**************** Ahmad left and I looked at Ali who was already sitting on the edge of the bed. His back was hunched and looking at the floor with both arms dangling in resignation. I never saw him like this before, suddenly he looked tiered and drained but I knew the reason why. He never told me about what happened between him and Karim. Guess he was troubled by that and also feeling ashamed of it feeling that he had deceived me. I walked the few steps separating us and kneeled in front of him, taking both hands in mine. I raised them and kissed them. He lifted his eyes and looked at me. His eyes spoke of dread, fear and shame.
"Ali, you mean everything to me. Have no fear, no doubts. We are here away from it all. What happened has happened. You had no control. You survived and today here we are in this place of our own choice. I left my country and all behind, my daughter and son just to be with you. Do you think that now I will let go of you? This is what we've been dreaming of. Be together. Time and love will heal your inner wounds. Have no fears. You only have to know that without you I am incomplete".
Our tears flowed and were beyond control. All I was aware of is holding him in my arms. I disengaged myself and turned. Leaving him there without further words. I headed to the bathroom and turned the water in the tub to fill and adjusted the temperature. As I returned to the bedroom I shed all my cloths. He looked at me. No more tears, only red puffed eyes. I stood in front of him and reached out with my hand and lifted his face. I looked into his eyes and smiled. I kissed him on the lips. I gently pulled him up and took him into my arms and hugged him to me. I love him and nothing he had said or what he had not is going to change that.
"I love you Ali"
Without waiting for a reply, I guided him to the bathroom. I made him stand and gently started to open the buttons of his shirts, exposing his hairy chest. I ran my hands in that fine brown carpet of his. The touch was electrifying. I let my fingers linger there and touched his nipples that were hidden in that hairy carpet, a sigh escaped his lips. I planted a kiss on his lips and smiled "All will be Ok ..I love you no matter what" I said
I proceeded to take his shirt off and then unbuckled his belt. My fingers moving of their own accord to his fly. I pulled down both his trousers and underwear, I lifted his feet and pulled them off along with his shoes. I took off his socks. His cock was level now with my face standing up erect and proud. I looked up and wanted to take him in my mouth, I was tempted.
I stood up and lead him to the tub. It was full by now. I turned off the water and stepped in, pulling him with me. I lied there and settled him with me hugging his slim body to mine. I kissed the top of his head. It was heaven to hold him like that in my arms feeling his body heat and heart beat. It wasn't easy to restrain myself.
"All in time, lover, just relax" I said, running my hands on his chest.
"Terry .. I Love you . I honestly wanted to tell you about what happened but every time I come close to the point of telling you, something holds me back. I fear losing you. I have never loved anyone as much in my whole life except my son and that is different kind of love. I couldn't bear to have you hate me, reject me. I would have died or spent the rest of my life in a mental house."
"Shhhhh.. "
"No, let me finish, tonight I do not know what happened and how all flowed out in the open. I guess being here and Ahmed with us. He also means a lot to me but not as much as you do. I consider him my brother. I guess deep inside I wanted him to know too. I only hope that your opinion of me hasn't and will not change."
He said this with eyes reflecting all the anxiety and anticipation that was in his heart "No.. Nothing has changed" I assured him "Do you take me as fool to judge you on something that was forced on you? You know me I am non judgmental. No, my love, you were powerless to do anything about it at the time, but later you did, you did the most sensible thing one would do. Kept quite and took the right action. Left them behind and started a new life away from it all. It hurt you a lot financially but you won your life, dignity and pride and that was the only thing that you could have done "I smiled and could feel his body relax a bit. "I am sorry that it had to happen but still if it did not how on earth we could have come together, and I would find my true love. Ali, I am 54 years and all through my life I have been searching for that one person that I would love to the extent where I am ready to give my life for. I havwe known many men before but non was the one that I wanted as my significant other. Now that I have found you do you think that I will let this thing come between us .. no lover, What kind of a fool do you take me for? you are mine and I am yours now and forever, for better or worse"
"Is that a proposal?"
On second thoughts .. why not .. "yes, it is ... would you accept me as yours forever?"
He laughed, at last all the tension gone, he peered into my eyes, trying to detect any mockery but he found none. I meant very word I had said.
"Yes .. Yes .. I will be a fool not to accept and let go of you .. I am yours as much as you are mine" with that he turned around and kissed me with such force that my head bumped at the tub's edge. Laughing, he apologized.
He turned around and resettled in my embrace. I continued to caress his front. A heavy sigh escaped his lips. The hot water was doing its job, he moaned. His cock stood at attention. It's circumcised head peaking out of the surface of the water. I leaned forward and planted small kisses on top of his head. I noticed that it was in the processes of balding. I smiled, it won't be long and he will not be able to call me baldy or leather top anymore. My hands traveled down his stomach heading to the beautiful awaiting prize. One touched the protruding head the other traveled lower under the water to hold his balls and give it a light squeeze. He moaned again.
