Reclaiming Austin

By William Tyler King

Chapter 27

The doorbell rang and I answered the door. I looked up into the smiling face of a, light brown haired, uber-hunk. Slowly his eyes reflected recognition and told me who it was and realization just overwhelmed me. I leaped out the door and jumped up, wrapping my legs around his waist and hugged him, screaming, “COLLIN!” before kissing him passionately.

Collin came in when I finally stopped hugging him and kissing his face, it wasn’t until I heard a cough behind me that I remembered Austin. As I slipped down to the floor I stammered, “Uhhh, Collin, this is my boyfriend Austin.” I said backing up a moment and opening my arms to indicate Austin. Collin stepped forward with an outstretched hand,

“Nice to meet you Mate.” Collin said in his well-mannered Australian accent. Austin was mad; it was all over his face. He stepped forward and said, “Actually, I’m Alex’s Fiancé.” while looking at me. Then he stuck his hand out while maintaining eye contact with Collin, he took his hand, and shook it. Collin, in his sexy Aussie accent said, “No worries mate.” The tension was insanely high in the room just then. I knew immediately that I had to calm things down; I couldn’t have Austin and Collin fighting. I didn’t want to see Austin hurt.

“Baby!” I said meaning Austin, but both men looked over at me. “Collin is my Ex from college, the “black belt” I used to work out with.” I said by way of an explanation hoping Austin would understand my warning. Austin was still stewing so I walked up and slid an arm around him. “Baby, relax,” I said soothingly. I turned to Collin who was still in our door way, “Well you’re a long, long way from home, something tells me you didn’t just drive over to say hello.”

“Naaaa, I’m here on business mate…” He said in his Aussie accent. “I had a hell of a time tracking you down, luckily your old neighbor; this delightful black woman with a roit(right) perfect French accent knew who I was from your stories so she gave me directions on how to get here.”

Austin looked down at me then back at Collin, “So how far did you fucking travel?” Austin asked. “From north west of Sydney, the hilly wine area of Australia.” His accent was soft, almost British in nature.

“Ok, now that I’m not worried about you jumping on him or anything,” I said and turned to Colin. “Why don’t you come all the way in.” I indicated the living room. “Would you like some coffee…?” I started, then corrected myself “I-I uh mean tea?”

“Ahhh That would be wonderful, thank you.” Collin said with his impeccable manners.

“Sorry…” Austin said as he walked over behind Collin to close the door, “I just never saw Alex leap on anyone like that before…” He stopped what he was saying and added, “but me, I mean.”

I walked over and put a hand on Austin’s shoulder, “Sorry about that Baby, It’s just… it’s been so long since I’ve seen him… we were always tight.” I said. “The last ex you saw me with-well, it ended badly…” I said referring to Jake.

“I warned you he was a mother fucking wanker!” Collin said stoically, knowing immediately whom I was talking about. And he had, in fact, warned me, though he didn’t know, he’d actually been the reason Jake and I first met.

“Things with Collin were always good, we only stopped dating because Collin moved back to Australia.” I said.

“AND because I was getting married to Grace.” Collin added with a shrug to Austin.

“And how is she?” I asked since last time we’d talked on the phone, they were living in separate locations.

Collin lost his smile and looked down, “We were divorced in October.” He said with little emotion.

“Sorry dude…” Austin said putting a hand on Collin’s shoulder.

“She couldn’t deal with the fact that I preferred boys to her…” Collin said as way of an explanation.

Austin looked puzzled. “It’s ok baby, you weren’t the first bisexual I’ve dated,” I said, walking to the kitchen to get the tea and coffee made.

“So what happened to your face? Did Alex get too rough on you or something?” Collin asked Austin about the band-aids on his cheek. I couldn’t hear things clearly as I had water running and pots clanging and coffee hissing as the steam brewed up through the grounds. All of a sudden, I heard Collin Exclaim, “No fucking way! That was you two?” I knew what part of the story Austin was telling Collin; then as I fixed the tray with extra milk for Collin. I walked in and found Austin telling Collin about our little fray.

