Chapter 2
Waking with an usual spring in his step, Matt was showered dress and on the road bright an early. Grabbing the usual coffee, he oblivious to anything and everyone around him. Wearing white singlet and tight work shorts, he hadn't put much thought in to his wardrobe selection, except as to what the weather was doing for the day.
He hadn't noticed the stares he was attracting from both women and men, and even if he had, he'd probably have only been embarrassed. Matt knew he had a great body, but it was not something he intentionally flaunted, and was a little embarrassed when it was pointed out to him. It was his job that gave him the figure he carried, not 6 days a week in the gym.
Arriving at Luke's, he buzzed the gate and was promptly let in. It then dawned when he saw the man waiting for him, the incident that had occurred yesterday and Matt automatically froze. "Fuck, I hope he doesn't say anything"
"Hi Matt, How's your morning"
"Good, hopefully I can knock this bad boy over today and be out of your way, then one of my team can just do routine maintenance weekly"
"No problem, but I was hoping you could work on some new designs and plantings"
"Um, sure, not sure what you have in mind, or where, but we can have a look"
"Great, see me when you're done and we can talk then. If you need any cool water, I will be around the pool today, come grab me."
It was this last line that made Matt cringe. "Fuck, he did hear me, he did see me"
Lowering his head as his cheeks burned red, Matt started to unload his truck and head in to the area where he was upto, as far away from Luke as possible. Matt had been slogging away for a good 3-4 hrs when he heard some one approaching him from behind. A little startled he spun to see Luke standing before him.
"iced tea?"
"shit you scared me.....I was lost in my own world"
"Sorry, unintentional. Its pushing 95 degrees, you need fluids young man"
Matt grinned as he took the drink. "Damn, that's good" Matt added before drinking more.
"Good, I have had my housekeeper place a jug in the pool house fridge if you want more, help yourself"
"Cool, thanks"
Luke left Matt with his shrubs and pruning which Matt returned to, wanting to get it all knocked over today. Not because he felt uncomfortable at Luke's, but because he had a massive work load building. Matt never wanted to let down a client, neither did Jeff for that matter, so timing was always important.
It was mid afternoon, and Matt had not stopped all day, except for the Iced Tea. Needing to hydrate, and his water bottle empty, he decided to head to the pool house to fill his bottle and sneak some more tea.
Rounding the corner, Luke again was laying in the sun. This time he wore tight speedo's that covered him slightly.
"Oh, sorry Luke, I can come back, I was just grabbing some water"
"No, please, help yourself. It's too hot to be working out here anyway, let alone with out water. Go get what you need, and feel free to take a load off and join me for a few if you like"
Matt walked in to the plush surrounds of the pool house. Its up market appearance only made him think how nice the main house probably was. Filling his water bottle out of the chilled jug in the fridge, he made sure not to make mess before walking out in to the sun to join Luke.
Matt sat opposite him on the next vacant sun lounge. He wasn't comfortable to lie down, nor did he think appropriate.
"You have an amazing property Luke. I see so many estates around these traps, but yours is certainly up there with the best"
"It has taken years of cultivation, selection & patience to get to this stage, so don't fuck it up" He said dead straight before laughing and putting Matt at ease.
"Matt, I have friends in this town. We all want the best of the best. It's LA. It is what it is about. So when my regular packed up and left, I did my research and you and your partner were the best there is"
"Thanks. That's kind. We do try and deliver a high standard, some of our clients have some outrageous requests, but we survive"
"Oooohhh LA gossip...spill Mr" Luke laughed hard.
As they fell into easy conversation, Matt realised that this was one of the first he had had without someone offering their condolences, it was a nice change, and step closer to getting back in to his routine of life.
"Matt, do me a favour, take those bloody big boots off, and your shirt, and kick back and relax a little. I will make us a drink."
"Ah, its ok, I should get back to work."
"Stay. I'm paying you" he said with a smile.
