Author's Note
This Chapter and Chapter 3 are going to be shorter than my usual chapters but I have ended them at important developments in the story.
Prologue
John stood up. They could still see the glistening on his flaccid penis. "You are a very hot man, John."
Breakfast was a delight. There was no embarrassment and no hesitation in the banter. They discussed their reactions to the same situation. John's experience and reaction with Robert and Graham was very similar to Paul's reaction to what had happened with John.
"I have come to know a small group of guys our age and with our interests. We meet for drinks, dinners, play cards, workouts, ride our bikes. You name it we do it. We help each other out in many ways. We don't do the helping out in groups. Individuals find others who are compatible. Interested?"
"Yes. Anyone ever dropped out of the group?"
"Yes, for all sorts of reasons. Sometimes we are active; sometimes less active. It is pretty loose."
That led to his first break with his past. They used a different gym and so it was agreed that Paul would go on Tuesday as a guest with John for a workout and see what he thought. He joined. He made his first break with his past. He ended up leaving the club at which he had met Brian.
Present
The next Wednesday, he answered the telephone in the morning. "Hi Kevin, how is it going? Good to hear from you. What's up?"
"You sound pretty chipper. It sounds as if things are sorting themselves out."
"Yes they are. Better than I expected. I have a lot of support."
"I may spoil your day and mood. Can we meet for lunch?"
"Please Kevin, I hope that there are no big problems." His voice was anxious. Kevin and Dave had had some problems a few years back but they had solved them. They appeared to be happy.
"It's not personal or family. It is something here at work. I want to talk to you over lunch to get your input and ideas. Enough said?"
Relieved, "That I can handle easily." Arrangements were made for lunch downtown but away from the office."
Kevin watched Paul come to the table. There was something different about him. There was a spring in his step and he looked alive again. He smiled to himself. He hoped it was what he thought it was. They ordered and Paul looked at him with a question in his face.
"I was in the office this weekend going over reports, sales and accounts. I know that economy is off but our sales haven't been too bad. As you know, we have a lot of support contracts and that has stayed level. Our profits seems to have started to go down over the last few months, even after not replacing a couple of people who have left. I was in the computer and there were areas of the accounts that I couldn't get into. There seemed to be a few payments that didn't seem to add up or make sense. I'm just not sure." He stopped and looked at Paul.
"Have you talked to anyone?"
"Just you."
"I am going to make an appointment for us with John and James to check the legal ramifications and go over our options. Don't act any differently. Don't talk about this. Drop it totally in the office. A few days will make no difference and might save us legal and other problems."
"Thanks Paul. I knew that you would be the person to turn to. Good idea."
They met with their lawyers the next day. Paul gave James a big hug. James noticed the looks that passed between John and Paul. He was certain that this was the reason for the bounce in his step. James had had several long talk with Brian in his last weeks.
They gave a little background. James took the pages that Kevin had copied and James and John listened very carefully to the more detailed account. James left to look at the documents. When he came back, he agreed that things didn't seem to add up. They agreed that James would contact a firm of accountants that did forensic work. They all laughed when the matter of cost was mentioned. Paul had just looked at them. Paul had deep pockets and he protected the family. Kevin was family.
Over the next day, an intriguing plan was developed. They had a meeting with a young fellow from the accounting firm the next day. Michael Burtchell, from one of the top accounting firms who had a really good background in computers and accounting, would come in on a short contract to take the place of one of the employees who had left and not been replaced. He was young looking and they had joked about that with him. It turned out that he had, in fact, just celebrated his 30th birthday. But he came with a very high recommendation from his firm. He would act like a new employee trying to make his mark. Luckily it was in the administration part of the firm. He would work on tasks assigned by Kevin and while doing his jobs, he would observe and copy files to his hard drive which would be duplicated and sent back to the accounting firm.
The three of them spent the next Saturday in the office alone, making certain that they had virtual and hard copy duplicates of the entire accounting system, especially orders placed and received. Michael took them off with him. They just had to sit back and wait.
