Chapter 1

The weekend of the wedding was finally here and Brent couldn't help but reminisce about the Doug that he used to know and love in a twisted kind of way. No. Brent shook his head. It wasn't him. The more he had delved into the past, the more he realized that Doug was actually the twisted one. Now that he knew what truly being loved by a man felt like, he knew that Doug had never been good for him.

He was lost in his thoughts Thursday night when his lover approached him from behind, Riley's strong hands on his body, one near his heart, the other on his inner thigh. That was a perfect symbol of so much between them, Brent knew that the man had him, his body as well as the love he'd been kept buried inside him for so long. Are you packed, baby? Riley kissed the back of his neck tenderly as he held Brent to his chest.

Brent hadn't even begun, he sighed and ran his fingers through his black hair. Not yet, I will. He had noticed Riley's bags in the corner by the door earlier this morning. They were going away together for the weekend. Their first official trip as a couple - Brent should be thrilled. It wasn't official at work. They had both taken a vacation day but so far, Brent was still married and straight as far as the office knew. Sandra may have given him the occasional wondering glance lately, he was sure that she had witnessed the kiss, but it was still up to Brent to let his intentions with Riley be known. Taking his lover to the wedding should be a huge milestone for him, but more and more Brent just felt butterflies in his stomach when he thought about it.

Riley knew him better than anyone, Brent was sure of that and it was confirmed when his lover turned him around and looked into his eyes, Having second thoughts, Brent?

Not about you going, just about the whole thing. Doug seemed to be so different in his emails and of course, they were older, wiser and hopefully better. He had been as deeply in denial as Brent years ago and there were a hundred reasons why it shouldn't matter. I guess it's just nerves. We haven't seen each other since college. It hadn't been a happy farewell either.

Riley's green eyes were like lasers. He studied Brent's face. And it was really a break-up, even though neither of you called it that.

Brent's first reaction was to blow it off. No, it was never really a relationship. Why had he spent so much time recalling every detail of it then? I was hurt, he admitted, I was hurt enough to decide that I would never let it happen again, anyway.

Riley leaned in and kissed his top lip and then his bottom lip, And yet here you are, he whispered into Brent's skin.

I was waiting for you all that time. Brent was sure of it; he just hadn't known who he was looking for. But he was convinced now that he had always been looking and waiting and hoping.

Riley's cock was hard and Brent felt it pressing into his hip. Hurry up and pack, baby. I want to take you to bed. Brent's body responded inside and out, his dick fluttering and dripping for his lover's touch, his insides aching to be filled again with Riley's seed. If he'd needed an incentive to get this over with, he had one now.

Brent went to the closet where most of his clothes now hung. Two trips to the house and two suitcases packed when the children were at school and he had enough of the necessities here at Riley's apartment to dress at least. It still seemed like the other life was temporarily on hold, but until Brent talked to his children and knew what to say to Suzanne, it had to stay that way. For now, he was as close to blissfully happy as he had ever know and it was all thanks to the blond who was impatiently waiting for him to finish.

Brent set the luggage by Riley's and returned to his boyfriend, just thinking the word made him smile, who would have ever thought that he'd have one? I'm ready, he murmured to the blond who was gazing lovingly into his eyes, I want you so much. They both worked long days and Brent was jealous of all of the other minutes in between, he wanted all of them to be spent right here.

Their kisses were slow, hungry ones, deep and almost desperate, as if they had waited all this time to touch the other. Riley's hands worked from the back of Brent's head to his shoulders and moved to his chest, his lover would undress him while sucking on Brent's tongue. Brent heard himself moan as Riley's embrace turned into a nibble, his teeth on Brent's lips, pulling him in and gnawing on him as if he couldn't stop himself. Brent didn't want him to stop though, he never had.

I've been thinking about this all day, Riley ran the tip of his tongue around Brent's ear, giving him the shivers. Riley was carefully studying Brent's body, inch by inch, discovering every sensitive spot. As he teased Brent's ear, Riley's hands had opened his pants and once his fingers stroked his shaft, Brent knew that there was nothing he could do but ask for more.

Brent could hear Riley undressing and he crawled to the bed, waiting for his love to take him again, the way he needed, the way he had craved for so long. Both men were naked now and Brent's chest was against the bed that he had lost his virginity in. He loved it here. Riley, just saying his name had an affect on his body, I love you so much, I want you so much.

His lover was moving down his back with a trail of hot kisses, between his shoulders, the valley along his spine, pulling Brent's ass up to him as he reached his bottom, Riley could make him cry out with need when he kissed him there. I love you, baby, his lover's breath was hot on his sensitive skin and Brent trembled as he began to caress his rear entry with his wet tongue.

Riley was gentle when he began, he always was, tender and sweet until Brent could hardly hold himself back and would begin to beg. Brent had never known how rough he wanted it until now and Riley was happy to accommodate him. At this moment, the soft, probing of the tongue was starting the fire deep within Brent, every nerve pulsed and he knew after spending a few nights like this that the passion welling up inside him would gradually begin to clamor and claw at him until he cried out for Riley to fuck him, hard, fast. Nothing satisfied him completely until he had been ridden by his lover and felt Riley's climax mark him at his depths.

Brent was shaking already, Riley had that affect on him and when his lover's tongue pushed deeper inside, Brent threw his head back and sobbed with delight. Nothing he'd ever known or imagined had ever thrilled him like Riley. Make love to me, please, Brent could feel the need inside, his prostate was swollen and his cock was throbbing, he needed Riley's hands and the feel of his muscular thighs pressed into him, his rippled abs on Brent's back, all of him.

Riley's hand was wrapped around his erection now and between the tongue and the steady pressure of his fingers, Brent was dangerously close to exploding already. You are horny tonight, baby, Riley remarked, between laps, you want my cock inside you? Is that what you need?

