Journal of the Undead
Chapter two.
The silence racked the compartment of the car. I reached for the door handle and opened the car door. Some how Kevin managed to beat me out of the car. A police man walked up to us. "I'm going to have ask you to stay back," the officer said.
"I'm Ben Atke the owner of this gallery," I spoke up. "Can you tell me what happened?"
"It was an electrical fire," the officer replied. "You lost quite of bit of art work in there." I rolled my eyes at the officer stating the obvious.
"Yea try like over several hundred thousand dollars worth," I said my eyes filling with tears.
"I hope you had insurance," the cop commented.
"Yes I did," I replied as a small measure of relief washed over me. I looked over at Kevin and frowned. "Kevin?" I asked softly.
"He did this," Kevin muttered. "I just know he did."
"The officer said it was an accident," I reminded Kevin. Kevin nodded but I could tell that he didn't buy it. "Come on let's get out of here!" I grumbled.
Two days have passed since the burning of my gallery. All of my artwork with the exception on the work I had shipped to buyers had been destroyed. The Police had assured me that it wasn't arson. It was an electrical problem. So my insurance would cover the cost of the destruction. I would come out ahead in the game actually. The gallery was insured at over a million dollars. Each piece was insured as well. By the end of it all I would get a nice fat check from the insurance company. Kevin was hotter than a fire cracker. He was convinced that Trey had done it. But there was no evidence pointing to him. Speaking of Trey, he was now solely responsible for the town house now. That was funny because after I had moved all of my stuff out poor Trey had a small dining room set and a twin bed. That was it. He was going to have refurnish his place. He was not amused but I couldn't care less. Now you are probably asking where I am living now. Kevin asked me to move in with him but I said no. Crazy? Well I don't think so. I'm still undecided on my feelings for him. Whenever I am around him he is all I think about. When I am alone I am like going through withdraws from him. I guess you can call it love. Sara is always scolding me about not moving in with him. Speaking of Sara, she is standing with me right now at a very nice town home that we are looking at. Kevin is talking to the seller asking about security issues. Sara is pointing out everything that is wrong with the place. And believe me she is being picky. All because she is convinced that Kevin and I should be living together. We are as she puts it. Soul Mates! Ugghh women. They really bug me! Especially matchmaking ones!
"See the bedroom window faces the west!" she complained. "It should face the east."
"And have the sun hit me in the face every morning? I don't think so!" I asked rolling my eyes. "Face it Sara, you are not going to like anything I pick because I'm not moving in with Kevin."
"You know I am right," Sara huffed crossing her arms across her chest. "You should be with Kevin."
"For the last time Sara," I sighed looking at her. "I'm not ready to move in with him. I want to make sure that I am truly in love with him and he is in love with me too. I'm not going to make the same mistake that I made when I moved in with Trey."
"Is Sara still trying to convince you to move in with me?" a deep soft voice sounded from behind me. I looked back and up and saw Kevin standing behind me. "She is right you know."
"About what?" I asked as I headed towards the kitchen. Since I loved to cook I wanted to check it out again.
"I have a huge house and I am all alone in it. I would love to have you there," he said softly as he kissed lightly on the back of my neck sending little shivers up and down my spine. He also gave me a little love bite too. I smacked his arm and he pouted for a few seconds before resuming his relentless attack. "Please?" he pleaded. "I am tired of being alone and if I know you, you're not a loner either." I went to answer him but he put his finger on my lips. I sucked it into my mouth sucking on it and giving him a naughty grin. "You are being naughty," he said softly retrieving his finger. "At least look at it? I'll think you will like it." I sighed heavily. I was not going to win this argument.
"Fine," I sighed. "I'll take a look at it." Kevin's face lit up with a huge smile. After smiling he took a large drink of water from a blue bottle he carried around. In fact I notice that he carried that bottle around wherever he went. He was never with out it.
"What is that?" I asked pointing at the bottle of water.
"My water," Kevin said as he recapped it.
"I've never seen that brand before," I replied.
"It is imported," Kevin said quickly. "Now how about we go look at my place?"
"Can I come?" Sara asked.
"Well I guess so," I said sighing. "I mean we do have to have your approval over it don't we? But I'm not moving in with you. I like this place. It is roomy and well I like it." I could tell that Kevin was not happy. I snaked my arms around him and whispered in his ear. "But that don't mean I can sleep over once in a while."
We finally left the town home and headed over to Kevin's place. After an hour of driving we pulled off the main road and headed up and very long and steep hill. The driveway was paved but it was very steep. Finally we came to a gate and it swung open for us. After another five minutes of driving the house came into view. How should I explain it? Well I guess a gothic Castle was one way of looking at it. I looked at Sara and she shrugged her shoulders. "Umm Kevin?" I asked looking up at the towers of the house. "Why do you live in a castle?"
"I like the place and it is remote and isolated," Kevin replied. We pulled up to the front of the house and climbed out. Kevin walked up to the front door and placed his hand on a control panel. I saw a red light slide over the bottom of his hand and than heard a loud clunking noise. Than the front doors swung open. Ok so this wasn't your average gothic castle. This one was very modern. "Place your hand on the panel," Kevin instructed me. I did and Kevin than addressed the computer console. "Computer please register the handprint as Ben Atke guest and resident with 02 clearance."