Collin looked up at me, “I always said you were a little Pisser!”

Austin walked over and bent over to nuzzle my neck as Collin poured himself a cup of tea. “He’s my mini Rotweiler.” Austin said as he licked the part of my neck that always made me moan.

“I’m guessing you know all his fun spots by now hey?” Collin asked with a knowing smirk.

Austin wrapped an arm around me from behind and said, “Probably not yet, but it’s a hell of lot of fun discovering them.” And he ran the tip of his tongue across the lobe of my ear…” I arched my back and closed my eyes for a moment.

Collin just smiled at me and said, “Like a small violin…” as Austin stopped and hugged me.

“Yeah, hard to believe I’ve never played a violin before isn’t it?” Austin said, to a clearly shocked Collin,

“Never?”

Austin shook his head, “Nope, Alex corrupted me.” I was going to bring up Joe, but then thought better of it. “He’s a fast learner.” I said blushing.

Austin released me and said, “Don’t mean to be rude, but if I don’t leave now, I’ll be late to work.”

Collin gave him a funny look and then glanced at his watch, “Mate, you go to work at Seven O-clock at night?” he asked with an almost comically British sounding inflection.

Austin smiled and said, “Every weekend and on other nights as needed.” Before Collin asked Austin said simply, “I strip for old men at the Parliament House.”

Collin nodded in understanding as I corrected him, “Hey, who you calling old? I perve out watching you all the time!” Austin grinned as he was leaving, “That’s cause you know the show’s just for you.”

He headed for his red truck and I said, “Bye Hon…” Turning back to Colin, I asked, “I was just getting ready for diner. Would you care to join me?”

Collin smiled and looked at the tuna salad, “Hey, let me take you out to dinner ok?” I told him the salad was good as Austin only made it from fresh Tuna steaks we’d had the night before. But Collin just smiled and said, “I want to take you to dinner, I haven’t seen you in forever and I have a business proposition for you…” His eyes glinted when he said that and my Antenna twitched. “Ummm, ok, I-I guess I can have this for lunch tomorrow…” I said wrapping it in plastic and sticking it in the fridge. “I have to tell you though, a lot’s changed since we last talked,”

“For instance?” he asked holding the door for me as I put on my jacket and grabbed my testing kit, which held my insulin and started towards his car.

“Well, for one, I have diabetes,” I said lifting up the kit and wiggling it to show him.

“Bloody hell! When did that happen?” I opened the car door and slid in, “Not that long ago… I was in a coma for a week I’m told.”

Collin put his keys in the ignition and then looked over at me. “Bloody fucking hell Alex! I had no idea…I’m sorry…” I felt guilty suddenly and began to apologize when he shook his head side to side, “No baby, I was out of sight (It sounded like ‘out of soit’ when he said it), and I’m the one who walked out on you… I’m just glad we . . . that we stayed friends.” He reached down and started the car.

We hadn’t discussed where to eat yet, so I gave directions to Little Saigon. We walked in and Julie came over with her singsong voice and smile, “How are you?” She looked up at Collin and her smile faded. “Who are you?” With a worried frown, she turned back to me and asked, “How is Austin? Is he ok?”

I smiled and stood aside to introduce them, “Austin’s at work Julie, he just left us, don’t worry, he’s fine.” I said remembering how Austin had been scared she’d get mad at him and send the Vietnamese ninja to punish him. “And this is my Ex, Collin Stellington.” They shook hands as Julie welcomed him and said, “I sorry for being rude, just worried about Austin.”

Collin smiled and said “Enchanté, ma chérie,” In fluid French. I’d forgotten how good an education Collin had had. I also recalled he’d done a lot of traveling to Europe on wine related business.

Julie was taken back a moment then replied with, “Enchantée, au plaisir de rencontrer un ami d'Alex. Il y entretient dans les affaires.” Collin smiled and Julie motioned us over to my regular table, “Your usual?” she asked me and I nodded. Then she looked at Collin and in perfect French asked, “Qu'est-ce que vous voudriez? Une entrée ou les boissons quand vous lisez le menu?”