As Matt took off his work boots, he walked to the pool edge and placed his feet in. The coldness had a feel of electricity surging through his body as he could feel the chill hit all parts of him. Sitting there, poolside, he unbuttoned his work shirt and through it towards the sun lounge. The rays now hitting his back, he could feel the sun energize him. That strong blast that the afternoon bought, always made him feel good.
As Luke walked out, he wasn't prepared for the shirtless Matt to be sitting by the pool.
"Jump in if you want" Luke said, living with hope and encouragement.
"Nah, I don't have my bathers. Sitting here is beautiful though."
"Just go in in your underwear if you want. There only the two of us here."
"You sure? It would be nice."
As Matt said that, Luke placed down the two glasses, walked past Matt and dived in to the pool, slightly splashing him.
"Get in, its beautiful"
Throwing caution to the wind, Matt stripped down to his Boxer Briefs, adjusted the waist band before moving to the deep end to dive in. Luke was fixated on the bulge that was now visible in Matts pants, and could feel himself growing under the water.
Matt's large frame cut through the water as he took off from the edge of the pool. He felt so refreshed under the water after such a hot day. As he surfaced, he didn't realise he had come up so close to luke, almost completely invading his space in the pool.
"Shit, sorry" he said as he rose, the water beading on his solid frame, and his hair now slicked back. For a guy that didn't really care what he looked like, he certainly came up looking like an Adonis.
"No problem, it's nice to have the company. I bump around in this place alone most of the time, my best friend is my butler" Luke laughed.
"Why not get some thing smaller then?"
"This place was my late partners pride and joy. The gardens, the parties, the events, the fundraisers. It's seen it all. Presidents to just about every executive worthy, has been invited. Movie stars and sports stars. It has seen it all."
Matt just looked on in awe, listening as Luke spoke more.
" We were only ever supposed to be here 3 years, but we've here 20. Jim, my partner passed away last year, and I am too afraid to let go. Of course, he was older than me, by some years, but this is all I have of the 30 years we spent together, besides a magnificent trust" he added laughing.
Matt thought before replying and was facing a little internal conflict, but managed to come up with a response.
"I....I....I recently lost my wife" he said as he looked directly down in the water rather than face Luke.
`Oh, I'm terribly sorry, I didn't mean to bring that up, how thoughtless of me"
"You didn't know man, it's all good. Just new. I don't know how to talk about it"
"Can I ask how long it's been?"
"5 weeks Tuesday. So yeah, recent" he said as he felt his voice start to crack.
Looking down at the water, he saw a drop it the surface, knowing it wasn't from the pool, he reached up to wipe the tears that had unexpectedly started to flow.
Luke made his way over to his pool companion and placed his arms around him.
"It's ok big guy, it gets easier as time passes" he softly whispered into Matts ear as Matt now started an uncontrollable sob that froze him to his feet.
After a few moments Luke started to pull away, but Matt held him tighter, indicating he wasn't ready to lose the embrace of another human.
"Please, I need to be held. I feel so lonely."
"Well why don't we get out of the pool, hey, let's chill in the pool house"
As Luke guided Matt to the stairs, it was like directing a child behind him, Matt was happy to be lead. As they hopped out, Luke rushed and got them towels, before instructing Matt to slip his boxers off and leave the towel on.
Luke sat on the chaise part of the sectional with his feet up, Matt wasn't sure where to sit, but as Luke patted his hand on the part next to him, Matt dutifully sat down, also placing his feet up.
"You know, I took Jim to the hospital because he had some chest pains after dinner. When I was there they sent me home to grab him a bag of personal belongings as they wanted to keep him a few days for observation. I arrived back 45mins later only to be told he had had a massive heart attack and died. The last thing I said was `Love you, I wont be long' "
This resonated with Matt, as he too had said goodbye to his wife the morning of her death. "See you tonight babe" was the last thing she had said to him. "Love you to the moon and back honey" was the last thing Matt had said to her. The feeling of not know it would be the last time had never occurred to Matt. Now listening to Luke, it was an all to familiar thing.