Brent looked back, his forearms shaking, nodding in agreement, Yes, you know I do.

Riley never made him wait too long and he could feel his lover's weight shift on the mattress as he moved. Riley's hips were in the perfect position, Brent sighed as the head of his huge cock brushed his ripe opening, Are you all mine, Brent? his lover asked, waiting at his entry, teasing Brent with his dick.

Brent gasped, backing up to writhe against the blond who he was in a constant state of arousal for. Yes, Riley, you know I am, Riley slowly entered him, giving Brent just the head of his engorged pole, I'm all yours, God, fuck me like I'm yours.

Riley did, grasping Brent's cheeks and pulling him back on his cock, Riley's hips ground into Brent's ass as he filled him to the very bottom, his rhythm was perfect, gliding in and out of Brent's body. The touch of Riley's bulbous head on his needy button, the waves of pleasure caressed his insides as they worked further and further up into Brent. He never wanted it to end and he didn't want to touch himself, he could cum just like this, with nothing but Riley's dick. Sometimes his erection wouldn't listen and tonight was one of those occasions.

Riley felt as Brent's hand moved down to his swollen member and Riley picked up the pace, Do it, baby, show me how much you love it when I fuck you. God, you're so fucking perfect on my dick, I love your hot ass. Just Riley's voice was an aphrodisiac, sometimes that was almost enough to push Brent over the edge.

Brent pushed his ass back now, whimpering, the ecstasy was hot and bubbling up inside him, he was on the verge of another long, earth-shattering release. I love you, I'm yours, oh God, Riley, he had reached the pinnacle in his hand and he felt his anus clench around his lover, drawing him down to his center as he came in waves.

The blond man inside him was too close to resist and as he felt Brent contracting and convulsing on his erection, Riley let go and began to fill Brent to the brim. They sank to the bed, together, joined, Riley's hard kisses on his neck and shoulders as he continued to pump his salty load into Brent made it even more sweet. Riley panted as he whispered his words of love, You are mine, Brent, and I am all yours. I've never belonged to anyone but you.

Brent felt the last spasm roll through Riley's body and kissed his lover's hand before wrapping it under him. These moments were the ones that he had never dreamed were possible, the softness, lying in Riley's arms until he drifted off to sleep, it had all been a mystery to him until now. We get to spend the weekend together, Brent could finally smile about it.

See, it won't be so bad, Riley was slipping from inside Brent, his sticky liquid left behind, he rolled to his side and brought Brent's head to his chest. We'll have fun and you'll get a little closure, too. That's what it should be. Brent's chance to say good-bye and good luck to the man who had started this.

Chapter 2

It was a bachelor party and the only other parties of this nature that Brent had ever been to involved strippers and drunk, rowdy men living up the last night of their single life. This was far more subdued and Brent smiled at Riley as they held hands, watching the group around them.

At the head of the table were Doug and Zach. Brent hadn't talked to either of them for more than a few minutes and he thought that perhaps it was better this way. It was less complicated to watch his college roommate from afar. Doug still looked good and he was still the charmer, the one with the constant barrage of jokes and wisecracks, everyone still seemed to hang on his every word. His unruly, brown hair was just as curly and wild as ever, his eyes still sparkled and Brent was ashamed to admit to himself that his athletic build still brought back old memories. Brent remembered what the man looked like naked; it was something that he'd never forget.

Zach was a surprise. Younger, soft-spoken, he seemed quiet, the yin to Doug's yang, tall and lean. He was more the dark and brooding type than Brent would have pictured Doug with, but then again, he'd never imagined that Doug would really be with anyone. Riley had taken them both in and mentioned in an off-hand way, Well, Doug has a type.

It was still unfamiliar to kiss his boyfriend in public but Brent was beginning to enjoy it more and more and worry less and less. After a soft peck on Riley's mouth, he asked, What is Doug's type?

Riley raised his eyebrows. Tall, dark hair, handsome. Riley's green eyes drew him in once more, Like you.

Brent hadn't noticed and didn't want to once he started thinking about it. If he had been Doug's type, did that really change anything that had happened? It wasn't the time or the place to start thinking about the past. You're my type, Brent told his lover with a contented smile, I never thought about having a type though.

Riley was amused. What did you think about when you were checking out guys?

Brent had saved all of those thoughts and locked them away, I really tried not to. It sounded ridiculous now, he was so enthralled with Riley, he was sure that everyone in the office could tell by the way that he watched his boss that they were much more than friends. How had he kept it tucked away so long? I tried not to notice until I couldn't help myself... A life of secrets - that was what he'd had for so many years.

Riley held his face in his hands, their foreheads touching, So with me, you just couldn't help yourself, is that what you're saying? Brent had succumbed to the blond so easily, a few touches, a kiss and he had given in completely.

Brent closed his eyes, the hotel room was waiting for them and the bed, there hadn't been time earlier and now his need was palpable. Yes, that's exactly what happened, he admitted it readily. From the moment I first saw you, I couldn't help myself. Even if I was pissed that you got my job... Both of them laughed, neither of them cared anymore. GlobalTech was responsible for their first meeting. Otherwise, Riley would still have been thousands of miles away and with another man, Brent reminded himself. He was just lucky.

Okay, lovebirds, get a room! Doug's voice was too close for comfort and Brent turned quickly and realized that he'd never forgotten the man's physical presence. He felt it again when Doug clasped his shoulder. I'm so glad you could come, his old roommate wanted to hug and Brent patted him on the back. It was odd to be this close to him after so long. I'm sorry, I didn't get your name the first time, Doug offered his hand to Riley, who was just watching the two of them.

Doug, this is Riley O'Neil, Brent
