out on that hole and make us both one again!"

 

"Damn right I am!" Adrian grunted. "I'm going to fuck the doubt out of you and show you who you belong with. I want you to remember whose heart you have, and who has yours. I love you Gabe; and I won't ever let you leave again, understand?"

 

All Gabriel could do was nod and submit to his punishment. Adrian pounded him mercifully and he accepted it all. For over an hour Adrian vented all of his anger out on Gabriel's ass in every position that would allow the deepest thrust. Luckily they have an unlimited supply of hot water because they were in there for quite a while. Towards the end, Gabriel ended up on his back with his legs spread wide and ass in the air as Adrian drilling him from above in a pushup position when they both felt their orgasm coming on. A few thrust later it hit them so violently that they almost passed out from the intensity of it.

 

They laid there on the shower room floor until they had recovered before getting up on wobbly legs. After a long sensuous loving kiss of forgiveness being offered and accepted, they finished their shower. Once they were dressed, they began their usual routine of waking the boys and dressing the little ones before going down to breakfast.

 

Just as they had finished eating breakfast, Jeanette arrived to look after the boys. As Gabriel informed her of his assignment Adrian loaded his bags into the SUV. They then said goodbye to the boys with Gabriel bestowing each one some extra love and affection before he and Adrian left for the office. It will be some time before he sees them again and he wanted them to remember how much he loves them all. At the same time he wanted a commitment from his eldest in helping his Dad Dray with looking after his brothers while he was gone which Alonzo didn't hesitate in giving him.

 

Since they came in early today, they had to let themselves in the building. Any other time they would have stayed home to send Alonzo off to school but Gabriel had work on his desk he needed to catch up on before he leaves. Adrian didn't have much work to be done so he got off on Gabriel's floor with him. Even though he'd be taking Gabriel to the airport Adrian wanted as much time with him as he can get.

 

At the Matthews-Morison's residence, DMoney and Julian had just handed over childcare duty to EJ's nanny Marianne and was about to leave for work when the doorbell rang. They said goodbye to her and headed to answer the door on their way out. Just as DMoney got the door opened, Louisa Matthews shoved her way into the house followed by her husband. Both men rolled their eyes and went back in closing the door behind them. They entered the living room where the couple were waiting for them and just stood there not saying anything waiting for the rampage to begin. As usual it was Mrs. Matthews who started.

 

She stared defiantly at Julian as she made her demand. "Listen very carefully because I'm only going to say this once! Stay the hell away from my son because I don't like the kind of influence you're having on him. We're trying to convince him to do the right thing and put his family back together so he can raise his children properly.

 

I don't care how you raise your own son, but Gabriel will not raise his two boys immorally! We raised him to have more respect for himself then that and you're setting a bad example for him. Don't make me have to get your parents involve because you know I will! Just mind your own damn business and don't interfere in Gabriel's life again!"

 

The more Mrs. Matthews talked the angrier Julian got. By the time she was done, Julian was furious and it showed in his voice and expression. "I suggest you watch your tone when you're speaking to me in my own house lady!" He shouted. "Because just like Adrian, I have no qualms in slapping the shit out of you, and that includes you ever saying anything derogatory about my son as well.

 

Now, if Gabriel ever needs someone to just listen and not judge him, then I'm going to be there for him, just like he's always been there for me. I don't give a shit on how you see me living my life and raising my son. And apparently neither does Gabriel, or you wouldn't be here trying to threaten me. You can tell my parents any damn thing you want because I don't answer to anyone but myself. Now I suggest you get the hell out of my house before you'll be picking your teeth up off the floor!"

 

Mr. Matthews was about to step between his wife and nephew when DMoney raised an eyebrow at him. "Do you really want to take that risk old man?"

 

The threat was very clear and froze Mr. Matthews in his tracks. Mrs. Matthews was about to respond but the fury on Julian's face shut her up quickly. He and DMoney stood aside to let Mr. and Mrs. Matthews to pass as DMoney motioned for them to leave. Grunting with annoyance that they weren't getting their way with either member of their family, the Matthews' stormed out with tremendous agitation burning in them.