Michael was back on Monday on his contract. He was a very good actor and managed to do a lot digging during the week. He spent some time in the IT area on various tasks, asking question like a guy trying to learn the ropes who was interested in how the operation worked. Kevin only wished that was the reason why he was in the office. He had butterflies in stomach several times thinking of the ramifications.
Seeing John again had set Paul thinking. It was early April and the cottage had not been opened for the season. He had an idea. He phoned John one evening.
"Nice to hear from you Paul. I have missed talking to you."
"Well, I am going to give you a chance to remedy that. The cottage needs opening for the season. How would you like to spend a weekend there? Perhaps this weekend or next?"
"Paul, you know how much I like the cottage. With my so busy schedule ...." He paused. "Let me see, oh my, nothing planned, I think that I can get free this weekend. My schedule is so busy you know." He was chuckling at his own ironic statements. "Yes, I would love to. Just the two of us?"
"Should I invite more?"
"Not necessary at all." It was said quickly and definitively. There was another little chuckle from both of them. Plans were made. "I'll bring a movie on my iPad, my choice but what sort of movies do you like." There was a discussion.
They left on Saturday morning, stopping as Brian and he often had done for coffee and breakfast at a fast food outlet. Well McDonald's breakfast sandwiches were not bad. They arrived in the late morning to a cool but beautiful day. The temperature was around 14 Celsius and the sun was warm with no clouds in the sky. It would get warmer, wonderful weather to work around the cottage.
Almost no damage over the winter. One screen section of the screened in porch had been damaged, perhaps a job for later. First, get the water running as no one had been up. As usual, he had problems with it.
"Damn system, it always does this. It is the one thing that drives me crazy. John would you hold that button for me.... Come on you bugger start. I have primed you. I have done everything right. OK, last try before I take the hammer to you."
By this point John was laughing hard. He almost couldn't hold the button he was told to hold. "You sound as if you have an intimate relationship with this inanimate object."
"You'll have an intimate relationship with an inanimate object with any more comments." Paul held up the hammer.
"Wow, new side to Paul. OK, anything else I can do to help."
"Sorry big guy, no, you can release the button and I'll try to add some more priming to it and check that everything is closed completely." He was smiling now as he did his things. "OK, hold the button and let's give it a try. If not, I brought drinking water and we can heat water from the lake for washing and dishes." The pump started and when he opened a tap a few minutes later, water was running. He started the water heater and the cabin was totally functional again.
They had a light lunch on the porch with a beer. The lapping of the water and the light breeze in the trees was working its magic as they ate and chatted. Both could feel the quiet of the countryside and both relaxed letting the moment take them.
"Paul, I know why this place means so much to you. It is magnificent. I feel like some good physical work. Just tell me what to do and I'm on it."
They changed the screen that had been broken. They raked the lawn and put out chairs and tables. Paul vacuumed the accumulated dust and John cleaned the bathroom, complaining that he got the grotty jobs. He was told that Paul could arrange grotty if he really wanted it. They both laughed. Finally, the last task, getting the dock down to the shore. It would be put in by the crew in May. It was heavy and a fair amount of work. It was their last task and both felt invigorated by the physical activity.
"A beer, some cheese and crackers, then a shower and supper."
"Sounds like a very good order of operations to me."
John organized the chairs on the porch and was leaning on a cross bar enjoying the view to the water and the sounds of the breeze in the trees. It was truly magical. Paul came out with a tray and put it down quietly. He looked over at John's outline as he rested looking out. Memories of their night together came flooding back to him. He saw an older man who still had the look of a powerful figure. His body reacted and stirred. His thoughts whirled in his head but the basic was that he enjoyed being with this man. He felt a connection on all sorts of levels. There was no comparison being made to Brian. Two different people and a very different life now. He decided to take the initiative.
