Johnny Breeze & Me - 12. Surprises and Revelations

The three of us were in my SUV heading home when JJ said he should probably check his texts and voicemail. I asked him if he was sure he was ready for that since some messages could be hard to hear. “Yeah, there might be something important that needs to be handled.

As JJ listened to the first message, he took on a look of intensity that I hadn’t yet seen. When he finished the voicemail, he said, “That was the police. They found my name and number in Simon’s wallet as his emergency contact. They want me to identify his body and claim his personal effects. I—I—don’t know if I can do that, Jason.”

“Why don’t you call Sam and see if there’s something he can do?

JJ did just that and was pleased to learn that Sam had already taken care of things. Sam had also had Simon’s body delivered to the funeral home, and they would cremate his remains on Monday morning. JJ was relieved that all of that had been taken care of. There were several messages from Sam and various cast members which contained nothing new, so those were deleted. As JJ listened to the next voicemail, his eyes got wide, and a huge smile came over his face. He hung up the phone.

“That was Zach. He had seen several things on Facebook about Simon and convinced his parents to get him a ticket to Austin so he could be with me. He left Gainesville at 11:30 this morning and should be landing in the next 30 minutes! Oh, my God! Zach is coming! I haven’t seen him in years! Oh, my God!”

I checked my watch as we were driving through downtown on the way home. “Did he give you a flight number?” JJ checked his texts and found what he was looking for—Southwest 197, arriving at 4:49.”

“Johnny, can you check to make sure the flight is on-time?” Johnny found the number for Southwest and placed a call. He found out that the flight was landing as scheduled, and I immediately headed south to the highway that would take us to the airport.

“JJ, send a text to Zach and tell him we are on the way and to meet us at the arrival pick up zone and to look for a Blue Ford Flex.” JJ quickly sent the text. “Now, tell us about Zach, and why are you so excited?”

“I met Zach when we were just kids in the youth program. He gave me my first kiss, my first blowjob, my first fuck—and looking back, he was my first real boyfriend. When I think about it, my only real boyfriend. About a year before I moved in with Simon, his dad got transferred to Florida, and I haven’t seen him since. But we’ve stayed in touch. He’s also a musical theatre major at Florida State.”

“He sounds like someone you still care a lot about.” Johnny smiled at the beaming JJ.

“You know Johnny, your grandmother was right. No matter how bad things seem to be, something wonderful is just around the corner! First my Mom, and now Zach! I never thought I would say this, but if it weren’t for Simon and the rotten things he did, none of this would be happening. And because of Simon’s death, life is sure looking pretty sweet right now!”

I looked at JJ through the rear-view mirror. “Sounds like you still have some pretty strong feelings for Zach.”

“Through it all, I never stopped loving him, even though we were halfway across the country from each other.” Suddenly his mood changed. “Of course, he may have a boyfriend now, and there’s nothing I can do about that, is there?”

Johnny looked back at JJ. “Kiddo, there you go again! You need to learn to stop creating situations in your mind. You don’t know if he has a boyfriend. So, let that be a bridge you cross when you see him, okay?”

“Jason, does Johnny have an answer for every-fucking-thing?”

“JJ, so far, Mr. Breeze is batting a thousand! I would suggest you listen and learn!” We all laughed, and in a few minutes, we were pulling into the airport. As soon as we turned in, JJ’s phone buzzed with a text from Zach.

ZACHDAMAN16: “waiting on the sidewalk! i ❤️ u!”

JJ showed the text to us, and the two of us smiled at each other. “You know Johnny, there is something magical about this airport!” I drove down the arrival level, and up ahead stood a strikingly handsome young man. He was about 5’10” with a nice deep tan, dark straight hair all gelled and spiked, wearing plaid chino shorts and a tight yellow polo shirt.

JJ noticed him about the same time and rolled down his window. He was nearly hanging out the window and yelling, “Zach! Zach!” I had barely stopped the car when JJ bounded out the door and ran to his friend. They hugged tightly and then kissed like long, lost lovers.

I hit the switch to open the back of the SUV, and Johnny got out. He grabbed Zach’s bags and told the boys to get in the car before getting arrested for public sex. JJ blushed a bit and led Zach to the back seat.

As soon as we got everyone settled, I pulled away and began the drive to the loft. JJ was ecstatic. “I’m so happy to see you, but you didn’t have to come, you know.”

“JJ, when I found out what happened to Simon, I had no idea what you must be going through. I called my parents and told them the news and that you needed me. My folks love you, and they bought me a ticket to be here with you. And they send their love, by the way.”

“I can’t believe it! You’re really here—right in front of me!”

“I know, right? But you seem awfully happy what with everything that’s been happening.”

“You have no idea!”

On the way home, JJ filled Zach in on the cast party and how he and Simon had been fighting. He told him about the letter from his mother and how she is coming to see him at the theatre tonight. He told Zach about the trust fund and the house and ended with, “And as of Monday, my attorney says I will be one of the wealthiest men in Austin!”