"Done," the computer's voice sounded over the small speaker. "Welcome home Master Ben. We hope you enjoy your stay at the Fairmount Estates."
"Now the computer will recognize your hand print and allow you access to the house. The north tower is off limits," Kevin said with a hint of harshness to his voice. Now with all the contact that I had with Kevin over the last three days he never once gave me reason to fear him. But the tone of his voice did send shivers up my spine.
"Umm ok," I stammered. "So this is your house."
"Yes it is," Kevin replied with pride. "Let me show you around and maybe you will decide to stay here." For the next hour we toured the living quarters of the castle and I had to say that I was impressed. The place was huge and it had an ancient feel to it and at the same time it was very modern. We finally came to two big doors and Kevin pushed them open and a huge German Shepard came at me barking and growling. I jumped back startled. Kevin stuck out his hand and spoke to the dog. "Rex," he said in a soothing voice. "Stay, and be calm." The dog immediately sat down and laid his head in-between his paws and looked up at Kevin with huge puppy dog eyes. "Good boy, now go make nice with Ben." Rex got up and trotted over to me and licked my hand.
"Hello Rex," I said smiling down at him and reached behind his ears and begin to scratch him. Soon he was making little grunting noises and was obviously very content to let me scratch him all he wanted. "Where will I sleep?" I asked. "That is of course if I stay here."
"With me," Kevin said looking at me with those intense green eyes. "Is that ok?"
"Ummm yea I umm guess," I stammered.
"Don't worry," Kevin laughed softly. "I'm not going to molest you or anything." For some reason I was disappointed to hear him say that. I shook myself to regain control of myself. "Come on," Kevin said softly. I'll show you my room. Sara would you mind staying behind?" I noticed that Rex had taken a spot in front of the door and was looking intently at Sara. "We'll only be a minute." Kevin gave her a very charming smile and to my surprise Sara blushed! Sara never blushed.
"Yea sure Kevin," Sara giggled. "I'll just stay here and keep Rex company." I followed Kevin up to his bedroom. Once we were in the room I was amazed at it. In the center of the room was a huge bed. The entire room was done up in royal purple and deep blues and black. I loved it. It suited Kevin. There was a huge fire place and there was a fire crackling that filled the room with a comforting glow. I looked up at Kevin and smiled.
"I love it," I said. "The bed looks very comfortable."
"Want to try it out," Kevin said looking deep into my eyes. I swallowed hard and took his hand. Something in the back of my head told me to say no. But a huge part of me was screaming yes. I allowed him to guide me to the bed. He slid onto it and I followed. At some point I had lost my shirt. Kevin's hands were on my chest as he bent down and kissed me full on the lips. I reached for the buttons on his shirt as well and soon had hid shirt off too. Once his shirt was off my lips and tongue immediately latched onto his nipples. His deep soft moans filled the room and served me to go further. I was dimly aware of Kevin's hands on my waist and my hands were busy too trying to take Kevin's clothes off too. I yelped in pleasure as his hands wrapped around my shaft. His lips and teeth nipped at my shoulder and I nipped back. "Lie back love," he whispered huskily. I fell back on the soft confines of the bed and the feel of silk brushed up against my skin. I looked up at Kevin as he loomed over the top of me. His broad shoulders and chest and abs towered over me. I let out a small whimper as I reached for his thick black belt. He guided my hands to his belt and soon I had them undone and was pulling at his pants. Soon all he had on was his boxers. I growled softly as I quickly pulled them down too. I smiled greedily at his cock as it stood out tall and proud. I wanted that cock in me and I wanted it now.
"Take me Kevin!" I pleaded with him.
"Are you sure my love?" his voice sounded in my head. "Because once we cross that line there is no turning back."
"Please?" I pleaded with him. He lowered himself onto me and I shuddered as soon as his hot body came in touch with mine. I could feel his rock hard cock against mine. His lips came crashing down on mine and his tongue dove into my mouth. I was lost in the emotions that flooded me. His lips and tongue and teeth were everywhere. Nipping biting kissing and sucking. The pain of his bites intermixed with the pleasure of his lips and tongue. I was moaning and whimpering for more. Finally he lifted my legs up and placed them on shoulders and placed the head of his cock up against my whole. He looked down at me and growled an animalistic growl and impaled me with his cock with one sudden push. I went to scream with pain but it was cut off with his mouth on mine. He paused a few minutes to allow me to get used to him. Once I started to move my hips he started too. His thrusts were soft and gentle at first and grew with intensity. It was all I could do to hold on to his shoulders. I thrilled at his rock hard body slamming against mine. Every time he rammed in his cock would hit my prostate gland sending waves of pleasure through me. Kevin was sweating bullets and was groaning and grunting loudly now. I just hung for the ride. I could feel my orgasm growing and soon I blasted my load in-between us. This drove Kevin over the edge and I felt his cock swell and he moaned and shivered violently as he shot his load into me. I loved the feeling of him pumping his load into me. I had made love with Trey before and it was never like this. Trey it was fast and hard. But with Kevin it was fast hard slow gentle loving it was all of those things. Kevin made sure I was enjoying my self too. Finally Kevin pulled out and lay beside me. I lay there panting trying to get my breath. I was barely aware of Kevin wiping me clean. I felt his lips grace mine as he wrapped his arms around me and pulled me close to him. I was so comfortable right now in his arms that I did the one thing that came naturally. I fell asleep.
