~Volume Four~

Where is she? Jacob yelled as they rushed into the Emergency Room. Dylan looked around and found a nurse who was sitting on a bench and jogged up to her with his friend. Jacob looked at the nurse, who seemed bored, and asked again. Where is she? Where is my friend Lucy Smith? She was brought in here with a gunshot wound.

Are you family? The nurse continued to thumb through the magazine that she was reading. Her eyes slid ever so slightly to the men and then returned to the page of the magazine. Only family is allowed to see anyone in the ICU, that’s Intensive Care Unit. If you aren’t family, then I suggest just waiting in the waiting room because you won’t be allowed to see your little friend.

Listen. I have power of attorney, so I suggest you put down the magazine and help me. Or at the very least point me in the direction of someone who will help me. Jacob tried to steady his voice but the anger seeped in. His fist was at his side, shaking. Dylan wanted nothing more than to comfort his friend and assure him that everything was going to be okay, but he wasn’t sure how to approach. Well? I know that you want to get back to finding out where Elvis is hiding but you could put that magazine down for thirty seconds and direct me.

That way. The nurse pointed towards a hallway that was full of elevators. Dylan moved between Jacob and the nurse in the hopes of avoiding a physical attack from either of them. He drew a deep breath and squared his shoulders. It was a trick that he had learned at work to make himself seem more intimidating, more powerful.

Listen I realize that you are on break and that this might be a bit inconvenient for you but could you please use your words to tell us where we might find our loved one? She looked up once again from her magazine, ready to yell, but when she saw Dylan, her face softened. Her eyes went over him one time very fast and then a second time much slower. On the second go around, she seemed to be taking everything in. Please just tell us where to go. We are both very worried about our friend. We need to make sure that she is alright.

Go down the hall. Make a left just before you get to the radiation wing. There’s a small waiting room right there where friends and families of ICU patients wait. She looked beyond Dylan to Jacob. The frown returned to her face and her eyes narrowed on him. He better have proof that he has the power of attorney because some choices may have to be made and they will need to be made fast.

He does, and he will make those decisions as soon as we speak to the doctor. Dylan felt Jacob put his hand on his shoulder. The nurse smiled at them and returned to her magazine. Thank you! Thank you so much.

The men took off in the direction that they had been told. Neither speaking but each knowing what was on the others mind. Lucy. She had brought them together in a way that most women would not do, and she had loved them both unconditionally. When they reached the Intensive Care Unit, Dylan found an uncomfortable chair and sat down. He watched as Jacob asked for the doctor, wishing that they had never gone to the Bathhouse. His thoughts were interrupted by Jacob speaking to him, saying, Thank you for dealing with that nurse. I would have punched her and ended up in jail. That would not have done any good for anyone, especially Lucy. Lucy. I can’t believe that she was shot.

If we hadn’t—

Stop. There is nothing that we can change and even if we could, there is no guarantee that we could have stopped her from being shot. You know that Lucy always does whatever she wants, and this was no exception. Unfortunately this time she got herself in trouble. Jacob smiled at him as they took their seats on the uncomfortable chairs. You know something? Being at the bathhouse tonight, all I could think about was you. I wasn’t into the men I was supposed to be having the three-way with at all. All I kept thinking about was you.

You were on my mind too. The sex with my therapist was nice, a little out of control for my taste, but nice. But I kept thinking about you and how you always take care of me, how you take care of everyone. You’re proving it right now by rushing to Lucy’s side without even knowing what she needs or what happened. Dylan smiled as Jacob patted his knee. It felt right. What do we do now? I mean, I don’t want to hurt Lucy but I don’t see how we could ever get back together after everything.

Right now, let’s focus on getting through this. If something happens to her, we’ll either bond even more during the grieving process or it’ll tear us completely apart. Jacob sighed, pain filled his eyes. Dylan knew instinctively that if Lucy died that there was no way they would be a couple. He placed his hand on top of Jacob’s and sighed. I know that it sucks right now but she does need to be our focus. She’s my best friend, the closest person that I have to family. If anything happens to her, I just don’t know. I couldn’t handle it.

Nothing will happen to her. She’ll wake up and want to screw her doctor. I promise you that Lucy is a fighter. She will come out of this and be as strong and crazy as ever. His heart ached as he spoke. Before he realized it, tears were falling from his eyes. You know, I did love her. I never meant to hurt her the way that I did. I just, I don’t know, it’s weird. As I explored being with men, after making love to you, I found myself less and less attracted to her. Then her shenanigans started and they really turned me off. Yet there was always a part of me that loved her, that wanted for her to be happy.

We talked about that. She knew that you would never end up with her, at least not fully. There was a point, before you began exploring your sexuality, where she thought about dumping you. It was the same thing that you are dealing with. She loved you but was feeling unfulfilled. That’s when I suggested that she take you to the porno theatre and see what happened.

*****

She’s going to live! Jacob whooped again as they headed for the car. The doctor had come in as they were reminiscing about some of the crazy stunts that Lucy had pulled. The good news was that she was going to live but she would be in the hospital for quite a few days. When they got to the car, Jacob pulled Dylan to him and pressed his lips against the other man’s. After they pulled away, Jacob chuckled, And you, you making eyes at the doctor. Didn’t you get enough of your therapist? What is it with you and the medical profession?

Well, you know, I could be a stay at home wife if I landed a doctor. Jacob laughed again. Once they were both seated, he leaned over and kissed Dylan again. Instinctively Dylan’s hand travelled up the pant leg of his friend and rested on his cock. Of course, being with you would have its perks too.

