Wedding Ring - 10. Chapter 10

"So he's not offering us anything," Thomas sighed as he talked to

Jacob during another one of their meetings.

 

"Only to put my mom into a home... which wouldn't be a bad idea but I don't want to sell anymore... not if Chris's main purpose is revenge."

 

"Well from what the judge has told me, a little paint and yard work is not going to cut it. He wants to see some real repairs if he's going to give us a stay to the court order."

 

"Like what?"

 

"Getting the house rewired at least. He says that is the main issue as it poses a fire hazard."

 

"Can we just do without electricity?"

 

Thomas laughed. "It would solve the problem but I doubt the judge would go for it."

 

"Ok... do you know any generous electricians who would do the job for free?"

 

"I do know of one but it would not be for free. He would want to bed you while he did the job... he's gay."

 

"Just because we're gay does not mean all we think about is sex,"

Jacob said a little offended.

 

"Hehehehe. It was not meant to be a generalized statement," Thomas quickly explained. "The guy I know likes to get off by sleeping with his clients. The problem is that if he likes you, he will take longer to do the job and we are in sort of a rush."

 

"Ok... that nixes that plan. So what are we going to do?"

 

"Have you thought about getting a loan?"

 

"I don't have a house... how can I get a loan?"

 

"You can buy one?"

 

"Not on my salary and not with all the student loans I still have."

 

"What about your sister?"

 

"Sis... she's trying to raise a child. She has no money to spare."

 

"Any friends?"

 

"Hey... one thing I learned early is to never mix money with friendship," Jacob said quickly dismissing the idea.

 

"You should at least ask?"

 

"My answer is NO!"

 

"Alright then, I better call my gay electrician friend up. I hope he likes you but not too much... and he likes sex with his lunch breaks by the way," Thomas said as he took out his cell phone.

 

"Ughhhhhh!" Jacob moaned.

 

****************************************

 

Will returned from a meeting to find Darren and Tara deep in discussion. Will smiled to see the baby in Darren's arms as he was being fed. Will almost felt that he was a parent too as Darren involved him in all of his discussion dealing with the baby. It almost made him wish he were a woman. To have a child with Darren would be the greatest gift he felt he could give both of them, but... Will liked dick. He liked Darren's dick as well as his own and he would not wish it away just to have a baby.

 

"What's up?" He smiled as he joined Darren on the couch, giving him a kiss.

 

"Jacob is in trouble. The city plans to tear down his childhood home unless it is brought up to code."

 

"So?" Will said not understanding.

 

"So... Jacob's house is huge. It would cost a fortune to pay for it.

I could buy a new house for the price."

 

"Then why don't they move?"

 

"Because my mother won't leave the place." Tara sighed.

 

"Oh." Will said

 

"And even if she agreed to sell the house, the bank will get all the money. My mom is carrying a lot of debt." Tara continued

 

"Then we need to get it fixed."

 

"That's the problem... we don't have the money."

 

"I do." Will said, taking enjoyment on seeing the shock on their faces.

 

"How?" Darren asked.

 

"Well, you have to promise not to get angry with me, Darren."

 

"Ok."

 

"Remember when I was in rehab and a lawyer came by to see if we wanted to sue the truck company that owned the truck that caused the accident?"

 

"Yes... I told him to find someone else to suck blood from." Darren replied... one of the things he felt was wrong in the country was there were way too many lawyers.

 

"Well I didn't use him, but I did find a good lawyer. The company settled out of court for a large sum of money."

 

"How large?" Tara asked with her eyebrows arched.

 

"Well considering the brain damage, hospital bills, pain and suffering... well into seven figures."

 

"Wow!" Both Tara and Darren said... mouths agape.

 

"You married yourself a rich man," Tara laughed as she punched Darren in the shoulder.

 

"And all this time I thought it would be me who was going to be the bread winner," Darren said.

 

"I know... that's why I didn't say anything. I like style of living you provide. Not extravagant but comfortable. It lets us enjoy the simple things in life so I don't want you to think your useless all of the sudden."

 

"I don't," Darren uncertainly said.

 

"Yes, you do. You have the need of feeling wanted...needed. Well,

Darren I need you and I don't want you to quit your job...and I want to give you this." Will said as he handed Darren an envelope.