From Kevin's point of view.
I watched Ben sleeping peacefully in my arms and in my bed. I was so happy that he was here with me. I just wish there was a way to convince him to stay with me. He moaned softly and snuggled closer to me. I leaned down and kissed him lightly on the forehead. I took this time to really look at his body. His body was tight and very well formed. He wasn't really big but his muscles were very well defined. He reminded me a cat. He was curled up and resting his head on the royal purple silk pillow. His dirty blonde hair was still damp from our lovemaking. I reached out and gently moved a stray hair from his angelic face. I still couldn't believe that Trey would hurt Ben like that. Ben was the most gentle person I had ever met. He was kind loving and sexy. I loved the way he made love. He put his entire body into it. I loved making love to him too. I had made love to many men and a few women too. But none of them had put as much love and energy into it as Ben did. I thrilled at his little moans and whimpers. And when he came, well let's just say it was like seeing a small piece of heaven just for a few seconds. I was hooked. I was in love. I looked longingly at him and wondered how long this would last. He whimpered softly and reached for me. I snuggled closer to him and closed my eyes too and allowed sleep to over take me as well.
"An hour later I woke and looked around and didn't see Ben. I swung out of bed and slipped on my boxers and shorts and padded down the stairs. I heard growling. I picked up my speed and ran into the living room. There I saw what had to be the cutest thing I had ever seen. There on all fours was Ben with one of a sock in his mouth and the other end of the sock was in Rex's mouth. They were both growling at each other trying to pull the sock out of the other's mouth. "Ahem!" I coughed. Ben spit out the sock and looked up with the cutest expression on his face. Rex just picked up the sock and declared victory and trotted over to me and dropped the sock at me feet and sat down waiting to be praised. I reached down and scratched him behind his ears. In no time at all he was grunting very happily. "Did you have a nice sleep?"
"Very," Ben said blushing. "So umm what do we do now?"
"Do you trust me?" I asked still petting Rex. Ben nodded and I held out my hand and he took it. The touch of his flesh on mine sent desire burning through me again. "Come, I want to show you something."
From Ben's point of view.
Kevin was like a kid as he dragged me through his house. I soon found myself outside and walking down a path. The air was cool and fresh and the wind was blowing softly and it felt good on my skin. I soon found us standing outside a small house. Well I really shouldn't say small. But to compare to the palace that Kevin lived in this was small. He opened the door and we stepped in. I looked around and than glared hard at Kevin. "Want to tell me why my furniture is here?"
"I had it moved here," Kevin said looking hurt. "I thought that this would be a good compromise."
"You should've asked!" I hurled at him. "How come I get the impression that you are trying to force your will on me. I've told you a hundred times that I don't want to move in! And yet you keep trying to manipulate me into doing just that."
"You won't be living with me!" Kevin shouted at me. "You're almost a mile from the main house. You will have your privacy. Please Ben I love you and I need you close to me."
"Why?" I demanded. "Why do you need me near you?"
"I love you dammit!" Kevin shouted. I was surprised to see his eyes water. "I'm lonely dammit. I haven't had anyone to hold me or love for a long time," Kevin sobbed out.
"Forcing me to live somewhere I don't want to is not a way to show me that you love me!" I hurled back at him. I stomped out of the house and walked back down the path. At some point I notice that Sara was following me. "What?" I demanded.
"So you're running?" she asked looking at me hard. "You know he loves you."
"He has a really strange way of showing it," I muttered.
"What are you afraid of?" Sara asked.
"I'm not afraid of anything!" I hurled at her.
"Yes you are," Sara said grinning. "Want me to tell you what it is?"
"Can I really stop you?" I asked glaring at her.
"Good boy," she said grinning again. "Now here is what you are afraid of. You're afraid of falling in love with someone who is older than you and someone who really and truly loves you. Kevin loves you. And the thought of a high power celebrity falling in love with you has the shit scared out of you."
"You don't know anything," I muttered. "I am not afraid of falling in love with him. If I was afraid of falling in love with him I wouldn't have--," I stopped talking and glared off into space. I felt her hand on my shoulder. "I can't help it." I sniffled. "I want him so bad. I can feel him in me! It was never like this when I was with Trey!"
"It is called true love," Sara said softly in my ear. "Now why don't you do what is right and go back to that nice house that Kevin is offering to let you stay in rent free and accept his hospitality?" I sighed and headed back. I turned to see if Sara was going to follow me. "I have to get back into town," she quickly said as she headed towards the main gate.
"Traitor," I grumbled. I heard a snuffing noise and felt a cold wet nose hit me in the palm of the hand and I looked down to see Rex standing there looking up at me waiting for me to scratch his ear. I reached behind him and scratched away. He leaned against me and let me scratch him.
