Number Twenty Five
When Ryan returned from London, he was still very worried about his mother. She had commenced treatment but it wasn't going well so they'd kept her in hospital.
"I'm planning to go back to London the day after tomorrow if that's okay James"
"Sure, how long will you be staying?" I ask.
"Don't know; it will depend on how the treatment goes but I'm staying with Tom, a friend of mine, to save hotel costs"
"Who's Tom?" I ask trying not to look too miffed that'd he not mentioned him before.
Ryan laughs and moves over to kiss me, "Don't worry, he's not a threat to us; he's an old friend and many years ago we did have a fling but it didn't last; he's a good friend though and I've told him about us and that he must come and stay sometime to meet you".
"Right" I reply trying not to feel too guilty about my feelings towards Luke.
"I'm more worried about how you're going to cope here because the next few weeks we are fully booked."
I tell him that Luke has been brilliant and has not only cooked the breakfast but also helped me around the place with cleaning and general jobs. I also tell him that Luke has got a casual bar job three days a week but it would still mean he could help me.
"So he's definitely planning to stay in Brighton then" Ryan says more as a statement than a question.
I nod, "The problem is finding accommodation; he's found even small bedsits are expensive as well as being pretty poor quality in Brighton".
"Mm"
I try and assess whether this is a good time to mention my idea about converting the room behind the laundry room as a bedroom for Luke and installing a shower. I've already had a quiet word with Mike and he's told me that installing a shower in that area would not be a problem and wouldn't cost that much.
After a pause, I decide to broach the subject.
"How would you feel about Luke working and living here on a permanent basis?" I ask tentatively.
Ryan looks at me and ponders for a moment.
"What to help you?"
"Yep"
"And where would he live; we need to let out his current room at the end of his six weeks."
I tell him about my idea and the cost involved and that Luke is willing to decorate the room and even pay for the installation of the shower. Ryan considers it for a moment.
"I presume we could find somewhere else for what is stored in there and it would mean that between the three of us there is always someone on the premises. I take it you've talked to him about this idea."
"Yep, and he'd love to join us if you feel the business would stand employing another person although he is saying that he'd be happy to work as recompense for free board and lodging."
"And of course you'd have his gorgeous butt around you every day!" Ryan added grinning.
I wasn't quite sure how to take this so I laugh it off, "I can't manage on my own Ryan and you seem to spend more and more time writing or being away".
"I know babe and I was going to talk to you about that because the writing and other aspects of that are taking more and more of my time. I've had another offer to make my second book into a film so that will be yet more work. You do seem to manage the guesthouse business very well so I'd be happy to leave you to handle it with assistance and if you're happy to employ Luke then it's fine by me."
I am relieved since I wasn't sure if Ryan would go along with my idea.
"We make a great team" I exclaim as I gave Ryan a big hug and a kiss.
"You do, I can see that" he replies.
That evening over our meal, Ryan tells Luke what we'd decided.
"Oh fuck, that's wonderful guys, thank you so much" Luke exclaims excitedly.
Ryan is clearly pleased at Luke's enthusiasm.
"And you're sure you don't mind having the room off the laundry room?" Ryan asks.
"Fuck no, I'm only going to sleep there; I take it I can still eat with you guys and use the lounge area if I want."
"Of course you can" Ryan tells him.
We then discuss the financial arrangements and Ryan tells Luke that he'd rather employ him and deduct a small rent for the accommodation.
"Yeah, whatever" Luke replies; he's so excited at the thought of working and living at the guesthouse that he doesn't seem to be bothered about money. From what he has told me I get the feeling that he is not short of a bob or two!
Ryan also tells him that he will pay for any work to be done to get the room in good shape and to have the shower installed.
"You can choose the colour of the wall paint if you want" Ryan chuckles.
The following day, I contact Mike about the shower and the painter to come in and decorate the room. Both are available to come in within a couple of days so Luke and I set to and clear the room. Many items can be thrown out since we decide they are not needed now. Other items are hauled up to the attic for storage.