Placing his head on Luke's shoulder, Matt was comfortable in himself to do such. They sat in silent both in a pattern of memory & thoughts as Matt gradually dozed off to sleep.
It was some time before Matt awoke, and he sensed that the light had changed. It was dark outside and the pool house was illuminated by a lamp on in the corner. Luke hadn't appeared to move, and yet Matt had his head on Luke's lap, with appeared to be a hard on pressing against head. Frozen, Matt wasn't sure what to do. Move? Stay? God knows, but the thing that surprised him most was that his own cock was starting to firm up with the head and part of his shaft making an appearance between the gap of the towel he was wearing.
"Do I cover it, do I leave it? Do I touch it? Damn you, I am so fucking horny!" Matt's internal voices were going off!
The answer was made it's self when Luke's voice piped up from above, "Sorry buddy, but if you move your head one more time, my cock is going to explode. You've been tossing and turning on it for the past 20mins." He added with a laugh.
"I get you, mine is playing up as well, but I have hardly used it of late"
As he said that, he pulled his towel back to expose his meat cut cock with a head glistening with slickness of precum.
"Damn boy, that is impressive" Luke said as his eyes lit up.
"I've shown another guy before." A nervous Matt said
"That's OK. I'm not about to maul you." Responded Luke.
"I had had Jeremy, my butler, bring some clothes out that should fit you. Please, stay for dinner. I think we could both use the company."
"Um, ah, I don't know, is that ok."
"What? 2 men having dinner? I am sure it is completely respectable in most homes across the country" Luke chuckled as he said it.
Embarrassed by his own comment Matt stood up, now completely naked. "Sure if it is no problem"
"As long as you put that weapon away, unless you have a permit" Luke grinned.
Forgetting he was naked he looked down to see his semi hard, fat cock hanging in the breeze.
"Fuck, sorry, I, I, fuck" was all he said as he grabbed his towel trying to regain some modesty.
"I have seen it all now. No use covering it up" Luke said as he tossed a pair of Cargo shorts and a tank at Matt.
As they walked up to the house they talked about the gardens, what Jim's ultimate plan was, and how Luke was trying to create it. It made sense and Matt was fully engaged in the conversation. That all stopped as they walked in the front door on the palatal residence.
"Fuck me! I have never seen anything so beautiful, or big, and definitely no were have I ever seen so much marble."
"Yes, its not a bad joint to retire in" Smiled Luke. I will give you the guided tour after dinner, but right now Jeremy will kill us if we don't eat.
"I just need to text Jeff. He's rung a handful of times. Always checks in on me these days" Shooting off a quick text he re-joined Luke in the dining room for dinner.
Steak was served with an amazing sauce, vegetables of every variety and a salad. Wine was poured and baskets of bread placed on the table.
"Beats the left over pizza I was having" Matt smiled
"Any time Mr. You are welcome. You seem like one of the good guys" Luke responded. Genuinely believing his comment, based on the limited interaction they'd had.
Having eaten dinner and consumed almost two bottles of wine, the two men rose and stretched.
"Please, let me give you the 10 cent tour of this place"
"Lead the way!" Matt replied eager. Not sure if it was the alcohol or some odd anticipation he was feeling.
Room after room, art work after are work, they arrived in what was arguably the largest master suite Matt had ever seen.
"Welcome to the `Love Shack' " Luke said laughing at his own corny line.
"That bed is massive, huge, biggest I have ever seen" said Matt laughing, definitely feeling the side effects of alcohol.
"Please. Feel free to try it out hahaha" was all Luke responded as Matt acting like some frat boy took a run and jump on to the bed.
Burying his head in the pillows, the muffled talk coming out it Luke couldn't understand.