"Now that you started he will expect it forever now," a deep soft voice rolled over me. I turned to see Kevin walking down the path. Once again I marveled at how beautiful he was. He glided over the path with a grace of a dancer. I had to remind myself that he was a dancer. I heard Rex whimper and I looked down to discover that I had stopped petting him. I resumed and he was silent again. "I waited until Sara was gone," Kevin said. "I wanted to apologies for assuming that you would want to live here with me."
"Don't," I replied. I walked up to Kevin and into his outstretched arms. I shivered as he wrapped his arms around me. I heard a huffing noise behind me and glanced back to see Rex lying on the ground with his head in between his paws looking up at me as if he had lost his best friend. "If anything I should apologies to you."
"What do you mean?" Kevin asked. I could feel his heartbeat when I put my hand on his chest. It was slow and steady and strong.
"What I mean is I am sorry for being a jerk," I said grinning up at me. "And if the offer still stands for me to live her on the property with you than I accept." I watched Kevin's face break into a smile that lit up his entire face. I decided at that moment that I would be spending a lot more time making him smile.
"So now what?" he asked with a silly grin.
"Now we go back up to the guest house and you give me a tour," I replied snaking my arm around his waist. "Do you want to know what part of the house I want to see the most?" Kevin looked down at me and raised his eyebrows. I smiled at him and giggled. "The bedroom silly." Kevin blushed and I busted up laughing. "Oh and I plan on trying it out too."
"How come I get the feeling that you are horny all the time?" Kevin asked looking a little worried.
"Oh I think you are up to it sexy," I giggled. "Now come on, I can't wait to see it." As we walked up to the house I looked up at Kevin. "You know this is not a small house."
"I know," Kevin replied. "I want you to be comfortable." He opened the door and I walked in. This time I took the time to explore the house. I noticed that it was full of the latest gadgetry. "Well I notice how much you like that Technology stuff," Kevin explained.
"Thank you," I said. "Now how about that tour you promised me in the bedroom." Kevin rolled his eyes and grinned at me. "Hey! I'm an active boy! I need my exercise!"
"I think you could do with out once in a while," Kevin chuckled.
"Yea I could but than what fun would that be?" I giggled grabbing his hand and pulled him towards the stairs. "Now be a good host and show the bedroom!" Yea I know I was horny hell I'm horny all the time. And just standing next to this hunk made me even more horny. Finally he sighed and followed me up the stairs. He led me into a room and I gasped when I saw it. It was done in royal purple and dark woods. I loved it.
"You like it?" Kevin asked.
"Oh yea," I whispered. "I love Purple and dark woods."
"So want to try out your new bed?" Kevin asked grinning at me.
"Why not," I giggled. "I mean I've already tried out your bed so why not try out mine too?" Kevin lay back on the bed and I fell on top of him. I loved being on top of him. I loved the feeling his rock hard chest against mine. Soon we were a squirming mass of flesh as we pulled each other's close off. I was anxious to get to Kevin's cock and finally my hands closed on the rigid pole of flesh. Kevin let out a low moan as I attacked the underside of it with fast urgent licks. My tongue lapping along the underside of the throbbing flesh sounded in the otherwise quiet room. I continued to pay attention to my lover's cock. Moving to the tip of I dove into the slit whole. Kevin let out a yelp and pushed down on the top of my head and bucked his lips.
"God Ben!" he rasped out. "God you are so good!" I smiled up at him as I took one of his balls and sucked into his mouth with a wet sloppy sound. I could feel his body trembling from the pleasure I was giving him. I could tell by the flow of pre-come that was flowing from him that Kevin was just on the brink. His deep manly moans took on a high pitch yelping sound. I had no idea that Kevin could make that sound. I knew that I had him where I wanted him but Kevin being a top reached down and pulled me up until I was staring him in the eyes. "I want to fuck so hard right now!" His voice was so thick with lust that it drove me wild. I just swallowed hard and nodded. In about two seconds Kevin had my shorts off and his cock buried in me. I moaned and whimpered at the same time. Kevin was driving into me like a mad man. His lust was driving him like a man possessed. I grabbed for him but he grabbed my arms and held them down as he continued to drive his cock deep into me. "You like that?" he rasped out. "You like my cock in your ass fucking you?" Kevin asked leering down at me. I nodded unable to speak. "Say it!" Kevin growled out.
"God Yes!" I groaned out. "I love it! Shove that cock up my ass!" I ordered him.
"Yea that is how I want you!" Kevin grunted out. "You look fucking hot with my cock in your tight little ass!" All the while he continued to fuck me he talked dirty to me. It really turned me on. Finally he slammed into me one last time and I could feel my insides burning from his seed blasting into me. I yelped out in a short high pitch yelp and blasted my load in-between our bodies.
"Ben?" asked a soft voice. I was barely aware of a pair of lips gracing my neck and shoulder. "Wake up sweetie." I opened my eyes and looked up into a pair of loving green eyes. "Hi!" he smiled down at me. "You passed out!"
"I did?" I asked shocked. "Wow! No one has ever been able to do that to me!" I breathed out. "That was hot!"
"Yea it was hot wasn't it?" Kevin sighed out. "Are you hungry?" he asked.