Within a week, the room has been decorated and a wardrobe unit has been installed for Luke's clothes plus a new carpet. When it's finished it really looks nice. Although it's in the basement, it still has some natural light and it's possible to see sky through the window that extends along one wall. Mike installs a shower cubicle plus a small basin next to it whilst all the other work is going on.
"There we are Luke, your own private bathroom" I say laughing when Mike has finished and left us to admire his work.
"It's fucking brilliant" Luke exclaims excitedly, "thank you so much James".
I pull him into my arms and we kiss and cuddle.
"All we now need is to get the bed ready" I laugh.
"Mm, I can think of a very good way to christen the room when that's made up" he replies chuckling, "shall we do it now?"
I agree and collect some bedding off the shelves. Once we've made the bed Luke says he wants to collect his things from his other room and move in.
"You've paid for another two weeks" I remind him, "why not move in after that?"
"Fuck that, I want to move in now; you can let the room during the next two weeks and make some extra money; I don't want anything back for the final two weeks; I'm just so pleased you and Ryan have agreed to do this for me James, I really am."
I can tell he really means this and pull him into my arms for another hug, "You're more than welcome Luke, it's great to have you part of the team".
"Come on then, lets clear my room and whilst I'm getting my clothes organised you can contact some of those guys you've turned away to see if they still want a room; after that you can come down for a big long fuck!"
"Just as well Ryan is away" I reply grinning.
Luke laughs, "Yeah, when the cat's away and all that!"
We collect Luke's clothes and personal items from the room he's been using and take them down to his new room. Whilst he sorts himself out, I go to the office and send off three emails to guys who I have recently had to turn down. I tell them there is only one room available so it will be first come first serve. Almost by return, I receive a reply from one of the guys saying that he and his partner would love to book the room for two weeks. I reply asking him to call me so as to take a deposit on his credit card and he rings almost immediately.
"Thanks so much" he says excitedly, "we really want to stay at your place because we've had such fantastic comments so were disappointed when we found everything was booked up".
Having taken his deposit I tell him we look forward to seeing them.
"And me mate, thanks once again"
I quickly email the other two informing them that the room has already been booked and go downstairs to tell Luke the news.
"Fuck, that was quick" he exclaims.
He has already put his clothes away and is standing stark naked admiring his new room.
"Mm, now that is a gorgeous sight" I say slapping his naked butt.
"Any chance of putting these two suitcases in the attic?" he says grinning.
"Sure" I reply and pick up one of the cases. Luke picks up the other and we make our way up to the attic. Me in my thong and him stark naked!
"Come and try my new bed out" Luke says once we've climbed down the extending ladder to the attic. He then puts his arms round my waist whilst I push the ladder back into its parked position and slowly pulls my thong down my legs. Before I have time to say anything he's got them off my feet so I too am standing stark naked. My cock is soon showing signs of excitement along with his as we make our way back down to his bedroom.
We spend the next hour or more having sex. He has the most gorgeous body imaginable and I take great delight in licking my way down it from top to bottom and sucking his rampant organ on the way.
"Oh fuck James that feels so good" he cries out.
I lift his legs high up over his chest and lick his entrance. He again cries out with joy as my hot tongue flicks back and forth across his puckered hole. I pull the hole open with my fingers and push my tongue deep inside whilst feeling his two gorgeous nuts in my hand. Luke is crying out with joy and clearly enjoying every second.
"Fuck me James, please fuck me" he finally implores.
I'm ready to do just that and before long I have my rampant organ deep inside him. I love fucking Ryan but fucking Luke seems even better for some reason. Perhaps it's because it is pure sex without the complication of love but I do love him as well.
"Oh god I so love having your cock inside me" Luke is saying as I thrust my rod back and forth.
"I want you to shoot in my mouth so don't come just yet" he then tells me.
"I want you to fuck me first" I tell him grinning, "then you can suck me off and I'll suck you off".
