A Second Chance - 15. Chapter 15

Morning came and the day was filled with turmoil. Mike and JC went out checking the ranch, and Clyde was busy, getting ready for the party.

Greg came out and we worked out the planning for the new construction on the ranch, along with other company business, which would never stop.

Greg and I also went over the guest list for the party, making sure that only those that were comfortable with JC’s and my sexuality would be there, we didn’t want any unpleasantness spoiling our special day.

It looked like we were going to have a guest list of about 75 to 80 people present. Greg let Clyde know the number later, but in plenty of time for the final preparations.

Saturday ended after a wonderful prime rib dinner with all the trimmings.

JC, Mike, and I talked well into the evening, mostly just small talk, but quite a bit about the new ranch operations. I was very pleased with Mike and his ideas.

I was getting horny, because we seemed to be too busy for making love, so I said to JC, "Hon, can we go to bed now? I need you."

JC… "Mike, if you want to just watch TV or make any phone calls, just use the phone in my office. There is a TV in the guestroom. But you can stay in the living room if you want to. Fuck! Just make yourself at home, bud!" I then looked at Charlie, saying, "I’m coming love." Grinning at Mike as I left the room, knowing he knew exactly what was going to happen.

Charlie…

JC and I undressed each other as soon as we got into the bedroom, and headed for the shower. We washed each other totally, then dried trying not to get the other off, but we were both so horny that, it was hard to keep from climaxing in the shower. But we both wanted to be on the bed tonight.

I took JC’s hand and we got onto the bed but this time I wanted JC inside me. So I turned onto my stomach and said, "Lil’Cowboy, take me tonight I’m all yours forever."

JC took the tube of KY, and worked up my crack and my rosebud, working first one finger in, and playing with my love nut, causing me to moan, telling him;"Careful love, or I’ll shoot too soon." Then he slowed down, working his way up to three fingers, all the while, stroking his own cock, until I was ready. I then got up on my knees giving him complete access to my rosebud. Then I felt him pressing his manhood into my hole, until I could feel his balls slapping my butt. I had learned from him that rocking back and forth, in rhythm with him, was pure ecstasy. He was stroking my cock, and it was driving me wild, I told him "God! I’m so closeee, I’m cominggg… I shot my load onto the bed and all over JC’s hand.

JC…"Oh, God! I am ready, oh shittt! I’m cominggg… When Charlie shot his load, his ass muscle squeezed my cock so hard I thought it was going to break. We just collapsed onto each other. I kissed Charlie’s back working my way around him rolling him over so I could kiss him, and love him face to face. We fell asleep on top of the bed, totally spent, and naked.

The big day had arrived; we woke with someone knocking on our bedroom door.

JC…"Who is it?"

Charlie… I was trying to pull some covers over us, but that was useless. We were still lying on top of the bed, both with our morning hardons. I looked at JC.

JC… I yelled again, "Who is it?" I was blushing not knowing if they would just walk in or not.

"It's Clyde; breakfast will be ready in about 30 minutes. I need to get things going, for the party?"

JC… I replied, "Ok, Clyde, have you woken Mike yet?"

Clyde ... "He is up and sitting outside, already."

JC... "Ok, we'll be out in a few!" I looked at Charlie smiling at him saying, "Good morning love, it's our special day!"

Charlie… "Oh God, I love you so much, JC!" I leaned over and kissed him, our tongues pressed together looking for a place to play in. Then, realizing that we really didn't have time for lovemaking, this morning. I broke the kiss telling JC, “I wish we had more time, my love, but we need to get moving."

JC… "That's ok. We have forever, together, my love. And tonight, we will be alone again in our home." I brushed the hair out of Charlie's beautiful eyes.

Charlie…

We took our shower together, because that's what we always did, and we always will if we are together. It just seems so right, and we both love it so much. We dressed casual. We would change into more fitting attire later. We then both went into the kitchen for breakfast, finding Clyde and Mike sitting at the table waiting for us.

"Good morning" I said, as I entered the kitchen, looking at Mike.

JC … "Good morning Clyde and you too, bud." I smiled at Mike and Clyde.

Mike… I returned the greetings, saying, "Good morning, to both of you, I love this ranch. It's so nice and cool compared to Arizona.”

Charlie… "Just wait until winter comes, and see how cold and snowy it gets." I laughed.

JC… "Well I haven't seen that yet."

We all ate breakfast, then we excused ourselves, so Clyde could prepare for the party.

Clyde … "Thanks, and I will have everything ready on time, Charlie. You three go do something and get out of my way. Please?" I laughed good naturedly at them. Then I motioned them out of the kitchen.

JC, Mike, and I decided to call Carl and take a short trip around Casper, until it was time for the party, which was a good idea. It helped keep our minds occupied with something else. I was nervous, and I could tell JC was nervous as well. Mike just kept looking at the two of us, with a sincere and heartfelt look about him. I knew in my heart that one day JC and Mike would be together, also knowing that JC would never leave me for anyone else. We took in all the local sites around town. We headed back to the ranch about 11 o'clock in the morning. We all changed into something a little more formal. At about 11:30 a.m. some of the guests started arriving. Greg took care of the guests. The place was decorated exquisitely. There were blue and gold crate paper streamers around all the tables, there were blue tablecloths. There was a podium, and stage set up with a small band playing country music. Which was a total and pleasant surprise to both JC and me. The party started on its own.