"Yea I'm starving!" I replied.
"Good, why don't we get all showered up and go down stairs and check out your kitchen and see what you have," Kevin said softly as he took my hand and pulled me up. I allowed myself to be pulled into his arms and his lips came crashing down on my lips. "Do you know how much I love you?" he asked running his hands through my hair.
"I'm beginning to realize how much," I whispered back. "I love you too Kevin Richardson." I watched Kevin's eyes light up with a joy that I had never seen before. "Well I know what to say to get a smile like that out of you." He giggled as he kissed me again. I have to tell you I was getting used to Kevin's lips on mine. Finally he broke away and I guess I was pouting a little because he smiled down at me.
"I promise after dinner if you want to we will curl up on the couch in front of the fire place and snuggle and kiss all night long," Kevin said kissing my nose.
"That sounds like a wonderful plan," I sighed. Kevin led me into the bathroom. I loved the bathroom. Kevin had it done in dark purple and dark woods too. To my surprise the tub was already full of hot water and bubbles. I looked up at him.
"Well you did pass out for a while. I let you take a nap while I prepared you a nice hot bath," he said. "Want to try it out?" I nodded and allowed Kevin to guide me to the steps that led to the tub. In no time at all I was soaking in pure comfort. Kevin was sitting behind me with his arms wrapped around me. His lips were caressing my neck and shoulders as his hands were busy bathing me. "You are so beautiful," he whispered as he started suck hard on my neck. I let out a small whimper as his teeth nipped at my neck. "Am I hurting you?" he asked softly. I shook my head. "Good," he replied as he continued to suck on my neck.
"You are going to give me a hickey," I moaned out. Not that I cared that much. Any hickey that he gave me I would wear with pride.
"I have to mark my territory," Kevin said in his deep bedroom voice.
"So that is what I am to you," I giggled out.
"Oh no my love," Kevin chuckled softly. He was whispering to me as he continued to kiss me and wash my body. Needless to say I was a puddle of love sick mush as he spoiled me rotten. "You are so much more to me."
"My turn," I replied.
"Your turn for what?" Kevin asked with his green eyes twinkling with humor.
"My turn to wash you now," I replied giving him a naughty look.
"No more sex!" he said in a scolding tone of voice. I pouted for a while. "Are you like this all the time?" he asked grinning. He reached down and grabbed my cock and rolled his eyes. "You are hard?" I blushed and nodded.
"I can't help it," I pouted. "You do wild and crazy things to me."
From Kevin's point of view
"So did he agree to stay with you?" Sara asked over the phone. I glanced over at Ben and smiled as I watched him snuggle down deeper into the soft confines of his sofa. We were watching a movie and he was very comfortable. When I had gotten up to get the phone he had wrapped himself around me like an octopus not wanting to let me go. I had to promise to return before he would let me up. I ran my tongue over my lips where he had just a few minutes ago kissed them. Ben was a great kisser. "Hello!" shouted Sara.
"Ooops sorry," I replied tearing my eyes from the sight of Ben. He was now giving me funny looks over the sofa. "You were saying?"
"Did he agree to stay with you?" she repeated again.
"Yes he did," I said with a smile on my face. "What else do you want to know?"
"Is he happy?" she asked.
"Very," I sighed again.
"Are you happy?" she demanded.
"Very," I sighed looking over at Ben. He was winking at me and pointing to his crotch. Turns out he was horny again. I giggled and rolled my eyes. "Umm Sara?" I asked.
"What?" Sara asked.
"I have to go now," I replied as I pulled off my shirt. Ben's eyes lit up with delight.
"You going to have sex again aren't you?" she demanded.
"As a matter of fact yes," I replied as I slid my shorts down. I felt my cock slap me on the stomach.
"Ewwwww I don't want to know about that! Good bye!" Sara said as she made gagging noices. I dropped the phone and ran over to where Ben was. He giggled at my eagerness. I wrapped my arms around him and pulled his naked body to mine.
"God you make me feel so good," I smiled down at him. "You want something?" He looked down at my cock and licked his lips and nodded eagerly. "Well it is yours if you want it." He giggled as he knelt down in front of me and slipped my cock into his mouth. Soon I was in heaven as he worked my cock.
Three hours later I walked into the bedroom and looked over at Ben. He was sleeping soundly and was on my side of the bed. I had gotten up to go outside and take care of some late night business and he had slipped into my spot. I sighed and retrieved my pillow from his clingy arms and slid into bed with him. His arms immediately wrapped themselves around me. I snuggled deeper into his hold. Usually I was the one who did the holding but I was enjoying Ben holding me too. I heard a huffing noise and looked down at Rex. He was lying on the floor beside us. He looked up at me to make sure I was safe before laying his head between his paws and going back to sleep. I hated getting up late at night. That was the one thing I hated about being who I was. The late nights. I frowned at the metallic taste that still lingered in my mouth. I debated about getting up and brushing my teeth but decided against it. I was warm and comfortable. I was just about asleep when I heard a tapping at the window. Groaning I sat up and looked out. There was Brian standing outside. I swung out of bed and slipped on my silk robe and padded across the room and opened the French doors and let him in. "What is up Brian?" I asked.