"What are you saying in there"
"I said, I could just close my eyes and sleep here for ever, it is so so comfortable"
"Matt, look at me for a moment" the tone in Luke's voice changed as Matt turned his head to look at Luke.
"You are more than welcome to sleep here. It doesn't make you gay, it wont hurt your masculinity, but, for one night, it might stop the demons from keeping you awake"
Matt just looked at Luke. He knew what he was talking about. Sleeping alone was the hardest part of losing his wife.
"Its not weird? I'm not worried about you hitting on me or anything, I've just never thought of sleeping with another guy for company"
"Well how about I get you some pyjama's to sleep in, and you stay here. God knows you are too drunk to drive"
"If its ok with you, can I sleep naked. My boys prefer it when they breath at night" a blushing Matt said.
"As long as I can do the same."
"Deal, just you stay to your side of the bed" Matt grinned, kind of sort of meaning it, as he was nervous.
Removing their clothes, Matt caught a glimpse of Luke's cock. It was flacid, and really not much different from own. Sure he'd seen guys cocks before, Porn, Gym, guys in college change rooms, but he'd never really noticed a guys cock before. It was weird. Feeling himself get a little firm below, he quickly dived under the covers as Luke slid in next to him.
There was a good deal of space between them as they chatted about different things. Matt's childhood upbringing, Luke's journey to come out, marrying a billionaire, and a few laughs. But the time came to get some sleep, and as Luke turned the light off, they both closed their eyes to sleep.
Sometime had passed when Matt felt stirring next to him, he tightened his grip and ushered "Shhh it's still late, go back to sleep" before he himself doing likewise. It wasn't long before he subconsciously started grinding his hard cock in the crack of the person he was now spooning, trying to gain entry into the forbidden land.
"Matt, if you keep doing that, I may as well just get some lube" came a voice not instantly recognisable.
"What, where am I"
"It's ok" Luke said in a soothing tone. "I think you thought you were with someone else"
As Matt pulled back from Luke, he realised how hard and wet he was, how unbelievably fucking horny he was.
"It felt so good. It's been so long" Matt said as he laid on his back.
Luke, thinking this through, took the courage on board and reached over and wrapped his had around Matts cock. Not moving, not breathing & certainly not looking, Matt allowed the older man to continue on stroking him.
"Does that feel good, boy" Luke grunted
"Yeah, it feels so good. I am so horny"
"Want me to wrap my lips around you"
Matt didn't respond, instead, placing his hand behind the older man's neck and forcing him down on his shaft, making sure he took every inch he could.
"Fuck yeah, suck that cock daddy" slipped from Matts lips, almost inaudible as he thrashed his head around arching his back as he knew there was not much time left before he burst.
As Luke slid between his legs and started to lick his balls, lowering down to his arsehole, Matt could not believe how good it was to have someone tongue fuck his arse. Yeah, sure, he'd seen it in porn, always done on a woman, but damn, who had kept this secret from him.
Having his arse eaten was the BEST THING EVER he had experienced, and as Luke worked his cock, whilst rimming him, Matt let out a massive groan, before shooting a hot steamy load far beyond his head, on to the head board, then several more covering his chest, face and torso.
"Fuck me. What was that" Matt said. Resulting in him laughing out loud.
"Glad you enjoyed it. Don't move, I will get a cloth to clean you up"
Luke returned with a warm wash cloth, which he proceeded to wipe Matt down with. Matt noticed Luke's cock was still hard.
"Um, is there something I'm supposed to do now. Jerk you or something. I am kinda new here" Matt asked sheepishly
"Yeah, there is, roll over, spoon me and go to sleep. It's late"
With that they resumed their positions in bed. Matt playing the role of the big spoon, Luke the little spoon.
As so many thought rolled around Matts head, he pulled the older man closer. "Thank you" was all he said as he kissed his neck. "Maybe this was meant to happen"
"Maybe" said Luke in reply before they both dozed off.