 

"What is it?' Darren asked as he opened it.

 

"It's half of the settlement." Will smiled

 

"What... but this is your money?"

 

"No... it's our money. When it comes to pain and suffering you dealt with as much as I did if not more. I also don't want money to ever be an issue between us. I've seen coupled who started resenting each other when one controlled more money than the other. We are partners. What is important to you is important to me and that is why "we" are going to help

Jacob."

 

"We?"

 

"Yes love...we. Jacob is very important to you and therefore me. I want all of us... you Tara, Jacob, baby Michael, and me to be together.

That is why I want you to quit your job, move to Florida and become a researcher, husband, father and a best friend. You should not have to think you could only be one. Every one of those roles are important and every one of them I love."

 

"Oh gosh, Darren... I see now why I did not stand a chance against this man," Tara wept.

 

Will reached into his pocket again and took out a jewelry case and handed it to Tara. Inside was a silver ring. "Tara... will you be the mother to Darren's children and a best friend to me," Will said, as if he was proposing marriage.

 

"I would love to, but "children?" Tara asked taken aback.

 

"Yes, children. If you feel like you can, I would love for you to have more children with Darren."

 

"But Darren... you're gay?"

 

"Hehehe, do you think I did it so many times with you because I'm gay?"

 

"Well, you were in the closet," Tara said, as if that explained anything

 

"A closeted bisexual," Will grinned.

 

"Tara, I am attracted to both men and women. I guess it was easy to hide my attraction to men because I could release my sexual frustrations on women. I am coming to realize that the people I want to make love to has little to do with physical appearance but on how I feel about the person. I love you, Tara. I love Jacob. I love Will with all my heart."

 

"Tara, what I am asking is not easy." Will admitted. "I want us to always be a family. I know that one day, you will find the man of your dreams. I don't want to ever fear that a stepfather would take you and the baby away. Stay with us. Live with us..."

 

"Sleep with us?" Tara said uncertain, causing Darren's eyebrow to shoot up.

 

"Yes." Will said as he gave Tara a kiss.

 

"I better put the baby to bed," Darren gulped

 

"Yes and come back quickly," Tara said as she felt Will run his fingers down her body. "You're bisexual too?" She asked Will when Darren was out of the room.

 

"No... I'm definitely gay, but I find being with the mother of my husband's baby to be very erotic. I want to take part when the two of you make another one," He said as he slipped parts of Tara's dress off.

 

"Why do you think there will be another?"

 

"Because I know you love Darren."

 

"How?"

 

"Because I do too."

 

"Why do you and Darren have to be so perfect?"

 

"Hehehe. I was never perfect and neither was Darren. It was together, though, that we learned about perfect love... long before we ever made love."

 

Tara could tell Will was telling the truth. He and Darren had a perfect love that made them almost the same person. Since she had always worried about her brother's relationships she had been able to avoid thinking about her own. What did she want? Darren had been a good option until he picked Will over her, but she was over that now. Darren was being a wonderful father and she bet he would be a great one for any other kids the two could have. She had always thought that she would get married... it was the respectable thing to do, but what Will offered also seemed attractive. She could live with them knowing that if she ever had any problems they would be there to help her out. Sex... well, if Will was expecting more babies there was going to be plenty of that. It also left her with her freedom. If things didn't work out or she found the man of her dreams she could always leave.... but would she want to?

 

Darren was back and Will guided him toward her so that he was sandwiched between them. Tara had almost forgotten how good sex had been with Darren, but he was quickly reminding her. Like a set of train cars,

Will guided them to the bedroom. Darren lifted Tara off her feet and lowered her onto the bed. Will then did the same to Darren before joining them.

 

Tara had always liked gay porn. The men were always hotter, the dicks bigger, and there was something that tickled her when she saw two men making love. With Darren in the middle, she finally got a first eye look into man-on-man lovemaking. While Darren had been the dominant partner for both her and Jacob, it was Will who took charge of the situation, slowly stripping his lover of his clothes. Every now and then Darren would look at Tara and give her a guilty look as if he was just a little embarrassed. As soon as Will had Darren down to his boxers, he let go of him and moved him closer to Tara.

 

"Your turn," Will whispered in Darren's ear.

