Part 6

Brian’s home

"Oh, my God!” Justin exclaims as Brian pulls into a long, sweeping driveway and slows the Jeep down to stop in front of an imposing structure. “This is where you live?” he asks, his mouth agape, as he frees himself from his seatbelt and climbs out of the Jeep to stretch his stiff legs.

Brian nods as he, too, emerges from the Jeep and smirks over at Justin. “Yeah, home, sweet home,” he quips.

Justin gazes at the monstrously large, brick home. “This place is big enough to be a fucking convent,” he exclaims in astonishment. “You live here by yourself?” he asks in wonderment.

“Not exactly,” Brian replies as he walks around the side of the car to join his companion. “There’s a housekeeping staff that lives in one wing, and a landscaper and his wife who live out back in the carriage house,” he informs him, reaching his hand over to brush his fingers across Justin’s soft, warm lips. The grounds are mainly dark, except for the old-fashioned lamppost softly illuminating the front walk, and a light left on inside the living room.

Justin leans into Brian’s caress, lifting his eyes to stare into Brian’s before the brunet reaches behind his neck to pull their mouths together for a kiss. They had driven all night to get here to this mansion of a home – somewhere in upper New York State, was all Justin knew – but neither men seemed to be tired. They were both exisiting at the moment on the anticipation of things to come and on sheer adrenalin.

"Let's go inside,” Brian whispers into Justin's mouth. Justin nods, finding himself trembling slightly over the magnitude of this moment, as Brian gently but firmly grips his elbow and guides him toward the massive, front door, opening it to reveal a spacious hallway surrounded by wood-paneled walls. The study leading off from the right is tastefully decorated with antique oak furniture, with a small oil painting of a male nude gracing the wall over the fireplace mantel. Several other original works of art are hung along the other walls.

"These are amazing,” Justin comments in awe as he walks up to more closely study one of the paintings. "Where did you get them?"

Brian smiles in amusement at Justin’s almost reverent reaction as he suggests softly, "Let's have breakfast first,” pointing toward the dining room located at the far end of the hall way.

"Too many secrets, Mr. Kinney?" Justin asks curiously; nevertheless, he follows the taller man back out into the hallway.

Brian smiles as he slides his arm around Justin’s waist and responds, “Maybe a few. But that’s what keeps life interesting. And maybe if you stick around longer, I just might give you some answers.”

Later...


"So, let's talk. How did you meet him?" Brian asks, leaning his naked body against the headboard in the master bedroom as Justin rests his blond head on his chest.

“Charles? At an art show, in DC,” Justin answers him. “He was there on vacation, and a business associate of his invited him to attend.”

"What were you doing in DC?" Brian asks as he frowns.

"I had just finished my art degree for PIFA, and, well…I needed all the exposure I could get,” Justin explains. He pauses. "You sound surprised. Were you expecting a more exotic setting for my first encounter with Charles?"

"I… don't know,” Brian begins tentatively. “I guess it’s just that I didn't expect him to…never mind,” he hastily decides. “It’s not important.”

Justin twists his head just enough so he could look Brian in the eyes. “What?” he presses, curious himself now. “Were you more than just a casual fuck to each other, and you didn’t expect him to move on after you two broke up?" Justin guesses, sliding the palm of his hand lightly across Brian's chest.

"No,” Brian tells him firmly with a shake of his head. “We didn’t have to break up, because we were never in a relationship," he clarifies as he sighs. “Okay, this is getting awkward," he continues after a slight, tense pause.

"I know,” Justin whispers as he pulls back a bit. He then gazes up at Brian, reaching his hand forward as his fingers gently slide down Brian's thigh.

"Wait,” Brian responds, reaching to stop Justin’s movement; it’s making him horny as hell, but he is trying hard not to get distracted. “Tell me more,” he urges, knowing he's breaking another rule by saying that; but when it comes to Justin, he finds that he has an insatiable appetite in more ways than one.

"You want to know if he took me home with him the first night that we met?” Brian nods silently, a little uncomfortable that Justin could read him so well, as the blond verifies, “Well, yes, he did. And we had some great sex. Some of the greatest I’ve ever had.”