“Holy shit, JJ! And here all I wanted to tell you is that I loved you just as much as the day I left Texas. But now you probably think I’m just saying it because you’re rich, and I want you to be my sugar daddy!”

“Dude, you’re a year older than me. No way I’m gonna be your any kind of daddy!”

“Then I guess you’ll just have to settle for the fact that I’ve loved you all these years and have been waiting all this time to tell you to your face.”

“Oh, Zach—”

“And you know what? You’re still the most beautiful boy I’ve ever seen!”

The boys leaned into each other and kissed passionately. Johnny and I looked at each other and smiled. “I tell you, Johnny. There’s something about that damned airport! Umm, JJ? Are you going to introduce us?”

“Oh shit! I’m so sorry, guys! I was a little caught up in the moment, I guess! Zach, this is Jason Richardson and Johnny Breeze. Johnny is an amazing lighting designer, and Jason is the new Artistic Director at the theatre.”

Johnny corrected JJ, “Make that the new Managing Artistic Director!”

Zach answered, “Nice to meet you guys! JJ’s never mentioned you before, but you seem like great guys—and thanks for picking me up!”

“Johnny and I have just recently become close to JJ, and with everything that’s happened in the last 24 hours, JJ’s barely had a chance to deal with everything.”

“Zach—Johnny and Jason literally saved my life last night. When Simon left the party, they let me stay at their place. They also helped me deal with everything with the attorney, the letter, my mom—everything. I love these guys. You will, too.”

Just then, JJ’s phone rang. “Mom! Where are you? Great! We had to make a quick trip to the airport. You’ll never guess who just flew in! Zach! I know! Isn’t it great? I’m so happy, Mama! The two most important people in my life are back! I know I sound happy. Well, if Simon hadn’t died, I wouldn’t have you and Zach back, would I? Okay. I’ll see you after the show. You should be there at about 7:00. The show starts at 7:30. I’ll make sure you have a seat. Hopefully, you can sit with Zach, too! Okay. Bye Mama. I love you too!”

We were soon pulling into the parking garage. I reminded JJ and Johnny that they had to be at the theatre in forty-five minutes, so they would need to shower and get there as soon as possible. I would drive Zach with me since we had a little more time.

We walked into the apartment, and I sent Johnny up to the shower. “Aren’t you coming?”

“No, you know as well as I that you’ll be very late if we shower together!” I looked at our guests. “I suggest the same thing for you, JJ. Solo showers for everyone!”

Zach gave JJ a quick kiss. “He’s right, you know. Hurry up now. We’ve waited five years—a few more hours won’t kill us!”

JJ made his way into the guest room, yelling, “Fine! Now I’m going to be throwing wood through the entire show. In front of my mother, for Christ’s sake!”

From upstairs, Johnny yelled, “Yeah! What he said! In front of his mother, for Christ’s sake!”

Zach and I laughed and sat down at the breakfast bar. “Zach, thank you for coming. I don’t think you know how excited JJ is to have you here.”

“I had to come. I knew JJ wasn’t happy with Simon, but he was terrified of being out on the street again, so he dealt with it. As soon as I heard Simon had died, I knew I had to come here. I didn’t know what was going to happen to JJ. Of course, I had no idea it was going to be this. He’s really rich, isn’t he?”

“Yes, quite rich. But I can tell you from everything I’ve seen happen today, JJ is rich far beyond any trust fund, or house, or money. Now that he has you and his mother back in his life, he’s finally getting all that he deserves.”

“I really do love him, Jason. I’ve tried to date. I’ve even tried to have a boyfriend. But all I could think about was my beautiful boy back in Texas.”

“Why didn’t you come back to visit?”

“Because if Simon was in the picture, nothing could ever happen. I knew that. I knew JJ was sleeping with him, too. It killed me to know that he was having sex with that old man. But I also knew JJ never really loved him. I knew JJ always loved me. And I’m never going to let him go again.”

“It’s the airport, I tell you!”

“The airport?”

I laughed. “Yes, I met Johnny when he came to pick me up at the airport just a week ago. I fell in love with him the instant I looked in his eyes.”

“Well, God bless the Austin airport then!” Our men appeared in the living room almost at the same time. They came over to Zach and me, and we each got a kiss.

“Okay, kiddo, let’s get to the theatre. We should make it just in time!” Johnny grabbed his keys, and they headed out the door.

I showed Zach his way around the guest room and bath and gave him a towel. I went upstairs and took a quick shower myself. I dressed in my grey Valentino suit, white shirt, and red tie. I had to make a good first impression with the theatre patrons tonight.

Zach and I walked into the theatre at 6:45. I sent a text to Johnny to tell him we had arrived, and he was soon in the lobby. “Hi, babe. The show is a sell-out again, but Simon had two tickets reserved. He always sat in the house opening and closing nights. I hope you don’t mind, but I set them aside for Zach and JJ’s mom. You can sit in the booth with me if you like.”

“Perfect! How is the cast doing?”