Collin smiled. “Une tasse de thé chaud serait parfait pour commencer. Merci”

Julie finished with the order and left. Colin looked at me with a funny grin, “She could straighten out my bisexual knot if you know what I mean.”

I gave him a hard look. “NO!” I admonished. “You behave with that appetite of yours!”

Collin got an evil smirk and his eyes gleamed as he said, “I haven’t, “had anything to eat,” he said using hand quotes, “since October, and then I find out you’re engaged… Come on…” He pleaded.

I shook my head then looked at him, “And I haven’t had sex since New Years Eve and we won’t until we get fucking married-his idea-not mine!” I glared defiantly at the much, much, larger man.

Finally, he looked away, “Cheeky bastard!”

When Julie came back with the drinks, I ordered Collin the summer rolls *in English* and suggested the shrimp stir-fry. When Julie was done, she floated off and Collin moaned, “Alex….”

Turning to him, I interrupted, with a warning tone. “Collin, I love you to death, but if you try anything with Julie, I’ll hurt you to death - even if you do still outrank me.” I glared at him a minute to make my point and then said, “So what was this business thing you wanted to ask me about anyways?”

Collin leaned back and smiled as he lifted his glass to drink. When he was done, he sat his glass down and looked me right in the eyes. “You’ve learned much from Dr. Yoshita, but simply redirecting my attention won’t work that easy.” Collin said referring to our former sensei, we had learned after a certain belt, that judo could be used intellectually as well as on the mats.

After I smiled and acknowledged Collin’s point, he continued. “We’re expanding our market, I already set up a few accounts in this area, but I need to hire someone to handle our business interests and hopefully, expand our market.”

I was stunned, he hadn’t actually offered it to me yet, but I could see what he was thinking. “That’s great Collin, but I don’t get it, if you’re offering it to me, I mean, I don’t know a damned thing about wine except it comes in red and white varieties and the good stuff doesn’t come in a cardboard cube.”

Collin laughed and then met my eyes again, “I need someone who has a good head on his shoulders and that I can trust from the other side of the world. We’ll teach you the rest of it.” I was stunned; it would mean I could quit that lousy bank job… “And we’ll teach you all about the subtleties and nuances of our various vintages.” I suddenly had a bad thought, Collin saw my face fall and asked, “What is it Alex?”

I closed my eyes and said “Baby, I’m diabetic; I can’t drink any more…”

Collin’s smile faded and after several long moments he asked, “Well, you have anyone in mind that could do this?” He was asking as my friend, a compatriot whose loyalty in me was mirrored

I got a sly smile and said, “Well, I’ll have to talk to him about it, but yeah, I think I know the perfect guy…”

Before I could finish, Collin laughed and said, “Ok, sell me on why Austin would make a good rep.”

I laughed, as always, Collin had seen right through me. “

“Ok, first, he’s marrying me and you know that I’ll make him behave even if he wouldn’t otherwise, and he’s a top notch southern boy.” I said as our dinner arrived. “

You mean he’s a top” Julie said then blushed as she smiled at Collin. Collin began laughing which made Julie start too… In the end I landed up laughing too

When we had assured Julie we were fine with what she’d brought, she smiled and said to call her if we needed anything. “You know, if I don’t hire Austin, I could make a fortune if she worked for me.”

I shot him a sour look and said, “Don’t you go taking Julie away from me!” Then I said, “And Austin is much better looking than me, and he’s got this insanely hot smile, and it works on straight guys and women too, not just us gay boys.”

Collin roared, “Alex, I haven’t seriously thought of you as a little boy since we met-and Christ, you’re what, 30 now?” he asked.

“27 thank you!” I replied tersely. “And Austin can drink, and he looks awesome in a suit…” I said trying to think of other reasons.

“Ok, Ok, let’s talk to him tonight and see what he says?” Collin offered before we began gossiping about the people he had known when we were in school together.

