After the fabulous brunch and good wishes for the new plane which everyone enjoyed, the boys and Elsa headed back into town for the last-minute prep for their friends' arrival tomorrow and the dinner party tomorrow night. Elsa and Robbie were going to set the table in the morning and do the flowers for the living room and dining room. There were to be six for dinner and Robbie had hired a bartender and waiter from one of his restaurants to provide extra help in the kitchen for Elsa.
The men were excited to see Ben and Carlton again. The week down South and being able to use their new plane would be fun. The men worked helping Elsa get ready, had a light supper and went into the library to do more checking on the two possible new restaurants. Earnest money had been sent and interviews had been scheduled. The men also looked at possible houses in Palm Desert. They wanted at least 4 bedrooms, 4 baths, living-dining area with an open concept kitchen and of course a pool and possible cabana. Maybe even a guest house might be included. The men saw several homes they liked online and had contacted a realtor friend to show them around. The prices ranged from $299,500 for a three-bedroom, three bath, to just over $600K for five bedroom, five bath, with a pool and covered patio. The kitchen looked a little dated but an easy remodel would fix that. They were impressed by the prices and were expecting to spend a lot more for what they were seeing. After working for several hours and also catching up on work from their offices, they had spent a busy day.
Elsa called them to supper. She had made soup and sandwiches. The soup was white bean and bacon and sandwiches were roast beef with horseradish, cheddar cheese and aioli on toasted sourdough bread along with minted iced tea. Elsa served them in the breakfast room while she went into the dining room to check on the silver, place mats, etc. for the next evening. The boys finished their supper and put things in the dishwasher to help Elsa. They bid her good night and sauntered up the stairs, holding hands, to the large master suite. They entered, closed the door and embraced each other, kissing deeply and, as always, said how much they loved each other. It had been a long day needless to say, and they were about done in. They stripped each other and took a quick rinse in the large shower, dried each other and crawled into bed to cuddle. They held each other close, played with each other a bit, and after some major kisses drifted off to sleep.
As the sun shone through the windows, the men awoke in each other's arms as normal. They murmured good morning and kissed and rushed to the bathroom to brush teeth, pee and start the day. It would be a long one and they had lots to do before their friends arrived.
They showered quickly and although they were tempted to play a bit, there was too much to do (although they did jack off each other and came quickly with some heavy kissing). Both men groaned with pleasure!!
They dried off, put on casual clothes and rushed downstairs. The time was 7:30. Coffee was ready and they sipped a cup and got to work. The fresh flowers were in the laundry room sink and crystal vases and containers were at the ready. Elsa was in the dining room and had started on the table set for six. The white Damask Linen placemats and folded matching napkins were in place and she was carefully setting silverware at each place. Waterford crystal goblets were on the side board waiting to be placed since they would be the last to go on. The silver chargers were also in place and the table was looking fantastic so far. Robbie started to tackle the flowers. The table would have a long, low arrangement in the center and the light pink candles would be arranged with four candles in two double sterling candelabra. The flowers chosen were both light and dark pink roses, purple iris, small white mums and light yellow, Phal orchids with fern and Camelia leaves. The arrangement for the living room was about the same but done taller and fuller. Some Chinese Curly Willow was added by Robbie. He had them done fairly quickly and they did look perfect for the party.
The large arrangement was brought into the living room and placed on a large side table. The small table arrangement was placed after the table was finished. Robbie had enough left for a small arrangement on the coffee table. It looked fantastic as well and complimented everything. A small bar was set up in the living room stocked with high quality booze. The extra help would be arriving about 5:00 and cocktails were set for 6:00 with dinner between 7:00 and 7:30. Dress would be dressy casual.
Ben and Carlton would be touching down about 12:30 and the boys were thinking about meeting them at the baggage claim as a surprise. They called Daniel and thanked them again for the use of his Rolls and driver, Carl. They decided to go ahead and meet them so Carl picked them up and drove them down to the airport, then back to the house.