 

Meanwhile in the house, DMoney wrapped his arms around Julian and rubbed his back to calm him and solidify his emotional state. He hates when his husband is upset for any reason and right now Julian was finding it hard to restrain his anger. He just returned the embrace and allowed himself to be consoled until he had regained his composure. When DMoney was confident that his man was fully composed once again, he released him from the hug and they left for work.

 

Things went smoothly for everyone for the rest of the morning. However, DMoney did occasionally check up on Julian discretely examining his emotional state until he was assured it was stabled. They broke for lunch around noon and headed out for some pizza. Adrian and Gabriel on the other hand had a meal of subs and fries with Jeremy Wilson in his office conducting some business that Gabriel had set up. He wanted to finalize his arrangements he made for when he's out of town.

 

An hour later Adrian drove Gabriel to Dulles airport to catch his flight. He parked in the short term lot so he could walk in with him so they could have more time together. After Gabriel picked up his ticket from the counter, they headed for the terminal lounge near his departure gate spotting Jaylen already there waiting as they approached. When he saw them coming his way, he stood up smiling and pulled Adrian into a warm hug in which Adrian reciprocated.

 

"Hey there bud, long time no see. I'm so happy to see you two guys back together again. Barbra and I had been waiting for this ever since you broke up because we knew you two couldn't stay away from each other." He gave him another squeeze before letting go then hugging Gabriel.

 

"Thanks Jay." Adrian grinned. "I'm sorry if we had caused you and Barbra any trouble from our separation. But just to let you know, it will never happen again because we won't ever let anyone or anything come between our family again."

 

He looked at Gabriel daring him to deny the promise he made to them all. Gabriel just smiled in conviction reassurance Adrian of that promise making his eyes twinkle in acceptance. The three of them then sat and chatted until Gabriel and Jaylen flight was called to board. After giving Adrian another hug, Jaylen picked up his bag and waited for Gabriel by the gate while he said his goodbye to Adrian. The two of them just stood there looking into each other's eyes for a full minute before either man could say anything.

 

"Make sure you take care of yourself and the boys while I'm gone okay? Remember what we put into place and that it can't be changed for any reason. I promise to try and wrap this case up as fast as I can so I can come back home to you all."

 

"Don't worry about us; you just be safe and come home in one piece. Because now that I have you back, I don't plan on losing you any time soon, and I don't wanna have to explain to our sons that their other dad won't be coming home."

 

They hugged and whispered `I love you into each other's ear so that no one else could hear. When they had separated, Gabriel picked up his bag and joined Jaylen at the gate giving the gatekeeper their ticket to check. Before walking through, they looked back and waved goodbye to Adrian who waved back. He stood there in the terminal watching until he couldn't see them anymore before turning around and leaving the airport.

 

On the plane, Gabriel was quietly staring out of the window in contemplation as they waited for takeoff. Jaylen looked over at his partner with sympathy but knew there wasn't anything that he could do to comfort him. The timing of this new assignment was inconvenient but this was their job and they have their orders to follow. He tried comforting Gabriel by giving him a pat on the shoulder which did get a reaction from him. Gabriel turned and gave his partner a smile of `thanks for his attempt in which Jaylen gave a returning smile of `you're welcome. Both men share the same turmoil of leaving their love ones behind when on assignment and always try to be there for one another in their time of needs.

 

Just as the flight got the clearance, Adrian arrived back at his office to finish his work before going home to his boys. Seeing the blasé expression on his face, his secretary Judy held all his calls for the rest of the afternoon unless they were an emergency without even being asked. In fact, the only one she'd put through was from DMoney and Julian calling to see how he was holding up. She knows her boss well; and the impression that she was getting from him was conveying that he wanted to be alone.

 

Around four thirty Adrian decided to end the day a little early. He sent Judy home then locked up the office. On his way to his vehicle, he contacted his security who'd met up with him in the lobby and they left after wishing the others a good night stopping along the way home at Baskin Robins for a small tub of double fudge chocolate ice cream to improve his mood.