Eventually, as dinner was ending, he began telling me about his ex wife Grace. Grace had been his Fiancé’ since we’d met, I knew from the first few times that we’d spent the night together that he’d be leaving Florida alone to get married shortly after he graduated. Although we both lived in free progressive countries, he had been in, what could best be described as an arranged marriage. Gracie’s family had a vast amount of untilled land, and the neighboring Stellington family wanted that land to expand its grape vineyards. “Now that we’re divorced, we’re essentially leasing the land from them as they have no use for the extra land and we’re expanding operations.” Collin explained. “We broke up amicably, there wasn’t a lot of drama, but she knew I was bisexual, and well… she didn’t trust me.” He said.

I gave him a hard look and asked, “Did she have a reason not to trust you?”

Collin sighed, “No, not really, but it was probably only a matter of time. She was getting more and more suspicious and that drove me further and further away. As we talked, Collin raised his hand and when Julie looked over, he mimed writing, which she understood as him saying he wanted the check. A minute later Julie came over and asked Collin if he wanted any desert, She gave me a smile and said, “You Diabetic boy; don’t even ask. Austin already warned me. You can have regular coffee if you want.” She her ineffable smile as she laid the small black envelope holding the bill on the table, Collin and I both said we were fine and he dropped his credit card on the top. She took it and left with a warm smile.

“So what were you expecting when you came back here?” I asked when Julie brought back the credit card slip for Collin to sign. “I asked you out to dinner!” he said rather than answer my question, I nodded and looked up expectantly waiting for his answer, he took a deep breath and blew it out slowly before speaking, “Expecting? I don’t know really, we hadn’t talked in almost two years, I HOPED you were still single and I’d ride in and give you this great job and work my way back into your heart.” He stood up to go and didn’t look down at me.

“Collin, you’ve never left my heart.” He turned back and as I stood up, I could see the hope flash in his eyes. “BUT!” I added, “I love Austin with all my heart, I will love you forever, but He’s the man that I’m in love with.”

Collin nodded, “I know, I already saw that.” He opened the door and held it for me, hiding the resignation and emotions I knew he was feeling. We discussed going to the Parliament House but decided just to go back to my place and wait for Austin. We talked about all kinds of things and drank several cups of coffee or tea as we waited. We talked about the wedding Austin and I were planning, we talked about my awful job, and then I told Collin that he HAD to come see me that weekend since he wasn’t leaving for several weeks.

“So where were you staying?” I asked Collin. “I’m at the Airport Marriot.” He said.

“Well, why don’t you get your stuff and stay here?”

Collin smiled and said, “Cause the temptation would be too hard on me, and I value our friendship. Besides, you don’t even have a spare bed, and I’m a little too big to be on the couch.” I was about to point out that he’d save a load of money staying with us, but I remembered that he didn’t have any concept of what money was. He was the oldest son of the Stellington’s, and as such, had vast vineyards and treasure troves of money at his command. “Now if you were single…” He said with a leer.

“If I were single,” I said smiling. “I’d glue myself to you and tell your fucking father to go suck a French whore cause I wasn’t leaving you.”

“Alex, such language!” Collin said with a laugh. “Besides, who said YOU, were the one tempting me?” He teased.

“Don’t molest my fiancé!” I threatened.

He smiled and arched his eye brow, “Or . . . what?”

I smiled, and said, “I already beat an entire bar, don’t make me show what else I’ve learned.”

It was after 12 when Austin rolled in, “Hi Baby,” he said kissing me and pulling me against him. He asked, “You guys have a good talk?” I handed him a cup of coffee. We gabbed a bit and did a quick recount of all the evening’s topics, only then did Collin ask Austin what he knew about wine.

Austin gave a funny look then said, “Dunno. It comes in red, white, and pink, and you shouldn’t buy it from a place that sells Slurpees. Why?”

Collin sipped his tea and said, “My family are the second largest producers of wine in Australia, We’ve cracked the European market, except Belgium and France, and the North Eastern American markets, but we’re expanding into the South East and the South Western states. Alex here seems to think you’d be a good asset to out company. Think you might be interested?” Collin said, shifting seamlessly from fiend and playful devil to Stoic Aussie businessman.