 

Darren blushed but went at it, constantly kissing Tara as he removed each article of clothing. Tara eyes though, were locked on to Will's who stared at her with a deep intensity. It was then that she realized what Will wanted. He wanted to be a father... a father to Darren's kids. To fuck Darren while he fucked her was the closest Will could get to making his own baby. The only other way was for him to have sex with her directly but that is not what he wanted. He wanted of be part of Darren creating a new life.

 

            **********************************************************

 

 

 

At first Chris had hired the investigator to dig up dirt on Jacob's attempt to repair the house. He had already gotten them fined for improper disposal of several cans of paint. But now that he had several pictures of

Jacob ... many with his shirt off, they were more useful as jack off material then actual blackmail.

 

Chris knew he should hate Jacob, but with all the correspondence, he found it hard to. The two of them had so much in common. Both men were past the desire to date casually. They only wanted to find the man of their dreams and keeping him. Jacob seemed to have all the qualities Chris was looking for... incredibly cute, incredibly sexy, and incredibly understanding. While having left the closet a long time ago, Jacob seemed to still understand what it was like. Jacob also didn't press him to take any immediate action... only to do what Chris felt ready for. Jacob did not say to do only what Chris felt comfortable with because Jacob told him that until he did come out, he would never feel comfortable with it or himself.

 

Chris was tempted to tell Jacob who really was but Chris knew that if he did so, Jacob would ask him to end his revenge against the community and it was already too late. Too much of his money was now sucked into the project. If he called it off now, it would be he who ended up in the poor house.

 

Chris relationship with his brother was also getting rocky. As he started to accept his sexuality more, his anger at his brother’s attempts trying to repress his new feelings grew. He had already turned down three of the women his brother brought over for him with each rejection leading to a more bitter response from Ted. Chris no longer believed that Jacob had come on to his brother. It had been like his situation. Ted had found gay porn on his computer once when he had been home from college. Ted had beaten him and had not left him alone until he had been sure that he brother slept with a woman he provided.

 

Ted still looked for signs to Chris's masculinity, be it women, drinking, or weight lifting. For Ted, it had been a fag that had ruined his life so he would be damned if he was going to let his brother become one. But when the private investigator told him he was going to put some hidden cameras in the house Chris made sure to tell him to put one in Jacob's bathroom... to check on the plumbing repairs he told him. The P.I. was not fooled but when he posed as a city house inspector, he positioned a camera that gave Chris a perfect view of Jacob entering and exiting the shower. The PI also now provided more pictures of Jacob with and without his shirt. Chris's laptop hard drive was being filled with his newest obsession. His dreams were filled with him holding Jacob... sharing his bed with Jacob... making love to Jacob. Chris felt he needed release so he finally, when he had built up the courage, sent Jacob his Skype number

 

**********************************************************

 

 

 

It was not like was asking for a meeting, Jacob told himself; he just wanted a more direct way of talking to him. Still, the idea of chatting with scared him. Emails were easier to handle. He could mentally prepare himself for them and take his time answering them. Chatting was completely different. The communication would be faster, leaving less time to think out one's response. Jacob might let it slip that he was falling for and that terrified him. What if laughed at him, blew him off, or worse told him he also liked him but really didn't? Rejection Jacob could handle but false promises of affection would tear him up inside. But Jacob knew that nothing risked meant nothing gained. If he had not let things heat up between Darren and him after their basketball game, he might have never have had the wonderful experience Darren had given him and it had been a good experience. Being with Darren had gotten Jacob over his issues of not getting close to someone. Darren had built up his self-confidence. Jacob could now accept another's love without feeling insecure that it would be fleeting. In the end, Jacob built up enough courage to use given him.

 

When he dialed the number there was a short pause followed by a man’s voice. Hi... was not sure if you would come.”

 

You are my friend, of course I would come.” Jacob noticed that the screen wasn’t showing the man’s face but an empty office. Wherever the man was standing, it had to be some distance away because Jacob could barely hear him.

 

I like you hopeless.

 

I like you too Hotguy.

 

No, l LIKE you.

 

Jacob knew what was trying to say but it would have to be him to say the magic three words.

 

I love you too.

 

Wow? I don’t know what to say.

 

Want to talk about it? If you want we can meet for coffee. Would love to get a good look at you. Jacob had not even finished speaking when Hotguy disconnected the line.