 

When he got there, he checked on the boys before going to change into some more comfortable clothes. He came back down and got a debriefing from Jeanette before she left for home then spent the rest of the time until dinner with the children. Afterwards, they had dessert in the living room while watching a movie on television with Adrian feeding Tony. Around eight thirty Gabriel called to inform them of his safe arrival and to say goodnight to the boys.

 

After putting the little ones to bed, Adrian helped Alonzo with his homework before sending him off to bed. He then went around making sure the house was locked up and the alarm set before turning off all of the lights and going to bed as well. Not being able to fall asleep, he laid in bed watching more television until he started to drift off around midnight unaware that his soulmate was also having the same difficulty of sleeping.

 

When Gabriel woke in the morning he was feeling tired and restless. He tossed and turned all night long searching for his sweet spot to get a good night's sleep only to come to the realization early in the morning that it wasn't there without Adrian in the bed with him. Being Wednesday didn't help his mood either because he hates Wednesdays. None the less he climbed out of bed and got ready for his first day on the case.

 

When he got into the kitchen he found Jaylen already there having breakfast. They gave each other a good morning nod as he fixed himself a plate and a cup of coffee before joining him at the table. Not being a relatively morning person, they ate in silence and were nursing their second cup of coffee before either guy said a word. Even then it was only about the assignment and nothing else because they needed to concentrate on that and put everything else on the back burner for now. Once they were clear on their game plan, they drove to the local headquarter.

 

The briefing was quite simple and direct. Agent Rodriguez will be head agents as they infiltrate a small organization involved in illegal activities and bring it down. Gabriel will go in undercover as the head dealer with Jaylen as his second in command and three others as his underlings gathering all the information they can get. The other six will work from the shadows until the sting of the operation bringing the entire organization crumbling down to the ground. Once everyone was assigned their task and their strategy had been laid out, they set out to find their target.

 

Back at home Adrian's morning was a flurry of nonstop activities. After sending Alonzo off to school he had to bathe and dress the other three before coming into work for several scheduled meetings. Now that he can finally take a breather he allowed his mind to contemplate on other matters with the main one being about Gabriel. He speculated on what the subject of his assignment entails and the degree of danger that may be involve when he was brought out of his contemplation by the buzzing of his intercom. "Yes Judy, what is it?"

 

"You have a call from Mrs. Matthews on line two claiming that she needs to speak with you right away." Adrian grinned imagining her rolling her eyes in annoyance. "Do you want me to put her through or would you rather I take a message."

 

"No, put her through." He too rolled his eyes in annoyance. "I'm sure she's just calling to bitch, but let's hear what she has to say." Sighing deeply, He pushed the blinking button connecting the call. "Hello Louisa, what can I do for you?"

 

"Hello Adrian." Louisa Matthews greeted back a little condescendingly. "I'm calling to speak to you about my son." Adrian already knew that so he didn't say anything. "I'm sure that you and he think that you're in love but we know that's not possible because that's not how we brought him up. We raised him to know right from wrong and to put his family before all others.

 

Now you're corrupting his moral values and you know that's wrong. I'm not going to pretend that I care how you live your life or raise your children because we both know I don't. However, I do care about Gabriel's and his and I'm trying to get him to see the error of his ways and put him on the right path of proper society. You're disrupting my efforts so I'm asking you as a parent to parent to let him go so he can put his family back together and raise his two boys properly."

 

Adrian stayed quiet for a minute to make sure she was finished. "On the contrary to what you believe Louisa, I'm not standing between you and Gabe. He made his own choice to put his true family back together without any persuasion from me. He's a grown man who knows what he wants out of life and doesn't need anyone telling him what that is.

 

Gabe gave me his promise that he'll never leave again when I took him back and you and I both know what that means so there's nothing I need to do in order to make him stay. Also, you don't need to worry about the boys because he and I will raise all four of them with moral and values and to respect themselves as well as others. Finally, don't ever tried to use my children or my sympathy as a parent in one of your ploys in trying to get your way again. You need to realize that no one persuaded Gabe in leaving Jalisa and he had put his true family back together and is now following his heart.

