Reunion (8 page)

“Have you fucked him? Is that how you know?” His voice is quiet but I can still detect the anger. He drops my hand and stops walking. “Well?”

“No Nico. I haven’t fucked him but Logan has. You know, the doctor that patched you up? I saw them in a, well a compromising position one night. Would it really bother you if I had?”

“Yeah it would, I know I have no right to but the thought of seeing or meeting any of your ex’s would completely bother me. I’m sorry Ryan.” He turns his head away.

“Well you have nothing to worry about, I haven’t screwed anyone here.” My sex life is not an interesting one at all.

“Really? Jesus Ryan, when was the last time you got laid?” Nico shakes his head.

“What apart from you this morning?” I raise an eyebrow at him and laugh.

“Well obviously not counting me.” Throwing his arm around my shoulder he pulls me in to kiss me.

“A long time Nicky, that’s all you need to know. Come on, we’re here.” I have no intention of telling him it’s been over a year and it was a fucking disaster.

Ryan was right about the Italian restaurant, the food was amazing. We kept the conversation easy and light, I know Ryan has still got to tell me about how he spent the last ten years, but now isn’t the time. We can talk later; we have all the time we need to rediscover each other.

Then it hits me, I’m not alone anymore. I have felt alone since Franco died, even in a room full of people, of friends, I still felt alone.

The statement at the police station was difficult but having Ryan sitting with me gave me the strength to continue. Plus some people from the bar had come forward and made statements quoting the hostile confrontation between the four of us.

As we walk back to the hotel to collect my car we see Marcus. We fill him in on what’s happening with the cops, as another gay man he needs to keep a look out.

“I don’t think I’ll have too much trouble, nobody knew I was gay when I was here. I wasn’t one hundred percent positive until I went to college and made the swim team.” He laughs. “Then I knew I was definitely gay.”

“Yeah, I’ve heard a swim team can do that to a guy.” Ryan laughs. “Look why don’t we go to dinner tonight, we’d love to meet Tate.”

“You’re on, here’s my number call me and let me know where and when.” He rattles of his cell number we put it in our phones, then call him.

“Now you’ve got ours. See you later.” I grab Ryan’s hand and we leave Marcus to his shopping.

“Come on babe, let’s get back to mine. Can you remember the way or do you want to follow me.” Ryan questions.

“I’ll follow you…” My voice fades away when I see a woman across the road. “Fuck!”

I see Ryan follow my gaze and feel him stiffen, his hand gripping tightly on to mine. My breath hitches in my throat, forming a lump that makes it hard to swallow as my lunch churns in my stomach. My mother, I can see my mom. She looks old, worn out. What happened to the laughing, fun-loving, vibrant woman I remember? Is this my fault? My father killed himself and my mother looks like a shadow. Christ! Did I cause all of these things to happen?

“Nicky, don’t. Don’t do this today. Come on, I don’t think it’s a good idea for her to see you when you’re all battered and bruised. You’ve had to deal with so much shit in the last twenty four hours, speaking to your mother after ten years apart will be way too much for you.”

My feet start to move towards her but Ryan’s hand pulls me back keeping me away. “Ry, I need to see her, I need to tell her I’m sorry.”

“Not today babe, c’mon we’ll go and see her after the reunion. Let’s go.” He pulls on my hand but my feet are rooted to the sidewalk. Where is her luscious dark mahogany hair, it’s a dull salt and pepper grey now, and her smooth olive toned skin, so like my own is now creased and dry. My heart is ready to shatter at the miserable sight of her.

But then like a moth to a flame she looks up and sees me, and her tired worn out face takes on a look of shock before morphing into a different mask; the look of hatred and venom so clear on her face turns my blood to ice and my bones to stone. I find myself unable to break away from her stare.

I watch as she starts to cross the road not looking for any traffic around her, her eyes still boring into mine. As she gets closer she starts to speak getting louder and louder as she gets close. “What you are doing back here? You’re not welcome! Go away, I told you to stay away, that I never wanted to see you again. Everything is your fault. You killed him! You might as well have pulled the trigger yourself, you and your sick twisted mind! Get away!” Her shouting starts to draw a crowd.

Ryan steps towards her. “Mrs. Angeles, go back home. Stop causing a scene. Nico is your son, you should be ashamed of yourself. Leave him and me alone.” I can hear the policeman in him coming through.