Austin sat down with his coffee and looked at Collin, “I’m assuming this wouldn’t entail dancing or stripping?”

He replied, “No, what I need is a sales man to expand our market, represent us when we can’t be there to over see distribution and to identify new markets.”

Austin was stunned, I could see it on his face, so I said, “Honey, with your good old boy nature, and that killer smile and quick wit… You’ll have every place you go eating out of your hands, signing up for anything you want to sell them.”

Speechless, Austin sat back and looked at us. After a moment he said, “It sounds great, but I don’t have any experience in Business, marketing, finance, advertising, anything!” Collin listened and sat back, “Well, what degree do you have?”

I swallowed, realizing Austin hadn’t graduated. “Well none at the moment, I was going for my BA in Sports medicine when I had to… uh… drop out.” Austin said looking down into his coffee.

Before Collin asked, I said, “Austin was in his senior year when.he . . . uhhh was forced to drop out. He came down and stayed with me.” I could see the gratitude in Austin’s smile as he looked back up.

“Well, that doesn’t make you any less of a salesman, That takes natural talent, you can’t learn to work people, you either have it or you don’t.” Collin said and then added, “Roit, tell you what, you come with me this weekend and…”

Austin cut him off hesitantly, “I uhh. Sorry, but I work this weekend, I can’t just quit with no warning, they’ve been really good to me.”

Collin sat back with a large grin, “Well… loyalty… Ok, I’m impressed! Alex said you were a good character.” Austin looked at me surprised as Collin continued, “Ok, you work the evenings roit?”

Austin nodded, “Yeah, 6pm on Saturday and Sunday, and 7pm during the week.”

Collin took out a small book and looked in it. “Ok, well, I have an 11am meeting Saturday in Winter Park, and a 2pm on Sunday in Longwood.” He looked up. “So how-a-bout you come with me this weekend and maybe during the week and we’ll see how you do?” He added, “Your decision to be loyal to your current job really impressed me by the way. I - We really value loyalty.” After taking a sip of tea Collin said, “And the schedule is highly flexible, you’ll be able to go back to college and hopefully get some kind of business degree… marketing would be super.” He said saying schedule like he was British “sheduale”

“Duuude! I-I-I I don’t know what to say.” Austin was grinning as he looked back and forth between Collin and me.

“In ‘Yank,’ is that a yes?” Collin asked with a grin.

Austin’s grin exploded as I answered. “Ohhh yeah.” Looking at Austin’s dimples I continued. “Did I tell you my guy had the hottest smile in the United States?”.

“I’d say this country and mine.” Collin said and smirked as we watched Austin blush. We made plans for the next day to meet for lunch in Winter park and then come back here before I needed to get ready to go on at the Seattle Scene.

“Sooo, uhhh, I don’t know how to ask this politely…” Austin began, hemming and hawing on the way out to Collin’s car.

Collin got a big smile and said, “Well, the base pay is 45 in US currency. I’ll push it up to 46 since you have to put up this one.” Collin mussed my hair jovially. If it had been anyone else, chances are they wouldn’t have gotten the arm back.

“You know what this means?” Austin grinned at me.

I smiled back, “Yeah!”

Collin look at me confused, “What’s it mean? Aside from the obvious.”

“That Austin can grow his chest hair back before the wedding!” I said excitedly.

“YOU! You really only have one thing on your mind EVER.” Austin laughed.

“I could have told you that Mate.” Collin chimed in and then asked, “Well, what were you thinking than?”

Puzzled, I looked at Austin and he said, “That you could tell that flaming bitch boss of yours to stick her job in her twat and ride it till dawn.”

My eyes suddenly got huge with the grin exploding on my face. “Holy shit! Oh my god!”

“Well, can you afford to do that?” Collin asked. It wasn’t like him to wonder about such things, this only proved how much he had been thinking about me since the poor guy had no concept of money.

“Well I was pulling in 39 from my bank job, so we’ll do great with the extra he’ll be pulling in,” I said.

“I hadn’t finished,” Collin said. “The salary is a basic 45K to start but you also get paid a dividend for the sales you make. It’s something like a commission. Franco, our guy in New York, makes twice his base pay in dividends every year and he’s only been with us for five years.