 

Furthermore, Gabe had made his decision completely clear to you; so you need to give up on your vendetta in trying to force him to live his life under your conditions because it's not going to happen. The more you try the more you'll be pushing him away without any interference from anyone else. Now I'm going to leave you with this last thought. Do you want to see your son happy and watch your grandchildren grow up, or do you want to be force out of their lives forever? You have a nice day now."

 

Adrian hung up without giving her a chance to respond. He then did some balance checking for thirty minutes before shutting down his computer. As he was walking out of his office, Judy stopped him to tell him that he has another call from Mrs. Matthews. Adrian told her to take a message because he was leaving for lunch and wasn't taking anymore calls. She nodded her acceptance and proceeded to do just that as he walked out.

 

While He was eating he called home to check on the children. Jeanette said that everything was fine and she had just put them down for a nap. He was so involved in his conversation that he didn't notice someone watching him but his security did and the onlooker didn't detect being observed by them. They kept an eye on the person imprinting their description to memory while assuring their boss's safety at the same time. When the waiter came with the check, the onlooker paid with a credit card which gave one of them the opportunity to get the name from it when it was handed over. They're so good at their job that the person never speculated that they were being observed just as they were observing Adrian. Even when the card was returned and the person left, they never took their eyes off of Adrian.

 

Adrian finished his lunch and returned to work with no knowledge of what occurred at the restaurant. His afternoon went smoothly although Gabriel was never far from his thoughts. He wished that Gabriel could sense his love and affections and was taking every precaution to keep himself safe on his assignment whatever it may be. Unknown to him Gabriel was also wishing that Adrian could sense that same love and affection being sent his way as well.

 

As Adrian was just returning from lunch, Gabriel was breaking for his. He and Jaylen had spent the morning after their briefing scouting around for smalltime dealers to purchase orders to get the ball rolling on their case. When they thought they had enough evidence in their possession, they turned it over to be analyzed and made their report. Now they're just waiting for the results before making plans for their next move with someone higher up in the chain of command. The results came in later that day and they used the rest of the afternoon strategizing.

 

At the end of the day Adrian was locking up the office when the phone rang. Judy had gone home early to have more time with her family and to make a special dinner for her husband. He thought about letting the call go to voicemail but something told him to answer it. He walked back in and over to his desk and picked up the handset. "Paradise Industry."

 

"Hello. May I speak with Adrian Williams please?" Adrian replied that he was him and asked who was calling. The lady explained that she was a nurse calling from the emergency room at Shady Grove Hospital. "I'm calling in regarding to a Kyra Robinson."

 

The blood drained from Adrian's face at that revelation. "Yes, she's my younger sister. Is she alright? Has something happened to her?"

 

"She was involved in an automobile accident this afternoon and suffered a mild concussion and a broken left arm and leg along with some bumps and bruises. Fortunately she was wearing her seatbelt which prevented more serious injuries because the car was totaled. We were unable to get in contact with her husband and you were next on our list of emergency contact. Is there any way you can come and pick her up?"

 

"Sure I can." The relief washed over Adrian like a title wave. "Just let me call home to inform my son's nanny that I'll be late and lock up my office. I should be there within forty-five minutes to an hour depending on traffic."

 

"Okay, I'll let your sister know and have the discharge papers ready by then. You'll have to sign them since she's unable to because she's very groggy due to the mild sedatives that we have given her. We'll also give you prescriptions for some Ibuprofens which should be filled as soon as possible."

 

"That's no problem. I can take care of that when I take her home because I know what pharmacy she uses. Let me get off so I can get there to take her home." The nurse told him to ask for her when he arrives. "Okay, I'll do that. See you then."

 

He hung up and called home to explain to Jeanette. Jeanette told him to take care of his sister and not to worry about the boys. It would be no problem for her to stay until he gets home since she had Deon with her and her husband was working late. Adrian insisted that they have dinner with his boys and thanked her adding that he'll be home as fast as he can so she's not keeping Deon up late. After exchanging a few more words, they ended the call and Adrian locked up the office. As he was heading down to his car, he texted Gabriel, DMoney, and Mrs. Amee about the accident and told them that he would call them again once he has more information.