“It’s not me who should be ashamed, what would your mother say if she was still alive? Shame on you, shame on you both. Sinners, that’s what you are, sinners! You will have to answer to God!”

People are starting to stop and stare. I grab Ryan’s arm and beg him, “Take me away from here Ry, for God’s sakes take me home.” My voice is thick and heavy burning through me. “I need to be away from here, from her.”

“I won’t tell you again, go home Sadie. You know you shouldn’t be walking around in this condition.” Ryan tells my mother, still in cop mode. After staring at him the woman I used to love turns away and crosses the road again.

I can hear Ryan talking to me but it sounds like he’s miles away and I can’t focus on the words coming out of his mouth. I’m still locked in her glare, her lips have curled in a sneer that makes me take a step back gasping. My attention is broken when Ryan stands in front of me breaking my line of vision, his mouth lands hard and firm on mine. Suddenly my mind realigns to the here and now and I focus on Ryan. As his tongue slides across mine, his hands pull on my hips grinding against me, centering me. My eyes fix on his storm grey eyes as they delve deep into my soul. It’s a quick but intense kiss, exactly what I need right now.

“Look at me baby, I love you Nicky, please let this go. Come home with me.” His desperate plea breaks through my frozen persona and I nod. “Thank fuck.”

I let the man I love lead me through the streets, back to the cars and the hotel. Just minutes later I hear him speak again.

“Give me your keys babe, I’ll drive.” The soft touch of his mouth against my forehead sends my mind reeling.

“I think she was drunk Ryan, is that what you meant about her not leaving the house much? Christ, what a fucked up life. That’s it. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to reach out to her. How can I live back here?”

“Because we love each other Nicky, babe I keep telling you, you’re stuck with me.” He chuckles as I lean against him nudging his shoulder. “Now are you okay to drive, I’ll leave my car here and drive you?”

“Nah. I’m good, no-one drives my car.” I manage a small smile as Ryan nods.

“Follow me then, Nico.”

Half an hour later we have made it back to Ryan’s far too large home, and I’m sitting on his sofa. I lean against the solid muscular body of my lover, his hands are combing through my hair.

“You’re going send me to sleep if you carry on with that.” I chuckle rubbing my hands up his thighs under the hem of his shorts. I feel his moan rather than hear it. “You like that, do you?”

“Yeah, I love your touch.” The sound of his deep gravelly voice shoots straight to my groin. His hands now travel down my neck and over my shoulders kneading and stroking my tense muscles. “Do you want to talk about your mom?”

His hands keep the pressure on my stressed out body as his lips kiss up and down my neck, before sucking on my earlobe which sends shivers down my spine. I twist my body around so that I’m lying over him.

“No, I have no desire to even think about her right now.” I push my hands under his T-shirt and up to his nipples and follow the path with my mouth. Taking the tight hard nub in my mouth I suck, flicking my tongue over his nipple.

“Jesus Nic, that feels so good.” He wraps his legs around mine causing our shafts to rub against each other as they stiffen and grow. “What do you want from me now? Seeing as you’re taking charge.”

Lifting my head away from his pecs I stand up, quickly flicking the button on my jeans and lowering the zipper. My throbbing rod bounces against my stomach as I drop my jeans down to my ankles then look back at Ryan.

“C’mon babe. That cock is mine.” I relish his sharp intake of breath and the way his eyes darken. As he stands up to take off his clothes I drop to my knees and hold onto his thick muscular thighs, my hands grip him tightly while my mouth closes around his sac. Drawing in one of his balls I roll my tongue over and around him, with my nose pressed against the base of his swollen dick I can inhale the scent of pure one hundred percent man. The scent of musk and his soap overwhelm me making me moan hard around his sac before moving up to the base of his cock.

“Fucking hell, Nicky. Yeah. Suck me. Suck me hard!” My tongue stills on its journey further up the length of Ryan’s dick. Dirty talk? I never expected that. “Don’t stop now Nico.”

I laugh against the solid muscle as he fists my hair pulling my mouth closer to his pulsing and weeping head.

“Never Ry, and by the way I’m loving the dirty talk.” I laugh again then cover his wet slit with my tongue, as he tilts his hips forward I let him plunge deep into my mouth. As the tip hits the back of my throat I swallow around him. My hands are clenching the solid globes of his ass letting the tip of my middle fingers slide up and down the crack.