Dinner menu was planned and would be excellent. Robbie and Elsa sat down a week ago and planned the menu. First course would be a delicate Salmon mousse with sliced cucumber around the side accompanied by a light dill sauce. A great Clos de Bois Chardonnay would be served. Second course would be a Champagne Sorbet in small chilled crystal glasses. The main course would be Le Beof au Poivre (Pepper steak) in a delicate brandy cream sauce, with roasted potatoes and fresh dill glazed baby carrots with chives on the side. A small salad followed with butter lettuce in a vinaigrette topped with toasted croutons. With the main course a '78 Jordon Cab was to be served. Dessert was to be Chocolate Souffle with shaved Chocolate and a Crme Angles', served with champagne.
While Robbie was working with Elsa to get ready for the evening. Tommy had gone into their home office to catch up on some work since he was going to be gone for most of the week. Robbie called Tommy in from the office, and since the men were a bit hungry, they went into the kitchen where Elsa was busy preparing for dinner. The men made toasted bagels and found some salmon/cream cheese smear in the fridge. More coffee was poured.
As the time neared for Carl to arrive, they enjoyed their light breakfast. The phone rang and it was Karl checking in again about the time they should arrive that night. Tommy said 6:00 or before would be great and they asked if they could bring anything. Tommy said no, just themselves. After saying goodbye, both Tommy and Robbie knew what a surprise awaited Ben and Carlton. Not only the car, but the dinner party as well. The men dashed upstairs to change into jeans and light sweaters. Just as they got down stairs, Carl arrived with the car and they were off to the airport to pick up their friends.
Tommy had called a bit earlier to make sure that the flight would be on time and what gate they were using. The flight was on time. Carl opened the back door of the luxurious car and the men slid in. Carl inquired how they were and they in turn asked how he was. He replied he was wonderful and the men thanked him for his services today!!
The drive to the airport was uneventful and traffic was minimal. They arrived and parked in front of the terminal while Robbie and Tommy got out. Robbie's phone rang and it was Ben saying they were just about to arrive at baggage claim and would get a Lyft to the house.
Robbie said not to worry that they had arranged transportation and they would be met in the baggage area. Tommy and Robbie held back and saw them walk into the area. While Ben and Carlton were getting their bags, both guys walked up and asked, "Do you need assistance, Sir?" Carlton, without looking up, replied "No thank you. We have it, but thanks for asking."
"But Sir, do you need a ride somewhere? Then both men looked up and there were Tommy and Robbie smiling and yelled surprise!!
Ben said, "Well, color me surprised to say the least and the men hugged and kissed and jokingly said, "You are a sight for sore eyes!!!"
"We have our car out front so let's get a move on and get back to the house. We have a lot to catch up on."
As the men walked out front of the terminal, Robbie walked them right over to Carl, standing by the Rolls in full Livery. He gently said, "May I take your bags sir?"
He popped the trunk and their bags were placed in the back of the Rolls. Needless to say, both Carlton and Ben were gob-smacked. "Whose car is this?" asked Ben.
Laughingly, Robbie explained it was his Dad's and thought the surprise would be fun for them. The men slid into the car and they got quite a few looks from other passengers. They were all laughing as they began the drive home.
Ben and Carlton were both eager to catch up with their friends since the cruise. Robbie told them that we had planned a small party for them tonight and then reviewed the rest of the week including going down to LA and then on to the desert. "Will we be able to get the flights we want?" asked Carlton. Tommy laughed and said transport was taken care of and it was another surprise, so not to worry. The men chatted about everything and everyone seemed excited about the week they were going to spend together.
When they arrived at the house and both Ben and Carlton gave a loud whistle. "WOW you both live here?? This is the Palace of???"
Robbie simply stated that this was a present from our parents as a wedding gift. They said they got a really great price for it and who were we to turn down a wedding present from our folks!! What the real surprise was that they moved us in while we were gone and we came home and it was all done, mostly. We had to move a few things around and change some pictures, but other than that, it was great! It's just your basic six bedroom, seven bath, run of the mill mansion with a pool and state apartments. Let's get you guys inside and we will introduce you to one of the most special ladies in our lives.