“Really well. When everyone saw how happy JJ was, they all seemed to have risen to the occasion. I think we’re in for an amazing show tonight.”

Just then, Bob walked into the theatre lobby and saw Jason. “Jason! Good to see you! Are you ready for your speech tonight?”

“Yes sir, I’m a little nervous, but I’m good to go.”

He then noticed Zach. “Dear God—Zachary? Zachary Franklin? Is that really you?”

“Uh, yes sir. It’s really me, but I’m just Zach now.”

“Oh, you probably are wondering who the heck I am. My daughter Hillary was in several youth classes with you back in the day.”

“Oh! Okay!” I got the impression that Zach had no idea who Hillary was.

Just then, a woman walked into the theatre and practically ran to Zach. “Zach! Zach!” She gave him a huge hug.

“Mrs. Cobb! It’s so nice to see you again! JJ is so excited you are here, too!”

“Thank you for coming, Zach. JJ really needs a friend like you now.”

“Mrs. Cobb, have you met Jason?”

I reached out and shook Mrs. Cobb’s hand. “It’s a pleasure to meet you, Mrs. Cobb. I’m Jason Richardson, the new Managing Artistic Director of the theatre. Let me just say you have a remarkable son, and Johnny and I are honored to have him as a friend.”

“Oh, please call me Shirley. JJ told me how the two of you helped him out. Thank you for being there for him this morning. I’m sure he was able to handle things much better because you were there. I’m very grateful to you for that.”

“Well, we did what anyone would do for someone they care about.”

I led Zach and Shirley to the box office window so they could get their tickets. Soon enough, everyone had taken their seats, and Bob walked out onto the stage.

“Ladies and Gentlemen, most of you are aware of the tragic event that took place late last night. Several weeks ago, the Rosemont Theatre Company hired a new Artistic Director, and the late Simon Bradley was promoted to the position of Managing Director. This morning, the Board of Directors held an emergency meeting and named Jason Richardson, our new Managing Artistic Director. Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome Jason Richardson.”

 

ZACH

It’s great seeing JJ’s mom again. I was kinda blown away that she ran up and hugged me like I was her own son. After we took our seats, she said something that made sense of it. She told me that the last time she saw JJ happy was when he and I spent all that time together. She told me how crushed he was when my family made the move to Florida. She took my hand and looked me in the eyes. “Zach, JJ loved you with all his heart. I could see that. I could also see you return that love. Now both of us are back in JJ’s life after a long absence. But I want you to know that the most important thing is JJ’s happiness. If he finds that with you, I want you to know that I will not stand in the way. I’ve always felt as though you were a second son to me. If you and JJ can bring back what you once had and grow from there, nothing would make me happier.”

I had been fighting tears from the moment JJ hugged me at the airport. I wanted to be strong for him. This time I couldn’t stop them. Mrs. Cobb pulled a tissue out of her purse and wiped away my tears. “Don’t worry, honey. I brought a supply of these with me. I think we both might be needing them.”

Just then, the lights in the theatre went down, and Jason was introduced, and he took the microphone:

“Ladies and Gentlemen, I wanted to say a few words about Simon Bradley before we begin our show. I met him several months ago and got to know him while I was being interviewed for the position of Artistic Director of this wonderful theatre.

“If there’s one thing I noticed immediately about Simon, it was his love for the Rosemont Theatre Company. His passion and dedication inspired the countless people who have walked through the doors and onto this very stage. This afternoon I walked onto this stage and found the cast and crew of Pippin standing in a circle and holding hands. They were taking turns describing Simon with just one word. It was a moving experience I will not soon forget.

“However, one thing I learned was that every person you will see on this stage, every person working behind the scenes, and I’m sure many, many of you—each has a unique memory of Simon Bradley. Tonight, we dedicate the final performance of Pippin to everyone’s uniquely different memory of Simon Bradley. Thank you.”

Jason walked off the stage and went straight up to the booth as the orchestra began playing. Now over the last few years, I’d seen some of JJ’s YouTube videos of his performances and loved watching him grow as a performer. But watching him in person was truly an amazing experience as he led the cast in an astonishing performance of Pippin.

Mrs. Cobb and I worked our way through her tissue supply. I am in total awe of this beautiful man and his ability to open his soul to an audience to the point that we all were entirely on Pippin’s journey with him.

I couldn’t believe this was the same shy boy I kissed for the first time almost eleven years ago. That beautiful boy is a stunning man now, and watching him on stage tonight caused me to completely fall in love with him once again.

After the show, Jason met us outside the stage door with Johnny at his side. He asked Mrs. Cobb if she would like her reunion with JJ to happen in a more private place. She thought about it for a bit and decided that it would be best, so Johnny took her back to Jason’s office. Jason told us that he wanted to speak with the cast and thank them for the show tonight, and then he would bring JJ out.

 

JJ

Wow! What an amazing show. The entire cast met in the green room before the curtain went up and blew me away by dedicating the show to Simon and my mom! Personally, I also dedicated the show to Zach—my amazing Zach. The only boy I’ve truly loved with every breath I’ve ever taken. I still couldn’t believe he was here tonight—sitting with my Mom!