 

He arrived at the hospital giving his name to the receptionist in the emergency room asking for the nurse as requested. He was told to have a seat and the nurse will be with him shortly. Five minutes later someone came out looking around the waiting room. Identifying that she was the one that he was looking for by the nametag on her uniform he walked up and introduced himself.

 

They shook hands and she walked him back to the room his sister was in while once again explaining her injuries including the ones she didn't relay over the phone such as two broken right ribs and a dislocated right shoulder. "She'll be in pain for quite a while but the Ibuprofens should help to alleviate some of the ache. Most likely she'll need help with a lot of things until the castes come off."

 

"That's already been taken care of." Adrian assured her. "I hired three of the best private duty nurses for her on my way here. They'll be with her twenty-four hours a day seven days a week starting tomorrow until she's fully recovered. I figured she would need the help especially with the kids while her husband is out of town."

 

The nurse nodded in agreement as they reached the room. Tears came to Adrian's eyes when he saw his little sister lying in the bed battered and bruised. He slowly walked over to the bed and looked down at her as he gently caressed her forehead. Sensing his presence, she slowly opened her eyes and smiled affectionately at him in which he returned. She was about to say something when Adrian put his fingers to her lips.

 

"Don't say anything okay?" He gently insisted. "You just rest and let big bro take care of everything for you. I'm going to make sure you're taken care of until you get back on your feet and I don't want any arguments from you. It's a big brother's responsibility to take care of his little sister and you know I'll never neglect that responsibility."

 

Knowing she wasn't going to win the argument, Kyra nodded in acquiesce and closed her eyes. Adrian pulled up a chair and sat by her bedside to wait for the doctor. It wasn't long when she came in and explained Kyra's condition to him and how long it will take for her to recover in greater details. By the time she was going over the prescriptions an orderly was standing there with a wheelchair. He helped Adrian with getting her into the chair then the doctor handed him the discharged papers and prescriptions. The orderly then wheeled her to the entrance while Adrian went to get his car and assisted with getting her inside and belted in. He thanked the orderly for his help then drove his sister home.

 

When they arrived he carried her inside and made her comfortable on the sofa before turning to her babysitter. "Can you stay until I get back? I need to go and get her prescriptions filled so I can get home to my kids and relieve their nanny for the day. I'm sure Keyarra (pronounced as Key-air-ra) can take over then."

 

`No problem Adrian. I don't have any plans tonight other than catching up on some assignments for college. I'll call and order a couple of pizza for the kids. Kyra didn't take anything out because she was going to pick up something on her way home."

 

Adrian gave her some money for the pizza including a tip for the delivery person before leaving for the pharmacy. Thirty minutes later he was back and relieved the sitter of her duty then explained the prescriptions to Keyarra so she'll know what dosage to give her mother for the night. "By the way, you'll need to be up by 6am tomorrow for when the nurse arrives."

 

"That'll be no problem Uncle Dray." She assured him. "I usually get up around that time for school anyway so I'll just let her in before getting ready."

 

"Okay. Well, I need to get home but I want you to call me if you guys need anything okay? Your mom will be in the casts for six to eight weeks so some of the responsibilities will fall on you until your dad gets back. I'll do as much as I can, but I need to be home with the boys because Gave is out of town on assignment and I don't know when he'll be back."

 

Keyarra promised she would and he gave her a hug before hugging the others and leaving. Knowing that her uncle would be standing on the other side until he heard the door lock, She made sure to do that before going back to finish eating.

 

As he drove home, Adrian tried to find his equilibrium. It had been a hectic day and all he wanted to do now was to get home and have some dinner before spending time with the boys and putting them to bed. His serenity had been thrown off balance all day and he needed some downtime to relax and recuperate for the days to come.