The water had turned cold by now. We stood and I turned the shower on, taking the soap bar and started to lather his front, something I always enjoyed doing. He did the same and we embraced, sharing a kiss, pressing our bodies. The soap adding to the sensation of feeling our bodies sliding against each other. We held each other and continued to kiss. Our arousal was very obvious and painful. Seeking release. I took his cock in my hand and started to move it along its length, taking this as a cue Ali did the same. It did not take long with our bodies moving each other, kissing and hands caressing we both came at the same time. Spilling our seed on each other. Panting, we continued to kiss and hold each other, no words were uttered. Gathering our strength we rinsed each other and then we got out of the tub. We dried each other. I took his hand and guided him back to the bedroom and to bed. He pulled the covers and lied on his back. Opening his arms for me.
I settled my self in his embrace feeling his hands roam over my back. His legs opened wider, imprisoning. His mouth sought mine and we shared and long deep kiss, our lips pressed in a fierce kiss, it was not just a simple loving kiss, it was a kiss confirming that we were one. I broke the kiss and looked into his eyes. They were shining. I kissed his eyes, the tip of his nose and then his lips again.
"Go to sleep love, we both are tired and tomorrow is our real new beginning. We need to start planning"
"Yeah .. I do feel tiered .. I love you Terry" and with that he hugged me and nestled himself to me. I was only a few minutes and he was asleep.
"Hello .It's me, welcome back?"
"Thanks, Did Ali come to see you?"
"Yes and someone else too... you wouldn't believe me when I tell you?"
"Try me?"
"Well he came with another guy and introduced him as his lover"
"That is Ali, it doesn't surprise me. He was always like that unpredictable."
"His lover is American .. wouldn't you know?"
"I knew that already"
"What? How come?"
`Tell you later"
"Will I see you tonight?"
"But your friends are there? It would be a big shock for them to see me let alone seeing us together?"
"Please I need to see you. We need to talk?"
"OK, wait for me outside your house, say in fifteen minutes time. We can have a walk on the beach and talk. I want to see you too, I missed you"
"Me too, fifteen minutes it is then.. bye"
"Bye"
I do not know how long it was but I guess that I had dozed. Something woke me up. Ali was no more pressed to me but had rolled away lying on his side on the edge of the bed. A habit he acquired in his marriage days. I stared at his back. I head a faint sound outside. Leaving the bed as gently as possible trying not to wake him. I went to the window.
There heading to the gate was Ahmed, wearing a pair of shorts and a T-shirt. As he opened the gate a car pulled up. A new white Mercedes. Ahmed closed the gate and hurries to open the door. A man, about the same hight of Ahmed struggeled out. It seemed he was having a slight difficulty. I could not make out his face but saw him taking something from his side. A walking Stick. Then he adjusted his legs and got out of the car, putting his weight on the stck. He seemed to have difficulty with his left leg. He stood. And held his arm to Ahmed who went and hugged him. After a while he closed the door. One arm against Ahmad's shoulder he led them both in the direction of the beach.
I kept on staring, both crossed the street and started to walk on the beach. The other man was dressed in suite, a very dignified posture was surrounding him, you could easily know that he was a man of importance.
They walked and it was obvious they were both having a serious talk, it seemed mostly the talking was done by the other man. Ahmad was nodding his head most of the time. After a while they both stopped. The other still with his arm on Ahmed's shoulder. Both stood there looking at far horizon. Then they turned their heads and Ahmad put his arms around the others neck they kissed deeply. They parted and turned around and headed back to the car.
"I missed you"
"Me too .. sorry we can't be together tonight"
"Yeah ..but do not worry we soon will be"
"Tomorrow I will take them to the hotel and get their things. I want them to stay with me, be close by"
"But be careful and don't let them know about me, not until what we have planned. It won't take long but I want Ali settled, then..OK"
"OK.. now go before anyone notices..it is very late"
"You are right. Love you"
"Love you too.. please drive carefully. Call me when you wake up in the morning"
"Why? Don't you want me to call when I get home?"
"No, I want you to rest. You look tiered and in need of sleep. Go now lover"
"Give me another kiss"
"Someone might see us!"
"No one is around. Now give me that kiss"
They kissed and then the man got in the car and drove away. Ahmed remained standing until it disappeared. Something was nagging in me, something was wrong. Who is this mysterious man meeting Ahmed at such a late hour. A secret lover, Well, we will know sooner or later. The most important thing to me was Ali. I hope all this has nothing to do with him. Only two lovers meeting discreetly, but no..this was more than that. Ahmed became very pale when Ali mentioned Karim and was very much shaken later when I went to help in the kitchen and the way he acted... somehow I will get to the bottom of all this.
By now a faint grey line was appearing on the horizon, I felt tiered and headed back to bed. I got in and hugged Ali to me. Surrendering myself to sleep feeling his body heat..