We received a five-minute standing ovation, and there were tears of joy, tears of relief, and tears of sadness all over the theatre. During my bow, I looked down in the third row and saw Mom and Zach. She was smiling and applauding, and Zach was jumping up and down. I blew them both a kiss and saw Zach mouth the words “I love you!” as I gathered the rest of the cast for the first of many group bows.

Jason came back to the green room after the show and told us that instead of staying tonight to strike the set and clean out the dressing rooms, we would all get together and do it tomorrow afternoon. I thought that was a great idea. It had been a long day for all of us, and I wanted to see Mom and then make love to Zach all night long!

After his talk with the cast, Jason pulled me aside and said Mom was waiting in his office so our reunion could be more private. We walked out the stage door, and there was quite a crowd applauding and congratulating me on my performance. I didn’t want to be rude, but dammit, I wanted to see my Mom! Zach was at the back of the crowd and took me in his arms. He whispered to me, “Just so you know—I completely fell in love with you again watching you perform tonight. You can do what you want with that information!”

I whispered back to him, “Baby, you haven’t even begun to see me perform. I’m gonna go and see Mama right now. You better drink some coffee, mister—I’m planning to keep you up all night!” I took his beautiful face in my hands and kissed him.

Jason took me back to his office. He told me to go in and take all the time I needed since he and Johnny would be closing the theatre tonight.

I knocked on the door and opened it slowly. I stepped into the office, and there she was! We just stood and stared at each other for what seemed like forever. “Oh, Mama! You look beautiful!” I walked over to her with my arms out and took her into a hug that had been a long time coming. There weren’t a lot of words as we just held on to each other. We were both crying softly and whispering each other’s names. Sometimes she would call me Joshua, sometimes JJ. Sometimes I would call her Mom, sometimes Mama.

After a while, I pulled her away and had my hands on her shoulders. “I’m so sorry you had to go through the last four years thinking I was angry with you. I never stopped loving you and thinking about you. I just thought you didn’t want anything to do with me because of the gay thing!”

“Of course, I was sad when you told your father you were gay. But I was sad because I knew you would have to deal with so many things on your own that most kids don’t have to handle at all.”

“You know Mama, I know it’s wrong to be happy about someone dying, but I can’t help it. If Simon hadn’t died last night, we wouldn’t be here like this. Simon died, and I got you back. I’m sorry, but I couldn’t be happier.”

“You also have Zach back in your life.”

“Yeah, Zach too! Now, do you see why in some perverse way, I’m glad Simon died?”

“I think God will forgive you for that. I hope so, anyway! He needs to forgive me for the very same thought!”

I took Mom over to the sofa and sat down with her. I took her hands in mine and looked at her. “Mama, there’s one more thing I haven’t told you.”

“Oh, JJ—please tell me you’re okay, and nothing’s wrong!”

“No, Mama. I’m just fine. But there is something I didn’t want to tell you on the phone. I need to tell you this in person.”

“Okay, this sounds rather serious.”

Mom was apparently starting to worry, so I just told her, “Mama, Simon was a very wealthy man—like millions wealthy. This morning his attorney—now my attorney—told me that before I turned 18, Simon used his Power of Attorney and added my name to the deed to the house and all of his assets.”

“What? Joshua, what are you trying to tell me?”

“I’m telling you that I am now worth over fifty million dollars.”

“Oh, dear God, Joshua! This is a joke, right?”

“No, Mama. This is some serious shit!”

“Joshua Joseph Cobb! You might be a millionaire and a wonderful man, but I am still your mother and won’t hesitate to wash your mouth out with soap!”

“I’m sorry, Mama—but really? Wash my mouth out with soap?” I started to giggle, and she soon joined in.

“Joshua?”

“Mama, no one calls me that anymore. I’m just JJ now.”

“Okay, JJ. You have grown into a wonderful man. Regardless of whatever happened with Simon, and I don’t think I want to know, but the result is that you have become a wonderful, confident, handsome, charming—and a very rich man! I will forever be grateful to Simon for making sure you ended up this way.”

She kissed me on the cheek and then wiped off her lipstick mark with her thumb. “Now—another wonderful young man is waiting out there for you. I told him how I was always aware of how much you boys loved each other when you were younger. I know he’s only here for a short time. But I want you to know that the most important thing to me is your happiness. Now go out there to him and spend time with him. And I want you to know that if you and Zach can rekindle your feelings and it makes you happy, then nothing could make me happier.”

“Mama, you’ve become this amazing, beautiful, strong, independent woman. I can’t wait to get to know this new you! And just so you know. I have loved Zach with my entire heart and soul since I was nine years old. All those feelings are still there.”

“That’s perfect then. You go home and get reacquainted with that wonderful boy. How about we all meet for Sunday brunch tomorrow?”

“That would be wonderful! Where would you like to meet?”

“How about we meet at the Driskill Hotel? This is a special occasion that deserves the best in town.”