 

When he arrived, he thanked Jeanette for staying longer and insisted on paying her for the overtime on payday when she tried to decline. He walked her and Deon out and wished her a good night and locked up before going to change. Sean and Bryan already had his dinner on the table when he came back down so he dug in after checking on the boys. When he was finished, he watched television with them hoping that Gabriel will call. It was around nine o'clock when he finally did and he spoke with the boys before speaking with Adrian. Gabriel told him about his day and then Adrian told his.

 

"How are you doing?" Gabriel asked with all the love and sincerity in his heart. "I know the day couldn't have been easy for you. I can be on the next flight if you need me there. Someone else can always take my place if I'm needed home for a family emergency. Just say the word and I'm there."

 

A lump caught in Adrian's throat at the loving sympathy being stowed upon him. "No, I'm okay, but thanks for asking. You need to be there making the world a safer place for everyone. I can always call Grandma or Money if I need a shoulder to lean on. I rather it be you; but you need to close that case and take another scumbag off the streets."

 

"I'll only stay if you're sure." Adrian insisted that he was. "Okay, but I want you to call me if you need me home no matter what it is. I love this job but I don't need it to make a living. You and the boys are my number one priority and everyone and everything else will just have to take a backseat to that."

 

Adrian smiled at the endearing sentiments. The two talked for a little while longer about nonsensical things just enjoying in hearing the other's voice. After they hung up, Adrian put the boys to bed then headed for his own. As soon as his head hit the pillow he was out like a light.

 

To Be Continued...

 

Writer's Corner:

 

Welcome back one and all to another chapter of Where My Heart Belongs.  I hope you had enjoyed reading this chapter as much as I did writing it.  Now let's get to the summary of this chapter, shall we?

 

It looks like the weekend went by too fast for Adrian and Gabriel and now it's back to work. I gave a hint as to what Gabriel's job description is in this chapter and his assignment. Can you figure out what it is? It may or may not be more than one answer.

 

Louisa Matthews isn't giving up so easy. Now that she can't influence her son anymore she's trying to force Adrian and Julian in doing her bidding but neither guy is backing down and making it well known to her that she won't win.

 

It seems like the parents of the Matthews family believes the children should always obey them even when all grown up. What do you suspect is the conflict between Julian and his parents are?

 

Adrian and Gabriel had a night and morning of love making before he left on assignment. One was gentle and the other was rough but both were sensual. I did it that way to show that both are versatile but Gabriel was feeling the anger that Adrian was still holding on to and wanted him to let it go plus needed to atone for his mistake of leaving.

 

More characters were introduced in this chapter and we got a little more background on some characters already in the story. They may or may not appear much but will appear from time to time.

 

Adrian's plate may be over flowing which might lead him to snapping if he doesn't get a break. I think Gabriel should come home before that happens, what do you think?

 

What was the cause of Adrian's sister accident and what will he do about it?

 

Don't forget to read my other stories. Best Friends located in the Gay/Beginnings section and Malibu Hearts located in the Gay/High School section of Nifty.

 

If I had missed anything in my corner, I hope my editor will catch it in her corner.  I need to get started on writing the next chapter for you guys to enjoy reading.

 

So much is going on and not enough time to write it all out!  New plots are going to open and some will close.  Keep reading the future chapters and enjoy!  Please let me know how I'm doing.  I look forward to hearing your comments and suggestions at {romeo1.jacobmillertex@gmail.com} thanks.

 

Editor's Corner:

 

I first would like to apologize as this is all my fault for Romeo not getting the chapter out sooner.

 

A lot did happen in this chapter I too wonder about Kyra's car accident was it intentional?

 

Will Gabriel head home even with Adrian saying no?

 

I have a feeling a lot is about to happen.

 

Once again, I'm so sorry.

Trish

 

Writer's Corner:

 

I'm glad to have gotten this chapter back for you all. Please go easy on Trish because without her I couldn't have devoted my time to write without taking the time to edit the chapters. She's had been going through some difficult times with personal situations and didn't have any available time to do any editing. Thank Trish for all of your help with making my stories readable for my audience.