“Franco?” Austin asked with a funny smirk, “Is he a good fella or some kind of Mob Boss?”

Collin laughed, “Not sure, you yanks all seem like gangsters and gang bangers to me.”

“Ohh ohh ohhh!” I said sarcastically, “First we’re a bunch of effeminate pansies, NOW we’re all gangsters. OK Mr. Stellington, which is it?”

Collin broke out laughing and said, “Cheeky shit.”

Austin looked from Collin to me and asked, “Do I want to know?”

“Go on, you tell him.” Collin volunteered.

I composed myself before answering. “When we first started going out, we had a few confusing episodes with words each of our cultures use a little differently.” I said as Collin nodded. “One day I was describing Michael and called him a big over sized ‘Nelly’ hand puppet. And Collin asked me what Nelly meant.” I said to a riveted Austin. “I told him it was an effeminate guy, a poofster, a twinkely fairy. Then I asked him what they called Nelly guys in Australia.”

Collin jumped in with, “Easy mate, back home we call them Americans” Although it had cracked Collin and I up back in college, it only made Austin smile a moment before he decided to get upset by it.

“Heeeyyyy!” Austin complained.

Collin got a big grin and said, “Roit Mate, I’ll prove it.” And he turned around and stood in our doorway. “Come here!” He ordered Austin. I thought I what he was doing, and was amused when Austin just obeyed. “Now turn around and face Alex!” Collin ordered, Austin obeyed again and you could see his gears burning as he was trying to figure out what Collin had planned. Then Collin got an evil smile and looked me right in the eyes before saying, “Now take off that shirt!” Austin looked puzzled but slowly complied. Collin got a smirk as he gently ran a hand from Austin’s belly up his chest and began playfully pinching Austin’s nipples; he leaned forward as he was several inches taller than Austin, and began kissing Austin’s neck. Austin was rock hard in a few seconds and a low moan escaped his lips. Then Collin ran his right hand down Austin’s jeans and cupped his hard on. I was too mesmerized to object although I knew what Collin was doing. Collin slid his left hand up to Austin’s face and slowly brought it around so that by turning his head slightly, he and Collin could kiss. Collin groped his cock and pinched his nipple he began to kiss Austin passionately. I was about to object when Collin ended it and said, “Roit, I rest my case!” He released Austin.

Austin looked surprised and a little angry, “What? What case? What the fuck?” As he grabbed his shirt back off the small table by the door.

“Please Mate, you were totally moi bitch just then!” Collin laughed.

“Like hell I was.” Austin protested. “

Austin, Oi was going to bend you over and fuck you till you screamed. But Oi thought Alex moit object.” Collin said merrily which annoyed Austin more.

“I DON”T get fucked!” Austin maintained. I was staying out of this little battle of machismo. “Maybe not with Alex, but Oi’d fuck you. Oi’m not, because I care too much for Alex, but if he weren’t here, Oi’d fuck you till you sang my name in French.” Austin was still hard and that comment only made his cock throb more.

Finally I decided to step in. “Collin, you will NOT turn my husband to be into a bottom, if you do, trust me, Australia won’t be far enough for you to hide from me.”

Collin smiled and lost his macho demeanor. “Why is it you are the only guy Oi know who can threaten me like that and get away with it? Jesus, Oi outrank you!”

“Cause you know the twisted creativity I use for sexual pleasure can be turned to evil and sadistic revenge.” I answered, smiling. “Now you go and have a good night, Austin will be all ready tomorrow morning for your little outing.” I said leading Collin out by his shoulder and hugging him tightly, “It is so fucking great to see you again and have you back for a while.” I said as I buried me face in his chest.

“Oi’m glad we’re still friends Mon Puce.”

He’d given me that nickname in the second week of our Judo class and everyone started using it. Apparently, everyone else knew what it meant but no one would tell me. The more frustrated I got, the more fun they had. I had to hunt down a French teacher to find out Mon Puce meant “Little flea.” It made me crazy back then, but now I just smiled and let it fall back into the fog of memory.