 

"Rats, I scared him off!" Jacob berated himself.

 

*******************************************************

 

The smell of cum surrounded Chris as his just shot load covered the bare chest of his body. Quitting skyping had been a knee jerk reaction out of fear. Now that he was falling in love with Jacob, the last thing he wanted him to learn was his true identity... better a virtual relationship then real rejection.

 

Chris remained in his chair for about an hour debating what he should do. He could end things now and continue with his plans for revenge. He could try to keep this virtual relationship alive...separating his personal life from his professional. He could also decide to come clean, confess everything to Jacob and hope he would still want a relationship with him. In the end Chris found he could not reach a decision. So, he decided to keep the status quo and maintain his virtual relationship but just in case... just maybe... if he got the courage to tell Jacob how he now felt, he made plans to try to get on the Hiller's good side.

 

Chris then went to bed, smearing his load across his sheets as he held his pillow as if it were a lover.

 

********************************************************

 

Jacob woke to the loud pounding on the front door and his mother yelling for him to answer it. Still naked from last night activities with the electrician, he slipped on his bathrobe and made his way downstairs to the front door. When he opened it, all the sleep that still weighed down his eyes disappeared as he saw his sister, the baby, Darren, and Will grinning from ear to ear.

 

"Y'all are here!" Jacob said surprised.

 

"Well, I couldn't let you put up with mother on your own," Tara laughed.

 

"But Darren and Will?'

 

"Hey Jacob," Darren said as he tried to pull him into a hug. Jacob hesitated for a second but then let himself fall into Darren's arms.

 

"I missed you," Darren wept as he kept kissing Jacob hard.

 

"I missed you too," Jacob agreed as he nuzzled up against him.

 

Slowly the party made their way back into the house, but Darren and

Jacob never let go of each other. Their happy reunion was only interrupted when Mrs. Hiller yelled that she demanded to know what was going on. Jacob almost left Darren's arms to rush upstairs, but Tara stopped him with a hand before making her way to her mother's room.

 

Once Darren and Jacob had finished with showing how much they missed each other, Will reached into his pocket and produced another ring. He handed it to Darren who in turn took Jacob's right hand and put it on his finger.

 

"What does this mean?" Jacob asked confused as he looked at the silver ring on his finger.

 

"It means you are a part of my life that I cannot separate from

Will, Tara, and me," Darren explained with a kiss.

 

"But Will is your husband."

 

"And you are his best friend," Will jumped in. "There is no reason why he should have to give you up just to have me."

 

Jacob turned his attention back to Darren. "You are more to me then just a best friend. You are the brother I never had and the lover I always wanted... I just wished I could be your husband."

 

"I know, Jacob. One day you might find him and when you do, I will be happy for you and still your brother."

 

"Can we continue this in the bedroom?" Will coughed as he adjusted his hard-on. Seeing Darren happy was the biggest turn on for him.

 

"What?" Jacob said bewildered.

 

"Well you don't have to if you don't want to but Will would like to join us in bed," Darren blushed.

 

"Why?"

 

"Because I want to be part of any love Darren has for you and your sister," Will explained.

 

"My sister... you mean..."

 

"Yes, she joined us in a threesome," Will grinned

 

"Ewww! I hope you don't expect me to do it with her."

 

"Not at all. It will just be us three... you me and Darren."

 

"Wow," Jacob said as the idea began to grow on him ...literally.

 

"Darren told me that for a short while we were lovers. I hope that you can jog my memory a bit." Will said as he walked over to Jacob and ran his hand across the obvious bulge in his robe.

 

"Oh gosh..." Jacob sighed as he felt himself surrounded by two of the hottest guys he had the pleasure of bedding.

 

Darren took the belt around Jacob's bathrobe and untied it, letting the clothing fall to the ground. While he worked the front of Jacob's body, Will made do with his back, kissing his neck and shoulders.

 

"Want to lead us to the bedroom?" Will hissed in Jacob's ear.

 

"Oh gosh... yes," Jacob sighed. He was willing to do it in the main hall if they wanted to.