“If you don’t mind, I would like to invite Jason and Johnny. They are the two people who got me through everything and helped me find you. You will love them both, I just know it!”

“That sounds lovely, then!”

“And Mama? Brunch is on me. I can certainly afford it now!” We laughed and hugged and walked out of Jason’s office with our arms around each other’s waist.

Jason, Johnny, and Zach were waiting in the darkened lobby for us. Johnny smiled and said, “Well, I see that went well! We’re all so happy for both of you!”

All five of us ended up in a group hug. Mom then took Zach and me in her arms. “Boys, I just want you now that I love both of you dearly, and I’m so happy that you have each other again!” She then looked at Zach. “Take care of him, Zachary—just like you always have.”

 

JASON

Shirley told us we were all meeting for brunch tomorrow at the Driskill Hotel. She would call and make reservations and text the time to JJ. We decided to leave Johnny’s truck at the theatre so all of us could ride back to the loft together. JJ and Zach sat in the back seat, holding hands while staring at each other and smiling. There would be an occasional kiss, but most of the time, they just stared at each other and soaked in their rekindled love.

I decided to take a longer way home as I didn’t think I wanted to drive over the bridge that was the scene of the accident. It was nearly midnight when we finally walked into the loft. I put my arms around JJ and told him how wonderful he was tonight. I gave him a light kiss on the lips. Then I turned to Zach. “This is a very special young man. Now, you take him into that room and show him all the love he’s been missing and needing for a long, long time.”

Johnny came out of the kitchen with a couple of glasses filled with red wine. “And boys, make all the noise you want. You won’t be bothering us because we’ll probably be making even more noise when this man gets me into bed!”

JJ’s face was plastered with a mischievous grin, and he nearly dragged Zach into the guest room and shut the door. Johnny and I looked at each other, smiled, and made our way out to the balcony to enjoy our wine and a much-needed cigarette.

I eased back in my chair and just let out a huge sigh. “Wow! What a day, huh?”

“I’ll say! For a lot of people, Jason.”

“Thank you for being so wonderful with JJ. It’s not going to be easy for him, but he at least he’s not going to be alone anymore.”

“Speaking of JJ, should we talk about last night? I mean, are you okay with everything?”

“Funny, when I woke up this morning and before everything kind of blew up, I was thinking about that very thing. I was lying in bed with two gorgeous men on either side of me. I was happy that I didn’t have any regrets, and as I thought about it, the reason for that was that you and I both invited JJ into our bed. We made a choice together. And then I thought about the feeling of my hard cock sliding next to yours inside JJ. Damn baby! That was hot as fuck! And that was a sensation neither of us would have ever experienced without a third person.”

“Jason, that was probably the most incredible feeling I’ve ever experienced too! That boy has one amazing ass!”

“I’m not saying that I would like to make a habit of it because there is nothing more wonderful than making love with you. Even though we had some amazing sex last night, that’s all it was—sex. But when I make love with you, that feeling far surpasses even the most wonderful sex.”

“I completely agree. So, I guess we’re both okay with sharing a hot boy every now and then if we both want it and agree to it?”

“Sounds good to me. But you know what sounds even better, Mr. Breeze?” I stood in front of him on our balcony and slowly began removing my clothes. “I want you to bend me over this railing and make love to me.”

“I’m so glad you chose the loft on the top floor!” Johnny stood up and began to slowly reveal the magnificent body that still turns me on as much as it did the very first time I saw it. I stepped to my lover, undid his ponytail, pressed my body up to his, and kissed him deeply as our hardening cocks fought for space as they climbed up our ridged abs.

“Shit! I gotta get the lube! Don’t go anywhere, Mr. Breeze!”

 

JJ

I almost tripped over my own feet as I dragged Zach into the guest room. “Damn JJ! Horny much?” He took me in his arms and said, “Slow down, baby. We have all night. I don’t want this to be a quick suck and fuck like we would do on our sleepovers. No, tonight—JJ—the most beautiful boy I’ve ever seen is going to see what it’s like to make love.”

“Zach, I don’t think I know how to make love.”

“I’ve never really done it before, either. But baby—tonight will be like the first time for both of us—and it can’t be anything but making love.”

Zach put his finger under my chin and lifted my face to his. He touched his soft, supple lips to mine and then said, “JJ Cobb, I’ve waited five years to be able to look you in the eyes and tell you that I never stopped loving you.”

Zach then literally swept me off my feet. He picked me up in his arms and lay me down on the bed. He gently pulled my polo shirt over my head. “God, you’re gorgeous!”

After tossing my shirt to the floor, Zach took my hand, kissed each of my fingertips, and worked his way down my palm and wrist. He planted tender kisses down my forearm and then down my triceps. He nuzzled his nose in my armpit and inhaled deeply. He then licked my pit, sending shivers up and down my spine.