He walked over and stood with his body touching John's. John turned his head to look at him and they looked intently at each other. John raised his arm and put it around Paul's shoulder and pulled him in a little tighter. It felt good. They relaxed into one another. Nothing was said. They just stood looking out at the water which was shimmering with the light of the late afternoon. The small waves lapped against the shore in a soothing rhythm. They both had a feeling of contentment.
Eventually, "John. Some beer and food?" They disengaged, sat, drank, ate and talked about the afternoon, the day and supper. Paul suggested that John take a shower while he lit the BBQ and set out some of the salads that they had bought at the Deli. Later, Paul had a quick but thorough shower while John watched the steaks on the BBQ. Supper was delicious and the talk invigorating. They decided not to watch the film that night but to read and listened to music with their scotch.
"John, I think that I am ready for bed. You?"
"Tired after all that hard work? Some guys just don't have it."
"I watch my language carefully, counsellor. Did I say that I was tired?" John just looked at him. "I said that I was ready for bed." Paul stood up and went over to John and pulled him up. Paul did not move back but stayed in John's personal space and he looked at him directly, saying nothing.
"I'll listen very carefully in the future." Beaming, John leaned in and kissed him on the lips. By the end of the kiss, both knew where they were sleeping that night. Neither was tired.
They undressed each other slowly, wanting to enjoy the sight that they had had only once before. They remembered what each other liked. As they kissed, there were fingers on chests teasing the hair and then tormenting the nipples. There were gasps and noises of pleasure. John pulled Paul into him for a kiss and they rubbed themselves together letting their very hard cocks slide over each other leaving a damp trail on the skin and hair.
Paul separated them, stood back and just raked his eyes over John's body. "As good as I remember." He knelt down and licked the head of his cock tasting the little bit of liquid that was already there. That led to his mouth on the head and his tongue active around it. Paul looked up to see John's head thrown back with his mouth slightly open. Minutes later Paul came off and stood up.
"John, I need you in me."
"Not quite so fast big guy." John moved Paul until he was lying on the bed. John licked him from his chest to his balls. He took each one in his mouth and sucked, making little noises of pleasure. John put himself between Paul's legs and raised his legs. Paul went into overdrive as he felt the tongue snake its way from his balls down his crack until it was licking his entry. When John spread the ass cheeks and started to push his tongue in, Paul was in total lust. His body started to move from side to side. John just applied more pressure on his legs with his hands trying to hold him still but his tongue never stopped.
Finally, John got up to get the lube that he had seen Paul place beside the bed. He slowly put it on himself, putting himself on display. Paul's eyes missed nothing. In fact, his erection reacted moving slightly up and down. He knelt down and put a lot in Paul. He put himself at the entrance and entered and held as he kissed Paul. Paul raked his back with his nails and then pulled John into himself quickly.
"John, you are so goddamn sexy ... hard and fast." Paul used his hands to establish a very regular, hard and fast rhythm. Both men felt exquisite pleasure that neither had known for a while. Paul started to fist himself but John stopped and came out. He took Paul's hands in his own.
"Not quite yet, big guy. This is special and I want it to last a little longer than it was going to." He started to fondle Paul's body who reciprocated until their breathing returned to normal. John smiled. "Now for a second round. I get to set the rhythm." It was slow and easy and then suddenly fast and hard. Then he just bobbed in and out of the opening. He came out again and started the fondling again. He kept this routine up for enough time to take them to the edge a few more times.
The last time he put Paul's hand on his own very swollen cock and went in fast and hard. "Let me know how close you are and I'll try to time it right on."
Very soon. "I'm almost there." John increased his tempo. Paul threw his head from side to side and cried out; his first contraction set John off and they both entered their own world of pain and pleasure as they emptied themselves.
When they came out of their trance like state. Paul's eyes were moist, "Nothing like that for quite a while. John, you are extraordinary." John was lying on him and they kissed again. They fell asleep with Paul's arms around John.