“Bonne nuit, mon amour, à toi et ton fiance.” Collin said in French, I only got the gist of it, but smiled and hugged him again.

“Tomorrow night, you have to come see my show!” I ordered then kissed him on the chest and pushed him towards his car.

Inside, Austin was still a little wigged out by Collin’s demonstration. “He’s a great guy Alex, but I can’t believe he thought he could fuck me!” Austin protested, perhaps a little too strongly. I didn’t want to break his ego so I let it drop. Austin however, wouldn’t let it go. “You don’t think I’d let him fuck me do you?”

I wished he hadn’t asked that. I walked past him to our bedroom to begin getting ready for bed. “Baby, he’s been raised in a different world than us, he learned to read and manipulate people when he was very young.” I said as a way to side step his question.

“Well yeah, he kinda got me to do what he said, but only for basic stuff. Doesn’t mean I was gunna do ‘that’!” he maintained.

I stopped at our bed and turned to face my Angel, “Baby, he’s a very attractive guy, he’s got total self confidence, he’s studied a variety of martial arts, and he’s fierce in business matters. What he might or might not be able to do with you is irrelevant. It doesn’t change one thing about how I feel or think about either of you.” I added, “And he won’t fuck you cause I’ll kill him if he does.” I added placing a hand on his shoulder. “Ok?” I asked. Austin mumbled then went and brushed his teeth. “Now why don’t you forget about him fucking you and try to get some sleep, you have a BIG day tomorrow.” I said excitedly as I went to the bathroom.

When I was done, I slipped into bed and took my place nuzzled against a restless Austin. I just smiled. His fidgeting was so puppy like I was just glad to have him curled against me. I went to sleep and wondered off to lala land.

At three forty five AM, I woke up to hear Austin moaning and talking incoherently in his sleep, I rolled back to spoon against him and suddenly felt hot liquid spray all over my ass and lower back. Just as I realized what had just happened, Austin woke up, startled.

“Huh? Ohhhh.” He said to himself as what had happened dawned on him too.

“I KNEW all this time without sex was gunna be a problem!” I said getting out of bed to get a towel.

“Ohhh god, I haven’t had a wet dream since I was 18.” Austin said, rolling out of bed.

I walked back in with a towel to toss at him. “Still thinking about Collin huh?” I asked with a smirk.

Austin just kept his face down, “I don’t get it!” He said pouting. “I’ve never thought about that before, I never even day dreamed about it. I just don’t get it.” He said standing up and coming over to wipe off my back.

“Baby, Collin has made a career out of ‘fucking’ with people’s heads. He did it in Judo matches and he’s always done it in business. Trust me, you don’t want to get on his bad side. But baby, he was just fucking with you. Let it go.”

Austin binned the towel when he was done and was about to climb back in bed when I said, “Go put your boxers on, I need to sleep and with you squirting off like you just did…” the words trailed off and I gave him a sour look. Austin put on his light blue boxers and looked so sexy in them. “Come here stud boy!” I said to my confused hero. Austin got a sheepish smile and climbed into bed. “Next time put a condom on and fuck me a few times first.” Austin pulled me against him. “Are you going to be ok Baby?” I asked as I pulled his arms around me and scooted against him.

“Yeah, I guess so… Thanks for not freaking out about all this.” Austin said kissing the back of my neck.

“I’ll warn Collin again to leave you alone.” I said simply and Austin nuzzled the back of my neck

I actually woke up before Austin the next morning and decided to surprise him by making him breakfast in bed. I was lucky that not only did I know where all the correct pans were, but I also knew what he liked and how he liked it cooked. Not that I’d done much cooking since he began hanging out with Mrs. Tremere. I made him that runny sunny side up eggs he loved so much with wheat toast and bacon and was getting the coffee ready when I heard him start to stir.