Zach’s kisses moved up my shoulder and then along the side of my neck, causing small little whimpers to escape my lips. The whimpers turned to moans as his tongue ran along the outside of my ear and then quickly popped inside. He then sensuously kissed my eyes. I never thought that could be sexy, but the sensation caused me to gasp. Before I could close my mouth, Zach’s tongue found its way inside. We kissed with a passion like I’ve never experienced. “I love you, JJ.”

I will never get tired of hearing that. Zach kissed his way back down my neck and made his way to my left nipple. He swirled his tongue and gently sucked on it until it was hard. He then gently bit down on it, causing my back to arch and lift off the bed.

Zach’s loving kisses made their way down to my navel. He twirled his tongue around, causing more moans and shivers. He then stood on his knees and pulled his polo shirt up and over his head. “Wow! Zach! Florida’s been very good to you!”

I was breathless! He was stunning! Muscular, smooth, and tanned with large brown nipples centered perfectly on his bulging pecs. His taught abs showed the outlines of his six-pack as he bent over to pick me up so I was standing on my knees facing him. We stared into each other’s eyes, and it happened. I felt what Jason and Johnny have talked about. I caressed his cheek and asked, “Zach. Did you feel that? Just now?”

“Yeah. It felt like you reached inside me and grabbed my heart.”

“I know, I felt the same thing.”

We kissed again, but this time it was deep and filled with love. I was running my hands up and down and slipped them under the waistband of his jeans to caress his smooth, rock-hard ass. I moved a finger deep inside his crack and teased his smooth hole. It was his turn to moan as we continued our kissing.

I pulled my hands out of his pants and slowly unbuckled his belt, and undid the button. Zach was mirroring my every move. We both lowered zippers and discovered that we were each freeballing and had completely shaved cocks. “You shaved!”

“You too!”

“Awesome!”

Zach pushed me back down on the bed and pulled my pants off, freeing my leaking seven and his thick, throbbing eight inches. “JJ, you grew quite nicely!”

I grabbed his thick cock as he lowered himself on top of me. “You too, mister!” We were quite a contrast. There was me with my fair skin and blond hair and a lean, tight dancer’s body. And then there’s Zach with his dark hair, all over tan and buff gym-body.

We ground our bald cocks into each other while our flowing precum covered our abs. We kissed and moaned as we rolled all over the bed. I stopped the rolling with me sitting on top of Zach. I looked down at him, smiled, and sighed, “I can’t believe I have you back.”

I leaned down, and this time I kissed his eyes. I worked my way to his earlobe and sucked and tugged on it with my teeth. I then kissed and nibbled down his neck, causing Zack to clinch the sheets and writhe with passion. I kissed my way down to his large nipples and suckled on them like a hungry baby. His body was thrashing around beneath me, so I immediately went to the other one and repeated.

As I reached Zach’s abs, I licked up the mixture of our precum, savoring the taste of our combined juices. I slid down further and grabbed his impressive cock. I swirled my tongue around his mushroom head and engulfed the entire length in one motion. All that vocal training that taught me to open my throat has some awesome side benefits!

With Zach’s cock down my throat, I turned my body around and presented my smooth ass to my lover. I lifted my head off his cock and said, “Get me ready, baby!” I went back down on his cock, slathering it with my spit. He was deep inside my throat when I felt his wonderful tongue on my hole. That caused me to moan and vibrate on his cock, and in no time, he had worked his tongue inside me. Zach was fucking me with his tongue, pulling off and spitting onto my hole to make it slicker. I wanted nothing more than to feel Zach slide into me.

I pulled away from his tongue and repositioned myself over his spit-slicked cock. As soon as I felt the head at my entrance, I looked down at my smiling lover and told him, “I’ve waited a long time for this, baby!”

Although I was still a little tender from the massive intrusion the night before, I didn’t care. I need this more than anything! I lowered myself onto Zack’s cock and threw my head back as he filled me. I worked the muscles in my ass to milk and massage Zach’s cock. I rocked back and forth, so it would slam into my love nut deep inside me. Within minutes we were both yelling and moaning in the throes of passion.

We were both glistening with sweat as Zach was thrusting up into me. The room was filled with the sounds and smells of sex as Zach began to yell out, “I’m so close, baby! Oooooh, FUUUUUUUCK! Ohhhhhh! Ohhhhhh! Ohhhhhh! I’m gonna nut!”

I could feel Zach’s amazing cock swell and pulse against the walls of my ass as he filled me with his hot, white cum.

As soon as Zach’s cock began to soften, it slipped out of my ass. “JJ, that was fucking ridiculous!”

“We’re not done, baby. You ready for more?” Before he could reply, I threw his legs up and over his head and plunged my face into his muscle-boy ass. Just tasting Zach’s ass got my cock dripping.

“Whoa! JJ! Fuck me with that tongue, baby! Ooooooh! Ohhhhhh!”

I reached over and grabbed the bottle of lube and slathered it onto my cock. Then I applied more to Zach’s ass—first one finger, then two. With his ass sticking up in the air, I stood over him, pointed my cock straight down, and eased inside. I was so fucking hot, and I knew I would last about as long as a fifteen-year-old virgin.