"I saw him," Brian said softly. He glanced over at the bed. "Who is that?"
"That is Ben Atke," I replied as I deliberately steered him away from the room. We trotted down stairs and into the living room. I picked up the remote and turned on the fireplace and sat down on the very comfortable sofa. "He is the one I have been telling you about."
"Didn't take you long to get him in bed," Brian said with a smirk.
"I love him Brian," I retorted.
"How can you love him?" Brian asked frowning. "After knowing what is going to happen to him?"
"Nothing is going to happen to him!" I sighed. "I'm going to take care of him."
"Kevin," Brian said in a warning tone of voice. "You know this is very dangerous. You can't fall in love with him."
"Why not?" I demanded. "You fell in love with Nick!"
"That is different and you know it!" Brian shot back. "This Ben guy is an outsider! He has no idea what you are. How the hell are you going to get him to accept you for what you are?"
"Kevin?" asked a sleepy voice. I swore silently and glared hard at Brian. "Where are you?" I could hear him padding down the stairs.
"I'm here sweetie," I replied using my most soothing voice. "I have a visitor."
"At this hour of the night?" Ben asked as he came into view. I was happy that he was not wearing his shirt. He had a pair of silk pajama pants and they made him look so sexy. I reined my feelings in. I patted the seat next to me and he sat down and laid his head on my shoulder.
"Ben," I said as I kissed him on the top of his head. "I want you to meet my cousin Brian."
"Hi," Ben said grinning at Brian. "So what are you doing here keeping my lover awake?" Brian's eyebrows shot up and I had to giggle at Ben's bluntness.
"Umm we had to ummm talk about some stuff," Brian blurted out.
"What kind of stuff?" Ben demanded. He glanced at me and winked.
"Umm you know stuff," Brian stammered. "Look I'm sorry for stopping by like this."
"Hey," Ben said laughing. "It's all cool! I'm just yanking your chain. Can I help?"
"No thank you, I should be going," Brian said as he got up.
"I'll walk you out," I said quickly.
"No," Brian ordered. "I've interrupted enough of your time. I'll stop by later in the day. Nice meeting you Ben."
"Like wise," Ben said stifling a huge yawn.
"Come on sweetie," I smiled down at him. "Let's get you back to bed."
"You coming too?" Ben asked looking up at me.
"Of course," I said as I kissed him lightly on the lips.
"But first you need to brush your teeth," Ben said frowning. I blushed as I headed off to the bathroom to brush my teeth. When I returned I found that Ben had already fallen asleep. I slid into bed next Ben and true to Ben's form he wrapped his arms around me. I sighed happily and closed my eyes and was soon sleeping soundly.
The next morning from Ben's point of view.
"Ben?" Kevin asked as he walked into the kitchen. "How long have you been up?" He paused and sniffed loudly. "And it smells good sweetie."
"Why thank you sexy!" I said with a grin. "Did you have a good sleep?"
"You know it," Kevin sighed as he sneaked a piece of bacon. "The best sleep I've had in a long time. So what do you want to do today?"
"I'm going to check out a few places for a new gallery and studio," I said as I spooned some eggs into Kevin's plate. "What do you have planned for today?"
"Nothing at all," Kevin replied as he poured himself a cup of coffee. He nodded at my cup and I nodded back. "I was hoping to go with you."
"You mean you would spend the entire day with me?" I asked shocked.
"Yes I would," Kevin giggled. We settled down for a nice long breakfast. We basked in each other's company enjoying our time together. Just as we finished our breakfast we I heard the door bell ring. "I'll get it sweetie." Kevin got up and walked over to the door and opened it. "Good morning Brian, Nick." I could tell by the way his voice sounded that he wasn't too happy about seeing them. "We just finished breakfast and were planning on heading out for the day." Now I had always wanted to meet Nick. He was hot and I always wondered just what he was like in person. I walked out into the foyer and saw him standing in all of his glory.
"We have to talk Kev," Nick said. "You can't be in love with this guy."
"And why not?" I asked stepping out so he could see me. "Nick was taller than I was in fact the only person who was about as tall as I was Brian. He looked at me like I was trash. I could feel my temper rising already. I felt the calming hand of Kevin on my shoulder.
"Is this him?" Nick asked as he stepped closer and looked me over as if he was looking at a prized horse or something. "He is a bit scruffy!"
"I'll show you scruffy!" I hissed at him. I moved to pounce on him but felt the loving but firm touch of Kevin's arms around my waist. I could feel his lips nipping on my neck. I shivered but still managed to throw a few glares at Nick. Brian choked back a laugh.
"Easy Ben," Kevin laughed softly. "Don't get all riled up. And yes Nick, this is Ben the one I have fallen love with. You have a problem with that?"
"He is trash!" Nick laughed. I wanted to punch his lights out so bad. Kevin just kissed me on the lips.
"Ben," Kevin said softly. "Go into the living room and wait for me."
"He called me trash!" I insisted. "I wanna kick his ass!"