Clyde had set up a buffet style luncheon for everyone. Everyone just started helping him or herself, finding seats at tables or milling about. JC went one way and I another, speaking to all our guests, some of whom, JC was meeting for the first time, so he was somewhat at a loss for words, but he did very well, and everyone at the party seemed to like him. Time passed quickly that afternoon. The band was playing and some of the folks even danced. That triggered JC. He came up to me and said, "let’s dance together my love."

"Ok my love," and we danced a few slow dances, and kissed in front of everyone there. It felt so strange doing that, but everyone seemed unchanged at seeing us being affectionate with each other. It was about five o'clock now, and so I took my glass and tapped my spoon on it, getting everyone's attention. When everyone quieted down to a low roar, I laughed out loud telling them,

"JC and I have something to say, if you will indulge us for a few moments."

Everyone just clapped their hands for a few seconds, and then there was silence, in anticipation of our remarks.

"When JC and I started planning this party, we talked about having some kind of commitment ceremony, or maybe just exchanging vows, but we’re both on the shy side and we figured everyone already knew what this was all about and how committed to one another we are. But even though I'm not one for speeches, I thought we should say a few words to all of you." I turned to JC and he was giving me a bewildered look. We hadn't planned this; I was just winging it.

"First, thank you all for coming today, and for sharing our joy. You are all special to us, and we love having you in our lives. Mostly, I just want to say a few words about this guy, standing beside me. Before I met JC, I thought my life was pretty much over, that the best days were behind me. Then JC came along through a chance meeting, on a flight to Paris, and woke me up. He gave me a new life, with his love. I've hit a few rough spots over the last several weeks, but JC has always been there for me, supporting me, and loving me. But I don’t just love JC for what he's done for me; I love him for who he is -- a sweet, kind, generous loving man with the biggest heart in the world. A few of you have had some problems understanding and accepting the changes I've gone through since, loosing James, but if you have any doubts that this is for real and a good thing, think about where I was just a month or so ago and where I am today. The difference is JC." I turned and looked into his beautiful blue eyes. "Thank you for loving me, Justyn Case Andersen. Please take this bracelet as a token of my love?" The inscription reads, "With all my heart, Lil'Cowboy, I will love you forever Charlie."

Then I placed the bracelet on his left wrist.

JC took the microphone from me. "This isn't fair. Charlie didn't tell me that we were going to make speeches." He took a deep breath and looked around the yard. "Before I speak, I would like to quote from a great story I found on the internet. It reflects how I feel about our life together..." I pulled a paper from my pocket and began to read...

Excerpt from:

<><><><>"BRIARWOOD" aka "Whence Cometh My Help" R.S.V., A dramatic saga, by Ritch Christopher, literary enhancement by Les Martin <><><><>

Each new day is a lifetime. When we awake in the morning, we realize that we made it through the night and we've lived to see a brand new day. Millions will die today. Over half won't even be aware it's coming. <> Few of us ever really know what's going on inside our bodies. Will a minute piece of stored cholesterol break free from an artery and try to pass freely through the heart? We get up in the dark at night to go to the bathroom and accidentally hit our shin on the bed. Do we ever get concerned that that slight bump in the dark can cause an embolism and a day, a week, a month later, we have a heart attack or CVA without ever knowing what caused it? We drive from our house to the grocery store to pick up bread and milk, never knowing that some idiot driver on a side street is going to run a red light and crash into the side of our car. Freak and bizarre incidents which are life-threatening happen every minute of every hour of every day. Then, of course, there are the soldiers and sailors, fighting wars around the world. Do they go off to battle daily, knowing this might be their last day? No matter where or how you look, life has always been and will always be uncertain. Remember, 'Carpe diem'? Seize the day! I've always said seize the moment, make it count. It's not just an idiom when you hear, 'live each day as if it were your last', because it just might be. And that, my love, is why every moment we have together, every moment we share must count! It must be filled with meaning, with no regrets, because the next moment might not be there."

<><><><> End Quote <><><><>

"Thank you for indulging me. As many of you know, and some of you have just met me, I wasn't doing so well myself at this time a few months ago. I had no one who loved me, a job that just took me everywhere in the world, and still I was lost. I had no idea, what I wanted, or where I was going. And then by chance, on a flight to Paris, I met Charlie, someone I wasn't even looking for. He gave me love and support and a new life. It's a package deal and a pretty big package at that. Believe me when I tell you, that took some getting used to, but Charlie was there for me every step of the way." He turned and looked at me. "You have completed my life by giving me things I never even knew I wanted. I will love you forever. Please take this bracelet as a token of my love?" The inscription reads, "My heart will always be yours, Sweetheart, with all my love JC."

I placed it on Charlie's left wrist.

Charlie…

I picked up the microphone and added this to my comments. "Justyn Case Andersen, you are now not only my partner in life, but you are from this moment on, a full partner of Lambert, Lambert, & Andersen, Inc. Yes, I want everyone here to know that. All the legal documents will be signed this afternoon as we have our corporate attorney present here at the party.

Both JC and I made sure that we got around the crowd shaking hands, and talking with everyone that came. The party was a huge success, and believe it or not, everyone seemed happy with the outcome.

After everyone left, JC and I sat on the porch swing looking up at Casper Mountain there was a slight breeze blowing, then the breeze turned into more of a gusty wind. There it was a crystal-clear evening not a cloud in the sky, except for a little wisp of cotton up on the mountain, and a moment I thought I heard James saying, "Well done, my love, you did well, It's alright my love."