I was plunging in and out of Zach’s tight ass. “Take my cock, Zach! That’s right, baby. Your little JJ is fucking your tight hole! Ohhhhhh Fuck! I’m gonna cum inside you, baby! Take my load, baby!”

Poor Zach had a look of shock on his face and just hissed, “Yesssssssss!” as I filled his ass with gallons of cum.

As soon as we both caught our breath, I collapsed on top of Zach. He looked up at me and said, “Who are you? My shy little JJ never wanted to top me, remember?”

“I topped you before!”

“Twice. Maybe three times. But you always wanted me to top you!”

“You seemed to enjoy it, though!”

“Fuckin’-A. I enjoyed the Hell out of it! You know, you are the only person I ever let top me. I’ve never wanted anyone but you inside me.”

“Oh. I’m sorry. How I wish I could say that to you. But I can tell you this; you are the first person to truly make love to me. I will never forget this night as long as I live.”

“I love you, JJ.”

“I love you more, Zach.”

We decided we needed a drink, so we went out into the kitchen for a glass of water. As we walked out naked into the living room, Zach pointed out to the balcony. Johnny had Jason bending over the balcony rail with his head thrown back and hair blowing in the night wind. By the look on his face, it was obvious he was filling Jason with his load of cum. “Damn JJ! You have some fucking hot friends!”

“You have no idea, Zach! You have no idea!”

JASON

It was about 10:30 Sunday morning when I felt movement in our bed. I opened my eyes to find a naked and glowing JJ climbing in beside me. I looked up at him and said, “Ummm, good morning? What’s up, JJ?”

“Don’t worry. I figured why put on clothes when you’ve already seen me naked—and then some.”

Johnny woke up. It was earlier than he wanted it to be. “Everything okay, JJ?”

“Couldn’t be better, guys. I just wanted to have a morning do-over. Yesterday we woke up, and the shit hit the fan. I just wanted to wake up with you guys with things on a happy note—and tell you that reservations are for 12:15 at the Driskill.”

JJ leaned down and kissed me before he hopped over and kissed Johnny. “I also wanted to thank you for helping me make yesterday end up being the most wonderful day of my life!”

Johnny took JJ in his arms and started to tickle him. “Noooooo! Not fair! There needs to be a no tickle rule in this house!”

I couldn’t resist, so I joined Johnny as we tortured JJ. “Stop! Stop! I’m gonna pee all over you guys if you don’t stop!”

“Johnny, are you into water sports?”

“We’ve done some kinky shit with this boy already. Why not add to the list?”

“Nooooooo! Please stop! Pleeeeeease??!!?” We finally stopped, and JJ lay between us. He was on his stomach and then propped his head in his hands. “Actually, there is something I want to talk to you about.”

“What’s up, kiddo?”

“Guys, I just want to make sure everything is okay about the other night. I mean, I kinda came up here hoping to join you and was thrilled when you guys asked me into your bed. But I want to make sure you guys are okay. You have been so good to me, and the last thing I want to do is cause any trouble.”

Johnny and I both turned on our sides to face JJ. I ran my fingers through his blond curls. “You are a remarkable young man, JJ. Johnny and I talked about it last night, and we’re both good. We look at Friday night as some of the most amazing sex either of us has ever had. But it was sex—hot, amazing, incredible sex with a very hot boy joining us in our bed. It may or may not happen again. If it does, it would be because both Johnny and I choose to invite you back into our bed. But you have nothing to worry about. Johnny and I are great.” I kissed JJ on the cheek, and Johnny continued.

“And now you have a wonderful man back in your life. I have never seen you as happy as you were when you saw Zach. He loves you, JJ. And I can see you love him just as much, if not more. So, if the three of us end up in bed together again, there’s another person whose feelings should be considered.”

“Guys, last night, two things happened. We looked into each other’s eyes and touched each other’s souls. The other thing that happened was, for the first time in my life, I learned what making love truly was. I love him. And I want him here, in Austin, with me. But he’s leaving next weekend, and I’ll lose him again. Why does this shit seem to always happen to me?”

We suddenly heard a soft voice from the bedroom door. “You’re not losing me, JJ. I may be leaving Sunday, but if you’ll have me, I’ll only be gone long enough to get my stuff and come back to you—to come back home.”

JJ looked at his lover, and tears of happiness began falling down his face. I looked up and saw the stunning Zach wearing nothing but a smile. “Okay, who passed the clothing ban rule around here?”

The four of us laughed, and Johnny added, “You might as well climb in, too, Zach! It seems you’re part of the family now!”

Zach climbed into the bed between Johnny and JJ and crawled under the covers. He kissed JJ and said, “I was scared to death when I woke up, and you were gone. Then I heard you yelling for the guys to stop. So, I came up the stairs to make sure you were okay.”

“So, you heard what I said to Jason and Johnny?”

“Yeah, I heard it all. And I want nothing more than to come back as soon as I can and start sharing my life with you. And Friday night sure sounded like a hot time. I wish I could have seen that!”