Paul woke to find himself in bed, alone. He missed the feel of John's body and the warmth. He was still on an emotional and sexual high from the previous night. Then he heard sounds from the kitchen and the smell of coffee brewing. He went into the kitchen after throwing on a pair of boxers to find John putting some bread in the toaster. He was wearing nothing but a pair of boxers himself. What a sight: nicely proportioned shoulders tapering to a still firm waist. He could almost feel the shapely ass. Desire spread quickly through his body. He came up behind John and put his arms around him, nuzzling his neck with his lips. He was hard in a minute and his hands started to stroke John's chest.
"Don't start something you can't finish, big guy." Paul pressed himself into him, letting John feel his erection. "OK, I take that back. Do your best, you horny bugger." He said it with a laugh as he guided Paul's hand so that Paul could feel his arousal.
John turned around to look at Paul. After a several minutes of intimate touches, Paul excused himself and came back with the lube. He took off his boxers and stood looking intently at John. John had just a faint smile on his face as he stared back at the look of lust and longing in Paul's eyes. John undressed, turned towards to the counter. "Take me Paul. I need you as much as you needed me last night."
Their passion lasted quite awhile. At times, it was slow and and measured. At other times, it was frenzied with intimacies and crying out. There was no edging. Paul knew that he was close so he paused while he stroked John hard and fast. When he sensed that John was close, he allowed himself to take long, hard strokes in and out, hitting his prostate. Paul finished first but only by seconds as John had put his hand over Paul's to give him the pressure and speed he needed to finish with him.
Paul held John tightly to him with his mouth kissing his neck. He wanted to stay like this for a long time but he finally slipped out. John turned around and held him at arm's length looking at his still large cock, shiny with semen. He leaned over and kissed him. Smiling, he looked at him, "Good morning Paul, an interesting way to start breakfast. It appears that you missed me this morning. Coffee? Toast?"
They were both chuckling. Paul playfully slapped John's rear as he turned to pour the coffee and reheat the toast. They had another good day working and that night they watched the movie. They only cuddled that night but were very aroused the next morning, both glad that John had taken the day off work. They were very late getting out of bed. They had brunch at 11:30, sated and enjoying each others company.
Kevin knew that Paul would be out of town Monday and had said that he would leave a message. From the cottage, Paul found a message from Kevin on his answering machine when he checked it after brunch. He phoned Kevin immediately. Michael had come back with a very damning case of fraud, committed by their financial man, Mark Everton. Paul told him that he would contact John or James and set up a meeting at the lawyers with Michael to discuss his findings.
He smiled to himself as he turned to John who was still just wearing boxers. "I told Kevin that I would get in touch with you. Just remember that little piece of information. Life can be so convenient sometimes. I guess we have been in touch". He stroked John's chest. They made plans for the next day. John phoned James at the office. Paul confirmed with Kevin quickly in the mid afternoon.
They wistfully packed and loaded the car. Both men had enjoyed the weekend more than they had expected. Paul suddenly realized that he had indeed followed Brian's wishes. New, potent memories mixed with the old. He had turned a corner and there was no going back. He would have to give this a lot of thought when he was alone. John too was thinking. John had had encounters and experiences since Mark had died but none were like this. They spent a lot of the journey home in private thoughts. They stopped for a cup of coffee about 30 minutes outside of the city.
"John thank you so much. I cannot express how important this weekend has been for me. I feel freer and invigorated."
"Paul, I haven't had a time like this for two years." He stopped to look meaningfully at Paul. "Thank you so much."
Paul asked himself if that was that just a thank you or did it have more meaning? That was all they said but each promised to themselves to give this a lot of thought. There was a kiss as Paul dropped John off. Both had to admit to themselves that they felt a little bereft as they left each other. Neither was sure exactly what this weekend meant or where it would lead. Both decided to step back, reflect and absorb what had happened in the last few days. No plans for time together were mentioned but both knew that they would see each again.