For some reason, the idea of Justin finding sex great with someone else bothers him somewhat, but Brian chooses to ignore that thought as he asks, “So when you – and he – when you hooked up that first night, you weren’t…?”

Justin chuckles a little. “A virgin?”

Brian nods.

“Of course I wasn't. But somehow, with him it was different, at least at first. It was almost as good as it is with you,” he adds, somehow sensing that Brian needs the reassurance. His wandering hand reaches to cup Brian’s balls as he murmurs huskily, “I said almost,” he repeats meaningfully as a slight moan escapes the brunet’s lips.

Brian grips his hand in his as Justin admits, "I was curious, or flattered by his attention, or both; but I knew he wanted more than I could give him.”

Brian lifts his head to look at Justin, hoping he was misunderstanding him; but somehow he knew he wasn’t.

“Did he ever physically hurt you, Justin?”

Justin averts his eyes, but Brian won’t let him hide. He lifts the blond’s chin with his free hand, and forces him to look into his eyes. “Justin? Tell me. I have to know.”

The tears that spring into his lover’s eyes are all he needs to know as he hisses, “The fucking bastard.”

"It doesn't matter now,” Justin tells him. “I know I’m safe here now with you.” He bends his head to take Brian into his mouth.

Brian feels Justin’s lips form a tight ring of suction around his cock as his whole body twitches.

Justin looks up a few moments later as if his mind is a million miles away, Brian's throbbing erection slipping out of his ripe lips as he tells his lover softly, “Please, let it go, Brian. I'm not sure how to do it yet, but I've decided I'm not going back home. Things were getting to be too much for me. He was using me to get back at people. At first it was fun, but after a while it was too much. I realized it wasn't love, it was hate. I don't want it anymore. I would sometimes find myself in bed with him, and we didn’t fuck, let alone talk, and I realize now that I was just some trophy to him. He’s not what I want. This is what I want, Brian. This is where I feel safe, This is where I can feel the way I need to feel..."

Justin pauses, taking a deep breath, before he slips out of Brian’s embrace and rises to pick his jeans up off the floor, digging in his pockets until he locates the shiny, promise band; commitment band. What a fucking joke.

In a fit of righteous anger as well as triumph, he rears back and throws the ring across the room, the metal clattering noisily on the hardwood floor. "I don't want his ring anymore. It means nothing now,” he tells Brian as he smiles softly. "All I want is you.”

"You sure?" Brian whispers, holding his breath in anticipation.

"Yes,” Justin answers with a firm nod as he slides back into bed as Brian’s arms wind around him; his strong, protective arms. "This is where I feel loved," he whispers fervently.

"But… you hardly know me,” Brian points out, his heart in his throat over Justin’s declaration. Could he be falling in love with this man already, too? “Aren't you afraid you’ll lose your magical powers if we hook up more permanently?” he teases, his lips drawn inward playfully. He finds it too overwhelming just yet to seriously consider just how important this man was quickly becoming to him.

"I think my powers just might be enhanced with you in my life,” Justin responds almost shyly. “That is…unless, of course, you don't want me here,” he adds quietly, vulnerability apparent in his voice and in the uncertain, blue eyes. He moves to straddle Brian’s thighs as he sits on the other man’s lap and grips the strong biceps, holding his breath as he waits for an answer; the most important answer he may ever receive.

Brian peers into the endless blue eyes, his heart skipping a beat as he replies softly and honestly, “It's been a while since I’ve lived with someone. But…I can’t think of anyone I’d rather try it with than you.” He pulls Justin down and presses his lips to his, amazed at the wondrous feelings flooding through him as they deepen their kiss. “I think everything will be just fine now.”
________________________________________

Yes, Brian thinks later with a sated smile as he and Justin lay together later in post-coital bliss, his arms full of a warm, slumbering, blond body that was presently curled against his. Everything will be MORE than fine.

Lovely story but you left an unsolved issue named Charles. It would have been better to close that because it sound like there will be no peace for the boys yet.