"I know you do but now is not the time for that," Kevin soothed me. "Look at me." I turned my eyes up at him and was soon lost in the green eyes that I had fallen in love with. "All better?" I nodded and he kissed me on the lips again. I turned and headed into the living room but not before sticking out my tongue at Nick. I know it was childish but it was fun to see the look of surprise on Nick's face and the soft scolding look on Kevin's face. Once in the privacy of the living room I picked up the phone and called Sara.
"Sara here!" came her cheerful voice.
"I'll show him scruffy!" I exploded. "I'm not scruffy! And I'm not trash!"
"Good morning to you too Ben," Sara said slowly. I could just picture the look on confusion on her face. "And yes you are right. You're not Scruffy and definitely not trash. Now be a good boy and tell me what has got you all riled up."
"That Nick Carter is an ass!" I continued to rant. Sara busted up laughing. "Hey! You are supposed to be on my side!"
"I am dear," Sara continued with giggles. "Now tell me all about it." I proceeded to tell Sara all about Nick and how he had called me trash and looked me over like a prized horse or something. When I was done I heard a long sigh at the other end of the line.
"What?" I demanded.
"Ben dear," Sara sighed again. "Nick is threatened by you."
"What?" I yelped. "What does he have to be threatened by? He is like this larger than life celebrity and I'm like this really big nobody!"
"Ok first of all you are not a no body. And second of all Kevin and Nick have a past," Sara replied. Ok so that brought my world to a screeching halt.
"What did you say?" I asked as I felt my blood run cold.
"I said Nick and Kevin have a past," Sara repeated. "But don't worry it was a very long time ago and Kevin is over him."
"Yea but is Nick over him too?" I demanded.
"That I don't know," Sara admitted. "It is a possibility that Nick still has feelings for Kevin. But you don't have to worry about anything. Kevin is madly in love with you and that is what has Nick all pissed off. He is mad because Kevin can fall head over heals in love with you."
"So I have to worry about Nick trying to ruin my relationship with Kevin?" I asked.
"No you don't!" came a deep voice. I turned and saw my sweetie walk into the living room. He had a very stern look on his face. "Nick and I are finished. We've been finished for a long time now."
"Does Nick know this?" I asked. "Listen Sara, Kevin and I have to talk. I'll call you back later."
"Ok sweetie," Sara gushed. "Call me when you get a chance." After hanging up with Sara I felt the welcomed presence of Kevin's arms wrapping around me. I sighed happily when I felt his lips grace the back of my neck.
"Let's sit and talk," Kevin said softly. We sat down on the very comfortable couch. "Why do you think that Nick is out to ruin what we have?"
"Because Sara said you two have a history," I replied.
"Had a history sweetie," Kevin said as he placed his hand against my face. "I love you now and if Nick can't deal with that than that is just his fault."
"But I'm a nobody I mean what can I do to compare to him?" I asked frowning.
"Ok first things first. You are not a nobody! You are an incredibly talented and very sexy and good looking young man. And you are the man that I love very much," Kevin said. "I don't want you to ever say that you are a nobody again. Promise?"
"Ok I promise," I replied. "Now what did Brian and Nick want?"
"I have a meeting to go to with Brian," Kevin sighed. "So I guess I don't get to go with you to look at your new gallery."
"Well you can stop by later if you want," Kevin raised his eyebrows at me. "I mean if you wanted to ummm well let's say umm you wanted to umm initiate it?" Kevin smiled widely and shook his head and leaned into kiss me full on the lips. After kissing me for a few minutes he broke away grinning at my dazed look on my face. I shook my head to clear my thoughts. "Well do you want to?"
"Make love to you?" I nodded eagerly. "In your new studio and gallery?" I nodded again. "Yes." I clapped my hands with glee. "And on that note I'm going to be going now." I watched as Kevin walked out of the room. I sighed as I looked around the living room and I realized that I was very happy. I was in love with an incredible man and I was happy. I mean really happy for a change. Everything seemed to be going my way for a change. Well at least I thought everything was going my way. I heard the door open and I looked up to see Nick walk in.
"Hey slut!" he sneered. "I thought that maybe you and I should have a little talk."
"I don't want to talk to you Nick," I said calmly as I tried to get out of the room. He shoved me hard against the wall. "Leave me alone Nick!" I shouted.
"Sorry slut boy I can't do that," Nick hissed at me. "I have to convince you to leave Kevin and never see him again!"
"I can't leave him!" I yelped out. "He loves me! I would hurt him if I leave him!"
"Hah!" Nick laughed. "You think he really loves you?" I nodded. "Well think again! He doesn't love you! He just uses you as his fuck toy! As a means to shoot his load into some hot mouth or ass! You are nothing but a cum depository to him! In fact I just might use you too to shoot my load!" Nick jerked his pants down showing me his limp cock. "What do you say slut boy. Want a piece of me?" Ok that was enough. I swung and hit Nick in the nose. Five minutes later it was all over. Nick had a bloody nose and I had a black eye and bric-a-brac was broken all over the living room. Nick had gotten the worst of it. Little lesson? Never mess with a guy who knows martial arts. Nick swore that it wasn't over and I would pay. I told him to bring it on any day that he was ready. He flipped me off and I threw my shoe at him as he walked out of the house. It was than that I realized that I was in big trouble. I had just beaten up Nick Carter! International pop star! I was a dead man. As soon as Kevin found out I was a dead man. No doubt about it. I was dead. That was how Kevin found me an hour later. Curled up in bed bawling my eyes out because I was convinced that Kevin was going to toss me out.