We eventually change over and I am experiencing his long hard cock up my arse. We seem to be just perfect for each other when it comes to sex and I enjoy every second. I also enjoy sex with Ryan but recently he's been so worried about his mum and tied up with his writing that our sex life has taken a backward step despite me trying to get him aroused. He knows I'm disappointed and I'm sure he knows that Luke and I have sex when he's not around.
"You into threesomes?" I ask Luke once he's finished fucking me.
"Yeah, you bet I am" he grins, "why?"
"Was thinking that when Ryan gets back we should all three get together"
"Fucking brilliant" Luke replies excitedly, "can't wait to get my cock up his arse".
I laugh and pull Luke towards me so that I can suck him off. It's not long before he's shooting his load into my mouth and I'm savouring his hot seed.
"Fuck that was good James; fucking brilliant" Luke says once I've licked his cock clean. He then leans over my still erect organ and brings me to that moment of ecstasy.
When I've come down off my high, we lie back on the bed and relax.
"I'm so happy James, I really am" Luke says.
I turn and smile at him. It's great to be part of someone else's happiness and it makes me feel good.
"Why don't we eat out tonight, go to a bar and onto a club" I suggest.
"Sounds good to me" Luke chuckles, "but first we'll try out the new shower".
It's only a single shower so not large enough for both of us to get inside and wash so I watch Luke shower first before trying it out myself. We both agree that it's good.
As I finish drying myself off, my mobile rings. It's Ryan.
"Hi babe, how things going?"
I tell him that Luke's room and the shower are finished and that he has moved in. When I tell him that I've booked Luke's old room for the next two weeks he can't believe it.
"Fuck, that's quick, how you manage that?"
I tell him that Luke didn't want to wait to move into his new room so suggested I contact the guys I've recently had to turn away.
"God, you two are fucking brilliant" Ryan exclaims laughing.
"How's your mum?"
He tells me that the treatment is going okay but she has a long way to go yet.
"I'll be another two days if that's okay babe; the theatre group want me to help them some more and I've also got a meeting with the film company tomorrow; see you on Friday evening all going well."
I tell him that's fine and ask "How's Tom?"
"He's fine" Ryan replies and I get the feeling that he's feeling slightly uncomfortable about me asking.
"Okay, see you on Friday then; love you"
"And you babe; be good" he replies laughing.
"Aren't I always!" I reply giggling.
We both laugh and I end the call knowing that he's more than likely fucking Tom whilst I'm fucking Luke!
I go down to the Jacuzzi room to make sure everything is okay down there and set up a porn film just in case anyone wants to watch one whilst we're out. There is nobody down there but as I'm making my way back up, one of the guests comes in through the front door.
"Hi Rob, had a good day?" I ask breezily.
He looks at my semi nakedness in my thong and grins, "Yeah, brilliant but seeing you like that is the cherry on the top!"
"Good, we aim to please!" I laugh as I shoot up to the flat to get changed for going out with Luke.
I take Luke to a vegetarian restaurant in the Lanes where Ryan had taken me previously. As we are early we manage to get a table. The food is always brilliant and I know Luke will enjoy it too. Sure enough he does and makes a note of some of the dishes to try out for himself at home.
After our meal, we go to a gay bar that Luke has not been to before. It's rough and ready but always good fun and we meet several guys I've met before in the time I've been in Brighton. At ten, we decide to move off to a club. Again I decide to take Luke to a club that I've only been to once before. It's small but cosy. The other reason for choosing it is because I happen to know they've got a stripper on that night and I'm a sucker for strip acts!
"Oh yes, I love strippers" Luke says once he realises a stripper is on stage in due course.
We get our drinks and once we've drunk them we move onto the dance floor. Luke is very passionate with me and has his arms draped over me kissing me and groping me whenever he can. I certainly don't object and rather enjoy the attention. I get the feeling that the drink is making him particularly amorous but I'm happy to let him have his fun.