They walked in the front door after saying good-bye to Carl and thanking him for the ride. Robbie discreetly handed him a hundred-dollar bill and a hand shake. He smiled and drove off. No one noticed the old Honda parked nearby on the street by the gate.
They entered the house and were met by Elsa who was introduced to Ben and Carlton. This dear lady before you, is our dear friend and who runs usÉand the household. We couldn't work or even survive with-out her. Elsa, these are our dear friends Ben and his husband Carlton. Ben is the Capt. of the cruise ship we were on for our trip and Carlton is the Purser. We became very good friends on the cruise and have been looking forward to this time together.
Elsa replied withÉ" Gentlemen, if there is anything you need just let me know, please!" Elsa excused herself and went back into the kitchen. Robbie and Tommy grabbed their bags and all went upstairs to show them to their bedroom suite. Both Ben and Carlton were just amazed at the size of the house and how beautifully it was furnished with the oil paintings, the gorgeous Chandeliers in the front entry and the sconces on the walls. The men were very impressed at the sheer size of the guest suite and the beautiful furnishings. You're putting us to shame for our little but comfortable apartment, but since we are hardly ever in it and since we basically live on the ocean, it all works.
Tommy said, "Well get yourselves settled and rest a bit, cocktails are around 6:00 with dinner to follow. Dress is dressy casual please."
Carlton and Ben got settled and decided to have a lay down. So, they stripped and laid down naked and kissed affectionately. Ben looked deeply into his husbands eyes and told him how much he was in love with him . Ben then reached down and started to stroke Carlton's thick, dripping, 8.5" cock.
Looking into his eyes, Ben gently said, "Fuck me stud, deep and hard and fill me up. I will try not to cum, but I want to fuck you harder and fill you as well, lover!!!" His own 8" cock was leaking as well.
They did see each other Karl and Matt once in a while for dinner, either here in town or Tommy and Robbie went down the Peninsula and had dinner there. All in all, it was a great event. Everyone was reminiscing about the cruise and then chatting about their lives since.
The first course plates were taken away and the Champagne Sorbet was served. More wine was poured and talking continued. After about 15 minutes the main course was brought in. The aromas were sublime. The Le Boef au Poivre was cooked to perfection and was widely praised. The Jordan Cabernet was outstanding and went very well with the dinner.
The topic of the week was brought up during dinner and that they were touring the city tomorrow and then out to dinner at one of Robbie's restaurants. After breakfast on Tuesday they were to fly south to LA area, were Ben and Carlton could connect with their friends. Tommy and Robbie were going to stay at the Beverly Hills Hotel and had booked a suite there. They had also rented a Bentley to drive while there.
Ben asked what airline they were going to use and Robbie and Tommy smiled and said it was a new airline they had found. "It's called R & T Airlines and it was just formed. We got really great rates!!"
The men looked skeptical, until Tommy started to laugh and told them that Daniel, Robbie's Dad, gave them the plane as they had just gotten a brand new and much larger jet. "Gentlemen, we are using our own plane, and you can't get better rates than that!!" everyone laughed and said they were looking forward to the week ahead.
Karl and Matt were also invited for next week but had to decline as they were both just too busy, but they would take a rain check. They had informed Karl and Matt that they were looking at possible new restaurants in Beverly Hills and Palm Desert and also considering buying a house in the Desert.
The main course plates were cleared and Champagne was served with a dark Chocolate Souffle. everyone ooooo'd and aaaawed and called for the chef. Elsa came out and everyone stood, applauded and said many thanks. Elsa blushed and said a mild thank you and returned to the kitchen.
Everyone took coffee in the library and continued to chat about this and that but soon it was time for Matt and Karl to head home. They were going to stay in town that night. A guest room was offered since they had plenty of room.
Matt and Karl were shown to a guest room and they sat back down to have a short nightcap before everyone was off to their beds for the night. Goodnights were exchanged along with hugs and kisses and thanks for a great evening.