“Oh God you feel so good. So fucking good!”

I know he’s close to coming, in just the few short hours we have been back together I can read his body again. The last ten years have just faded away as we mesh and meld our bodies together, but it’s not just our bodies connecting again, it’s more than that. It’s our hearts and our souls too.

Just then with one more deep thrust I feel Ryan swell and burst as his orgasm detonates flooding my mouth. I feel him pull back letting his release fill my mouth, I can tell from the amount of fucking we have done that it’s taking its toll as Ryan hasn’t come as hard as this morning. I think we are wearing each other out and I fucking love it. How did I manage to be away from him for so long? We are made for each other, for now and for always. The image of my mother springs into my mind but I throw it away knowing that I’m here, with Ryan and I’m not going anywhere. Not without him by my side.

As he pulls out of my mouth I slide my tongue over my lips capturing the last of his essence, I feel my eyes roll back as I savor his amazing flavor.

“Take me Nicky, please take me now.” Ryan smiles then turns his back to me to kneel on the sofa, resting his arms on the back. As he spreads his legs wide I kneel down between them and slide my tongue up from his balls over his taint and up over his tight asshole. A moan escapes me as my tongue flicks over his entrance and I lean back in for more, just one more taste.

“Fuck Ryan, you taste so good.” I lap again and again at the tight ring.

“If you don’t fuck me now I’m breaking up with you!” He spits the words out through gritted teeth.

“No way man, we are never gonna be over.” I pull back and grab the lube from the sofa, thankful I’d had the foresight to throw it there earlier. Trailing a stream of the cool gel down between his ass cheeks, my fingers follow probing against his tight hole, nudging him gently to let me in. Sliding two fingers inside a growl bursts out as I relish the heat as Ryan lets me go deeper by pushing back against my fist.

“For God’s sake Nico, fuck me!” Looking back at me his eyes are black with desire, he curses again when I wink at him and I slowly pull my fingers back out only to return with three pressing deep inside him then pull out leaving him barren. His curse just encourages me further.

“You sure you want this Ry?” I’m running my slick length up between his cheeks and up against his hole. I take a strong hold of his hips and push inside him, slowly inching in. My grip tightens restraining him when I feel his hips push back, trying to take me deeper.

“You’re killing me here.” He’s panting heavily and I can see his cock leaking as he holds onto the base firmly to halt his climax.

I finish by slamming hard into him, his groan spurring me on as he chants for me to go faster, harder. It takes just minutes for me to feel the tremor run through his body as his orgasm builds.

“Hold on Ry, wait for me. Together babe, we’re doing this together!” It’s my turn to pant and grunt as my climax rockets through my nervous system firing every synapse I have. “Now Ryan, Now!”

His muscles tighten around my surging cock as I come, prolonging my orgasm, dragging every drop from me as I slump over his back. Ryan calls out my name in a deep guttural growl as he comes, his body shuddering at the force. We both slump down to the floor my arms wrap around his chest and waist, keeping him against me. I shower his back and nape in kisses as I come back down to earth again and we both tremble as I slide out of him. How many times have I come today? I never thought I would be able to get hard so quickly, just one touch from him has my balls aching and my cock hardening.

I manage to stand up holding out my hand for Ryan to clasp letting me pull him up. “Come on lover, we need to shower before we go out for dinner.”

“Do we have to go? I’d much rather be here with you. I’m tired we’ve had so much sex today, I think my dick and my ass are about to wave white flags.” Ryan grumbles but walks with me to the staircase.

“I know it’s intense now and I’m sure we will settle down, just not yet.” I wink. “We’ve got ten years to catch up on. But seriously, tell me if it’s too much Ryan, I just can’t keep my hands off you.”

“It’s not too much babe, I want you just as much. I never thought I’d see you again let alone be able to love you, hold you. I just need to make sure I’m not pushing you too much” I can hear the question in his voice making me shake my head.

As we walk back up the staircase I look around at his large home. “This is a huge house for you Ry, what made you buy it?” I look around taking all the closed doors hiding the other rooms.

“It seemed like a good idea at the time, I like it here though after spending so much time in cramped spaces I wanted to be able to spread out.”

I notice he gives me a funny look as if he’s said something he didn’t want me to know. “What aren’t you telling me Ryan?”