We get chatting to another couple of guys and every so often buy each other drinks in between jumping and jiggling around on the dance floor. Eventually the stripper is announced and everyone stops and gathers round the stage area. I can feel hot half naked body up close behind me and Luke puts his arm round my waist. I then suddenly feel one of the guys we've been having fun with putting his arm round my waist as well so I'm sandwiched between him and Luke. I look round to see where his mate has gone and ask him where he is.
"Fucked off with another guy" Gary tells me clearly miffed that he's been left on his own.
I put my arm round his waist and pull him in tighter to make him feel wanted. I put my other arm round Luke and do the same to him. We all grin at each other and turn towards the stage to watch the stripper.
He's good and we all enjoy his act. He gets several guys in the front row involved and one by one he has them on stage, thrusts his hand inside their trousers to have a good feel at what he can find beneath. With one guy he even unfastens his trousers, lets them drop round his ankles and then pulls his cock out for all to see. The crowd cheer and applaud the guy, especially as the exposed organ is very much erect!
When the stripper has finished, Luke whispers into my ear, "Shall we invite Gary back?"
I grin and nod so put my mouth up to Gary's ear and say "You want to come back with us for a drink and some fun together?"
Gary immediately nods so we make our way through the crowd and back home which is only about ten minutes walk away.
"Wow you guys staying here?" Gary asks as we walk in.
Luke explains that I am one of the owners and that he works at the guesthouse. We decide to use Luke's new room so take Gary down to the basement. Gary is clearly amused to be taken through the laundry room but when we get into Luke's room his eyes light up when he sees a nice large double bed!
On the way down, I've picked up some cans of beer for us to drink before we get down to serious business!
It turns out that Gary is a bottom so Luke and I take great delight in giving him a good long hard fuck before finally sucking him off. It's gone one in the morning by the time we see Gary off the premises having exchanged numbers to meet up again sometime.
"Mm, he was a bit of alright wasn't he?" Luke exclaims when we go back down to his room.
"Yeah" I agree, "and what a gorgeous arse to fuck!"
We both laugh and fall into bed again.
"You want to stay the night with me then?" Luke asks clearly hoping that I'll say yes.
I do and after another round of sex we finally get some sleep before having to be up at seven to be ready for breakfast. Fortunately gays don't generally want breakfast too early so we have plenty of time to get ready for the first couple who appear at eight thirty.
Luke and I make a good team and he can certainly produce excellent food. Everybody is beaming by the time they've finished eating and off for the day. Once we've cleared away in the kitchen we set to cleaning the rooms and making the beds. My head is still fuzzy after our night of drinking but somehow we get through it all. That afternoon, Luke is working at the bar so he disappears for his three hour stint. I take the time to rest in the flat and do some personal stuff.
Ryan calls me early evening just before Luke gets home. He seems in good spirits so I guess things are going okay with his work and his mum.
"See you tomorrow evening babe" he finally says as he rings off having said he loves me.
By the time Ryan arrives home, Luke has cooked us another one of his superb meals. We all sit down and we tell Ryan all the news. Luke is dying to show Ryan his new room now it is complete. I can tell that Ryan is not his usual bubbly self but he hasn't said anything about his work or his mum.
"Something wrong Ryan?" I finally ask.
He looks at me and I sense a tear about to form in his eyes.
"What's wrong my love? Is it your mum?"
He nods and tells us that the treatment is not going as well as expected. Luke is sitting beside him and places a comforting hand on top of Ryan's.
"I'm sorry mate; cancer is a real bugger when it gets a hold" Luke says quietly.
Ryan still looks as if he's about to cry so I get up and put my arms round him.
"Come on love, tell us all about it, don't hold it in" I say trying to ease his pain.
He finally tells us what the doctors have told him and it doesn't sound good. His mum is taking it in her stride it seems so it is Ryan who is finding it difficult to cope.
"When are you going back to see her?" I ask.
He looks at me again with a pitying look.
"I feel I need to be with her but it means me staying in London for several more days" he finally replies.