“What are you doing up?” He called out from bed

“Just lay there and I’ll show you.” I replied,

“I’ll get back in bed when I’m through.” I heard him say as I heard his pee hit the bowl. I smirked as I put all the dishes and coffee cups on the tray and brought it to bed. I was setting up the trey when he walked back in. “Oh my god!” He said with a tone that couldn’t decide if it was going for awed or surprised. “Alex, wha?” He asked so surprised he didn’t finish his thought.

“Well, I’d love to tell you it was all planned for your first big day with Collin, but…” I said rolling my eyes at him humorously. “But you know me well enough to know I rarely get up early without a loud cavalcade of alarms or shaking.” I said, rubbing his shoulder as he slid back into bed. “Anyways, I woke up early so I decided to fix you breakfast for a change.”

“Baby…” Austin gushed as he lifted his coffee cup. “Intentional or not, this rocks honey-thank you.”

I leaned over and kissed his forehead, “I love you Austin.” I said then righted myself and said, “I have to go test my blood sugar and get my less runny eggs.” I said hopping out of bed and running to the kitchen. I grabbed my breakfast and coffee after testing my Blood sugar and grabbing the insulin for Austin to give me the shot with. When I got to the room, I handed Austin the syringe and insulin, told him my reading, and then lay across the blanket over his legs with my bare ass up in the air for him to shoot.

“Mmmmmm, Soon won’t get here fast enough little boy,” Austin said as he rubbed my ass, pinched a cheek, and gave me the shot. I just stayed there as he patted my ass. “If you don’t move that pretty ass soon, I’m not gunna be responsible for what happens.” Austin said rubbing his hands over my ass.

“Is that supposed to be a threat?” I said wiggling my ass for him, loving the attention I’d been denied for weeks now. “You’ll have think of something slightly more threatening I guess.”

Austin slapped my ass sharply. “Eat your breakfast, horney toad!” Laughing, he shoved me over.

Breakfast went quite quickly after that, when we’d finished, I picked out a sharp teal shirt with Charcoal dress slacks and a navy sport jacket with a patterned maroon silk tie with blue hatches that made his eyes just stand out out. After showering and dressing, Austin modeled for me to appraise.

I sat and smiled at my elegant boyfriend. “If you don’t knock them dead, then they were dead a long time ago,” I said just as the sun caught in his eyes.

Austin reached over to pet Tempest, who was lying on top of our TV set. “You have any knowledge about what I should anticipate today. Do you?”

“Ummm…” I thought about it and said, “Yeah. Don’t admit to him you had a wet dream about him last night.” I said wisely. When he asked why, I smiled and said, “I love Collin to death, you know that, but if he finds out he’s gotten to you, there won’t be enough steel plating in the whole Pacific Rim to keep him outta your pants.”

Austin nodded then asked, “So I’ll meet you at Dexters for dinner?” He asked me.

“You bet stud, now go make me proud.” I said at our front door.

Austin looked extremely nervous. “Why is it I’m more nervous now then I was stripping the first time?” Austin asked me. “Cause for one thing, you have an amazing body, and you love showing it off. And this job is a total unknown to you, but I have every faith. I know you’ll do fine.” I ran my hand down his toned muscular back.

I had a lunch date with Dawn, knowing she was leaving on Wednesday. We were meeting at a coffee shop in DeLand that made good lunches, called Boston Bean. I was a huge fan of their iced Latté’s. When I got there, I found her sitting with Tiago.

“Well hello there stranger.” Tiago said standing up to greet me. Dawn turned around and when she saw me, she stood up too.

The waiter I had known a while, a cute blond guy named Mac, came over and squatted, putting his head on his hands on the table, “Howdy folks, coffee, tea, or me?” Before I could reply with a smart assed response, Dawn kicked me under the table and gave me a stern look as a warning.

Tiago however had no such restriction so he smiled up at Mac, “Oh really sunshine? In that case I’ll take you.”

Mac got a big grin and patted Tiago on the back, “Sorry bud-I likes da ladies!” He pulled out his order pad and took our drink orders. We had pleasant conversation and Dawn told me how she had run into Tiago and invited him to Lunch with us. Tiago meanwhile was telling us what he wanted to do with the very cute and highly personable Mac. Somehow we got into dating scenarios