"Shhhhhhh," Kevin said soothing me. "I'm not mad at you and I'm not going to toss you out. I love you baby."
"You promise?" I sniffled.
"Yes sweetie," Kevin smiled down at me. "I promise." He kissed me on the lips making sure that I was breathless from it. "Now why don't you tell me what made you beat up Nick." After telling Kevin the entire story Kevin was mad. So mad that he picked up the phone and called Nick on the phone. He put it on speaker so that I could hear it.
"Nick here," came his voice over the speaker.
"Want to tell me why I shouldn't beat the crap out of you?" Kevin said softly.
"Oh hi Kevin!" Nick said cheerfully.
"Don't you fucking hi me!" Kevin shouted. "You gave my lover a black eye! And you exposed yourself to him! Tell me something Nick. Why should I allow you to live?" I put my hand on his shoulder I could feel his muscles relax. "Ok ok," Kevin grumbled. "I'll let you live. But answer me this one question. Why did you feel the need to try and beat up my lover?"
"Because he is trash Kevin," Nick shouted back. "He is not like us! And he will never be like us!"
"Yes he will!" Kevin shouted back at him. "Stay the fuck away from him!" Kevin slammed the phone down. "Fucking prick!"
"Kevin sweetie calm down," I said in my most soothing voice. "It is only a black eye."
"Yea but it is a black eye on you," Kevin replied with tears coming down his face. "Don't you get it sweetie? I hate to see you in pain."
"I know you do but if it makes you feel better you should see Nick," I giggled.
"Oh really?" Kevin asked grinning back.
"Yea really," I replied. "Now why don't you go with me to see the new studio?"
"That sounds like a good idea," Kevin said with a grin. "But first I want to show you a surprise."
"Oh really?" I asked linking my arm with his. "What kind of surprise?"
"One that hopefully you will love," Kevin giggled. "Now let me blindfold you and lead you to it."
I allowed myself to be blindfolded and led outdoors. We finally stopped and he gently removed the blindfold from me. I looked around and looked at Kevin with confusion written on my face. "What is going on?" I asked as I looked around. There was piles of snow white building blocks. And there was large number of people working on a piece of land with construction vehicles and stuff.
"What we have here is the future sight of Atke Studios," Kevin said with a grin.
"But how?" I ask shocked. "Why?"
"Well you said so your self that your insurance covered everything right?" Kevin asked. I nodded silently as I watched the workmen scurry around. "Well I figured that I could front the money to rebuild your studio and get you settled here." I had the feeling that I was being pushed to go in a certain direction. I looked hard at Kevin's eyes and saw only love and hope in his eyes. "Please baby, I want to do this for you. You can pay me back when your insurance money kicks in."
"Ok,' I reluctantly agreed. "But I am paying for this and I don't want you to change your mind and try to pay for all of this."
"Ok," Kevin said with a huge grin on his face. "Ok now that we have taken a look at the new studio what do you want to do for the rest of the day?" I guess he read the horny look on my face. "And no sex until tonight!" I giggled as I snuggled up closer to him. I reached down and stroked his crotch gently. "And that, bad boy, is not going to work," Kevin scolded me. I just giggled some more. "Tell you what why don't you let me show you a very special place of mine?"
"Where is it?" I asked looking up at him and again wondering just how it was that I fell in love with Kevin.
"In the North Tower," Kevin said grinning.
"But you said the North Tower is off limits," I said.
"It was," Kevin said softly. "But if we are going to be a real couple you need to know a few things about me." I suddenly realized that my life was never going to be the same. I wondered what dark secrets Kevin was hiding up there. We walked quietly to the main house and was soon standing outside the huge oak doors that led to the north tower. Kevin moved his hand over the palm pad and to my surprise the door slid into the wall to reveal a elevator. "It is a long way up there." We climbed into the elevator and I was tempted to play the "the elevator got stuck" game. "And no thinking that you are going to have sex in the elevator." Kevin was wearing a very pleased look on his face. I pouted the rest of the ride up. Finally the elevator came to a stop and the door slid opened. We walked into a massive room with a huge fireplace and a fire was burning brightly in it. "This is my inner sanctum. And you are the only one besides me who is allowed up here."
"What is this place?" I asked looking around.
"Come sit with me by the fireplace," Kevin replied taking my hand. I noticed that he seemed to glide along the floor. "Here sit," he said gesturing to the chair. "Let me tell you about my life."
"You make it sound like a ghost story or something," I giggled. I noticed that Kevin wasn't giggling. I noticed that his face took on a far away look on it. "It has been so long since I have been here," Kevin whispered as he stroked the rich deep colored wood on the chair. "I guess I should begin." He looked at me and once again I was filled with a sense of love and protection that seemed to radiate from him.
From Kevin's point of view.
"It all began over 250 years ago," I started. Inside I was like a young Catholic boy getting ready to go to confession for the first time. "For you see that is how old I am."