JJ looked down, “I’m sorry you heard that, Zach. It was just something that happened. I didn’t know you were coming back. It really—”

Zach put his finger on JJ’s lips. “Why are you apologizing? At first, I was a little jealous, but then when I heard Jason and Johnny talk to you about it, I knew I had nothing to worry about.”

Johnny placed a kiss on Zach’s cheek. “You’re a good man, Zach. I’m so glad you are back in JJ’s life. But I want both of you to know something I learned when I was a young boy. Never carry regret with you. Always honor your past because that’s what makes you who you are today. I was so lucky to have a very wise grandmother. I have a feeling Zach understands a bit more than JJ. JJ, you get to let go of the bad feelings about your life. You get to remember that all of those things that you experienced have led to Zach and your mom coming back into your life.”

I added, “Johnny’s right JJ. When the three of us sat on the sofa and talked after the party, you kept saying how afraid you were of being alone. You’re never going to be alone, JJ. Think about it—the night Simon died, you came into our lives—and that was such a blessing for us. And then, less than 24 hours later, we’re at the airport picking up the love of your life, and then your mother comes back. Do you get it?”

“Yeah. God’s kinda got my back. I get that. Just be patient with me. It’s going to take some work to undo that fear I’ve been living with. But Zach, you gotta finish school, don’t you? How can you move back here?”

“I’m supposed to start the first summer session next week. The good news is that I’ve been taking classes every summer. I only have a few to go before I get my degree. And the classes I have left aren’t part of my major. They’re general studies classes. I can take them anywhere and transfer the credits back to FSU, so I can get my degree there. I can even take them online if I want.”

“Awesome, I’ve got this awfully big house now that I would love to share with you.”

I looked at my watch and noticed it was a little past 11:00. “Guys, we are going to need to leave here in an hour to meet JJ’s mom for brunch. Time for showers, boys! Johnny, is there a dress code for the Driskill?”

“Not really, but everyone usually wears dress pants and a dress shirt.”

“Khakis okay?”

“Perfect.”

We all climbed out of bed and headed into our respective bathrooms. From the downstairs bathroom, we heard some pretty loud moaning in between our rather loud moans. I’m glad everyone was getting their morning sex with the man he loved. By 11:45, everyone had taken care of their shower, their sex, and damn—we looked awfully good as we headed out the door.

We walked into the grand old hotel in downtown Austin and found Shirley waiting in the lobby. She stood up to greet us in a beautiful, sleeveless floral print dress. It was clear where JJ got his good looks. “Oh my! I’m the luckiest girl in Texas this morning! I dare anyone to claim they shared brunch with four more handsome men!”

Zach was the first to reach her, and he kissed her cheek. “You’re looking awfully fine yourself, Mrs. Combs.”

JJ walked up to his mom and hugged her. “You look awesome, Mama!”

We walked to the dining room and sat down at a round table near the center of the dining room. We all started with some coffee. Shirley and I ordered Mimosas, and Johnny had a Bloody Mary. Since JJ couldn’t legally drink, Zach decided to stick with the coffee even though he was 21. We all placed our orders and settled in for a lovely brunch.

I decided to start the conversation. “Shirley, JJ says you were at a conference this weekend. I hope it wasn’t a problem getting away.”

“Oh no, I had already made my presentation, and I was just sitting in on different sessions.”

“Mom, I just realized I don’t even know what you do now.”

“Well, I guess not. I was just a housewife when you were at home. I’m now a financial advisor for non-profits. I help them with grant applications and help them set up their day-to-day financial operations. I learned a lot when I helped your father with his church. I learned a lot more when I took several classes at the Community College.”

I was suddenly very interested. “Shirley, do you work for a particular organization?”

“No, I’ve been trying to, but until something comes up, I’m just freelancing.”

“Well, we need to talk as soon as possible. One of the first things I need to do this week is hiring someone to handle the financial operations of the theatre. Would something like that interest you?”

“Oh my! Seriously? That would be perfect! And I could spend a little more time near my boy!”

We continued with our meal, and Shirley agreed to meet me at the theatre at 1:00 on Monday. I made a note on my phone to let Bob know what was happening.

After brunch, we all hugged and parted ways. We headed to the theatre to begin striking the set. Johnny, JJ, and Zach all brought a change of clothes so they could work more comfortably. I went into my office and decided that it would be perfect for the soon-to-be-hired financial director. I then went into Simon’s office and began removing his personal things. I began stacking them up on the sofa and then sat down at the desk.

I opened the file cabinet in the credenza and started looking at some of the files that seemed like they would give me insight into the theatre's operations. Fortunately, Simon meticulously kept records, and I felt I would be up to snuff in a week—two weeks max.

Simon’s laptop was open and off to the side. I ran my finger across the finger pad, and the screen came to life. What I saw shocked me beyond anything I had ever seen before! It was the shower in my bathroom! What the fuck? How could this be? I got up and made a beeline into the theatre. My blood was boiling with anger. “Johnny!! Johnny!! I need you—NOW!!”