"Well you must go; Luke and I can cope here can't we Luke?" I say looking for Luke's support.
"Of course we can; you must go Ryan; you can't leave her on her own whilst she's going through all of this."
He looks at both of us as if we've lifted a burden off his shoulders.
"You sure you don't mind babe?"
I pull him into my arms again and tell him that of course I don't mind. With that it is agreed that he will go back to London the following morning and stay for as long as is necessary.
After we've finished our meal, I tell the others that I'll clear up so that Luke can show Ryan his new room. Luke is so excited and I smile to myself. He's so happy and he's like a kid with a new toy that he must show off.
When I've finished clearing away the dishes Ryan and I go up to the flat and cuddle up together on the sofa.
"How's the theatre project going?" I ask trying to get his mind off his mum for a moment.
He mumbles that it's going okay but I can see his mind is still on the main item of concern.
"I'm sure she'll get through this Ryan; you've just got to be strong for her" I say although I don't really know how bad things are.
He nods and I hold him tighter which seems to comfort him for a while. Eventually we go to bed and instead of the sex I'd had in mind for when he returned he just lays there. I put my arms round him again and slowly he goes to sleep leaving me wide awake and wondering what would happen if his mum doesn't come through this.
The next morning Ryan leaves yet again for London and Luke and I are left to manage the guesthouse. The place is brimming with guests but all goes smoothly. Luke is certainly a willing and hard working guy and he is a pleasure to work with. As we go through our many tasks we have a good laugh and the odd grope!
When we've finished doing the rooms and vacuumed the corridors, Luke takes our cleaning gear down to the laundry room where we keep it all whilst I go and mop the Jacuzzi area. As I do so, I notice a couple of used condoms on the floor beneath one of the loungers and chuckle to myself. It reminds me to get a waste bin for such items!
When I go down to the laundry room I find Luke stripped naked and running washed sheets through the ironing machine.
"Oh yes, I like that" I laugh looking at his naked backside, "a naked laundry boy, how gorgeous".
I put my arms round him and grab his cock which is waving about.
"Mm, that feels nice" he replies as he switches off the ironing machine. He then leads me by the hand and takes me into his bedroom. Once in there he strips me of my thong and immediately goes down on me. As usual, my organ is soon rock hard and I am enjoying the feel of his hot mouth round the bulbous head.
"Fuck, I so love sucking your cock James" he exclaims between sucks.
"And I love you sucking it" I manage to reply in between gasps of pleasure as he brings me to that wonderful point of no return.
As I explode into his mouth I cry out with joy. I've been so pent up with worrying about Ryan and feeling somewhat sexually frustrated having not been able to relieve myself with Ryan the previous night that this release is just what I need.
"Oh fuck, that was so good" I exclaim when I'm finally spent and Luke is looking up grinning at me.
"Thought you needed that" he replies chuckling, "I could tell you were feeling uptight".
I pull him into my arms and feel his own erection pressing against my stomach. I kiss him passionately before releasing his lips from mine and holding his head a few inches away so I can look into his eyes.
"You're a very special guy Luke" I say with a hint of a tear in my eyes.
He kisses me back and replies "So are you James McCauley".
We lie in each other's arms for a while and enjoy the feel of our naked bodies together. As we lie there I tell him about the two condoms I found in the Jacuzzi area and we laugh.
"Randy buggers" Luke chuckles, "but it's good to know that guests feel they can enjoy themselves freely".
"After lunch I'll go out and buy a small waste bin for such items" I say casually.
"Yeah, good idea; we'll put a notice up saying 'put your fucking condoms in here you randy buggers' and label it the condom bin!" Luke laughs.
"First we'd better finish off the ironing" I say.
"God you're a hard task master" he giggles.
"Yeah, watch it because I'll get the whip out if you're not careful"
"Ooh, now that is an exciting thought" he chuckles as we get up and walk naked back into the laundry room.
"Right all done, let's go and get some lunch" I say when we've finally finished the ironing and folded all the newly washed towels.