 

Will stepped back as Darren lifted Jacob off his feet, carrying him in his arms as he took large strides up the stairs with Will following after them, taking off clothes as he went. As soon as they reached the top of the stairs, Jacob told Darren to turn right until he reached the end of a long hallway and the door that led to Jacob's room. Darren dropped off Jacob in the middle of the large four-post bed. Jacob then watched from the bed as Will, now naked, undressed Darren as he remained standing slowly removing each article of clothing as he talked to Jacob.

 

"Jacob, I know you are a bottom but I would like you to fuck me,"

Will said seriously.

 

"Why?" Jacob said as he blushed when Darren licked his lips at him.

 

"I have fucked Darren. Darren has fucked me. You have fucked Darren and from what Darren has told me I have fucked you. The only thing that we have not done is have you fuck me."

 

"But I'm no good at it."

 

"That's not what Darren has told me." Will said as he unzipped

Darren's pants.

 

"Darren is a nice guy and all but he is a liar."

 

"No he was very serious. Sex is more then what a person does to you physically; it is also how they affect you emotionally. When you fucked him, Darren told me he felt he was becoming closer to you. I want to feel the same thing."

 

"Why are you not talking?" Jacob asked Darren.

 

"It's a long story but let’s just say that during rehab I learned to be more of a listener," Darren chuckled before exhaling as Will gave his balls a squeeze.

 

"So will you fuck me?" Will asked before running his tongue down the side of Darren's neck.

 

"You better let me do something cause the two of you are driving me crazy." Jacob said. He was still confused. He did not remember Will being like this. He had always been more of a shy lover. Now he seemed to be sex crazed... focused on the erotic. Jacob would have to ask Darren about this when he had the chance but for the moment it was driving him crazy.

 

Will pulled Darren's shorts down to his knees. Darren stepped out of them and swayed over to the bed taking Jacob in his arms. "What would you like me to do?" Darren whispered in Jacob's ear.

 

"Tell me what the hell is happening." Jacob whispered back.

 

Darren's face took on a pained expression that begged Jacob not to make an issue of things now. He did whisper, "I will tell you later."

 

"Fuck me," Jacob finally said when he decided to just go with the flow for now.

 

After Will had taken his dick like a hungry man and fallen asleep,

Darren pulled Jacob out of the bed.

 

"Is there somewhere we can talk?"

 

"Sure," Jacob said, ready to get some answers, leading Darren to the office. "What's up?"

 

"Well as you can see, Will is a little of a horn-dog right now."

 

"Yeah... that surprised me."

 

"It’s an effect of the accident," Darren said with a heavy heart.

 

"How can a car wreck make one into a sex maniac?"

 

"Will asked the same thing. He says he's just trying to make up for lost time but I know Will and I know he is different. Oh he's still the man I love but his behavior is more erratic."

 

"What do the doctors say?"

 

"He's bipolar... racing thoughts, hyper sexuality, crazy spending, insomnia. That's how he is when he's on an upswing. When he's down, he's very hard on himself."

 

"I'm sorry, Darren."

 

Darren gave Jacob a weak smile. "I'm not. Even with his problems he is a wonderful partner."

 

"But..."

 

"But... I wish he would follow the doctor's advice and take his meds."

 

"Why doesn't he?"

 

"Because when he's on them, he's not the sexual animal he is right now. He likes his newfound sexual appetite. It lets him forget the times when he had to be strapped to the bed. When he took the meds he found it hard to even get an erection so he quit taking them. Will wants to live life to the fullest. He feels the meds are holding him back. His bi-polar highs are almost a drug addiction. When he crashes it is almost as bad as if he is going through withdrawal. He gave me half the money from the crash settlement which is just the sort of impulsiveness I’ve come to expect lately.”

 

"And you're willing to go along."

 

"I'm not just going along... I will also be there to save him if things get out of hand. We have agreed that if I think things are out of control he will see a doctor."

 

"He might agree to it, but do you think he will follow up on it?"

Jacob asked skeptically.

 

"I don't know, but I will try to trust him. His friendship means so much to me."

 

"So does yours, Darren. That's why I want you to make me a promise."

 

"Ok."

 

"If I think you are turning a blind eye on Will you will let me smack you into seeing that he needs help."

 

"Ok...deal."

 

"Now come over here and hug me," Jacob grinned, wanting to move past the seriousness of the moment.

 

"Love to." Darren smiled as he took Jacob into his arms.