I'm just about to fetch my thong from his room when he grabs my hand and leads me upstairs naked.
"Come on, let's go naked, I love being naked"
Since everyone is out I agree and follow him upstairs to the kitchen where we make ourselves a sandwich. Whilst we are eating in the dining room, I hear someone opening the front door. Luke and I look at each other and grin.
"Whoever it is will probably go straight to their room" I say carrying on with my sandwich.
Suddenly there is a knock on the dining room door.
"Oh fuck" I whisper, and call out more loudly "Come in".
It is Ray who arrived the previous day. He's a nice guy in his fifties and took great delight in feeling me up at breakfast that morning.
"Sorry to bother you guys but I wondered if you could recommend a gay sauna; I note there is more than one in Brighton."
Without thinking I immediately get up exposing my full nakedness as I go to fetch one of the gay maps.
"Oh wow, now that is a lovely sight" Ray exclaims looking at my nakedness.
I grin at him and open up the map to show him which sauna I recommend. He moves up beside me and puts his arm round my waist and his hand onto my flapping organ.
"Mm, perhaps I won't bother with a sauna and stay here instead" he laughs.
Again without thinking I reply "That's extra".
"Oh, I never mind paying for it if you guys are up for it" he replies without hesitation.
Luke laughs and stands up to show off his nakedness as well.
"Oh fuck, two gorgeous guys" Ray exclaims as he looks at Luke's growing organ.
"Well, I certainly am, how about you James?" Luke says grinning.
"Not sure Ryan would approve of us having sex with the guests" I say giggling.
"Fuck Ryan" Luke replies, "He's not here so if Ray doesn't tell him we certainly won't"
"My lips are sealed" Ray laughs, "well until I get them round both your cocks that is!"
With that, Ray leads us up to his room on the second floor and we spend the rest of the afternoon having sex. Ray is a wonderful sucker of cock and he loves gobbling our balls and rimming our arse. He knows just when to stop sucking so that we don't shoot our load and when he sees we are ripe for taking, he gets both of us to fuck him whilst he's prostrate on the bed. Afterwards, Luke and I agree that Ray was a gorgeous fuck. He clearly looks after himself and we imagine goes to the gym since he has a fine body for a man of his age.
After two hours of continuous sex, Ray is flagging so we decide to give him a rest.
"Wow, that was some session" he exclaims, "thanks guys, I hope we can repeat that sometime".
"I'm sure we can" Luke replies for both of us.
With that, Luke and I pad up to the flat still stark naked and have a shower in our double shower. We kiss and cuddle and enjoy each other's company, as well as our bodies!
"One thing I need to do James is go to the sexual health clinic to be tested, I like to go regularly and it's almost six months since I last went."
I say that I too should be tested since I've not done so since I moved to Brighton.
"Let's go now" I suggest, "then I can buy the bin on our way back".
We set off to the clinic which is only about ten minutes walk away. We walk in and get seen immediately. Having had our tests and both shown up negative on the rapid tests, we go to find a waste bin.
"You want to stay in the flat tonight?" I ask Luke when we get back and I'm about to go up to change out of my clothes.
"Yeah, okay, if you're sure" he replies, "Sure Ryan won't mind?"
"What he doesn't know about and all that" I laugh, "It's nicer up there than in your basement room".
"True but I don't mind it you know, as long as I'm with you guys; it's certainly better than being back home with my fucking homophobic father!"
I put my hands round his shoulder as we climb the stairs, "Why is it that so many people hate us for what we are? All we want to be is the way we've been made, it's so fucking unfair."
"Don't get all philosophical on me James" he laughs, "you're too sexy for that kind of stuff".
I giggle and grab his balls with my free hand.
"Oh god, I do love you doing that" he laughs as we enter the flat and strip off yet again.
"Come on, let's go down to the Jacuzzi and have a soak before the boarders take it over" Luke says giggling.
I laugh and follow him downstairs. Neither of us bothers putting anything on!