Now that we know she is going to live, we need to figure out what we want to do. I would love to be with you but I won’t hurt Lucy in any way. The men smiled at each other and kissed again. It was as if each of them knew that everything would work out but they didn’t know how. When they pulled away from each other, Jacob took the hand of his lover. You know, I wish that I had met you first. I’m not saying that none of this would have happened but at least then the guilt wouldn’t be so bad.

Guilt is something that Lucy doesn’t believe in. She says that if something feels good then you should do it. If someone else has hurt feelings, then that is their fault, not yours. As if a lightning bolt hit them, they looked at each other and grinned. Dylan squeezed Jacob’s hand to make sure that they were on the same page. Lucy wouldn’t care if we were together because that’s not her way. She would be happy for us. Her feelings might be hurt for a minute but then some hot guy would distract her and everything would be fine again.

That’s what I was thinking too! I mean, I still want to be cautious but it does seem to me that she was only upset because she caught us and we didn’t tell her. If we went to her, after she felt better of course, and told her that we wanted to try and be together, I’m sure she would be fine with it. He pulled the car to a stop at a red light. Dylan released his hand and moved his hand on Jacob’s cock again. What are you doing? You can’t tease me like this, and we can’t do anything in public. People could see us.

Since when are you scared of people watching? Ever since I’ve known you, you’ve gotten off on having people watching you have sex. Hell, just a few hours ago you were having a threesome practically in public. Dylan grinned at the man in the driver’s seat. His words were teasing and not accusatory, the way they would have been in the past, with Lucy. What would Lucy do? He wondered to himself. Inspiration hit him, and he fondled the zipper on Jacob’s pants. After he pulled it down, he reached into the opening and pulled out the hard cock that was waiting for him. And here I thought you were afraid of being caught.

Before Jacob could answer, Dylan removed his seat belt and bent his head down low. He licked the head of the cock, slowly at first. He then ran his tongue along the shaft. He took the head into his mouth and tasted the pre-cum that was leaking. He swirled his tongue around the head again and was rewarded with more of the semen. Another quick flick of the tongue across the head caused Jacob to moan his approval.

Smiling to himself, Dylan took the shaft into his mouth and down his throat again. Jacob put his hand on the back of his lover’s head and pushed down gently. When Dylan resisted, he did it again a bit harder. He tugged on the hair of the other man, gently at first, then a bit rougher. He pulled the car to a stop and the man in the car next to him looked over. His jaw dropped when he saw Dylan’s head bopping up and down.

The car peeled away when the light turned green and Dylan increased his rhythm, up and down. He tightened his lips around the warm, pulsating cock. Jacob’s hands travelled down Dylan’s back to his butt, where it rested until he moved it back to the steering wheel.

Dylan sat up and realized that they had arrived at Jacob’s house. They both got out of the car and as they walked up to the front door, Jacob grabbed Dylan’s ass. Then he growled into Dylan’s ear, I am going to fuck you so good that you won’t be able to walk for a week.

When the lock clicked, Jacob pushed the door open and pulled Dylan in. He pushed the other man against the door to close it and pushed his lips against his partner’s. As their tongues met, they wrestled. Jacob pulled his shorts off along with his underwear, then pulled away from the kiss and tore off his shirt. Dylan followed suit and took off his clothes, and moved closer to Jacob.

Electricity shot through Dylan’s body as Jacob ran his tongue over his right nipple, and then his left. He gently chewed on each one, making Dylan weak in the knees. Jacob then used his tongue and licked all the way down his lover’s taut body, only stopping when he reached the seven-inch cock that was waiting for his attention.

When Jacob’s lips wrapped around his cock, Dylan lost his breath. He had never felt a mouth that was so warm, so soft, and so eager to please him. He felt all of the blood in his body rush to his dick, and all he wanted in that moment was to bust his nut. He closed his eyes and let the feeling of lust take him away from everything.

Just as he was about to orgasm, Jacob stopped giving him head. Before he could protest and beg Jacob to let him cum in his mouth, the other man turned him around and bent his knees a little bit. Then Jacob fell to his knees and buried his face in Dylan’s ass.

Dylan moaned as Jacob’s tongue went into his hole. A warm sensation spread through his body as it did every time that Jacob ate his ass like this. As Jacob pushed tongue into and pulled it out of the hole, he began stroking Dylan’s cock. Both men were breathing heavy; each of them waiting for that magical moment of orgasm. As Dylan drew close to that moment, Jacob suddenly stopped. You don’t think that I’m going to allow you to get off before I do, do you?

Jacob hauled Dylan to the couch and laid him on his stomach. Automatically, Dylan lifted his ass into the air as if inviting Jacob to fuck him. His paramour took the invitation and quickly pushed his cock into the warm, inviting hole. Dylan winced as the thick cock made its way into him, half an inch at a time.

After he had taken Jacob’s dick all the way into his tight hole, Dylan began matching the thrusts and pulls of his top. As Jacob pulled out, Dylan thrust his ass up, causing the cock to slide back in. When the cock was pushed in, he brought his ass down. After Jacob had almost had enough of that little game, he held Dylan’s hips and continued to do what he had wanted to. Like a piston, he began pounding the hole. He knew that his lover liked it that way.

Oh, God! Dylan moaned as his sweet spot was found. Jacob also let out a few groans. Once again both men were growing closer to their desired goal. The moment when their body would connect in a way that would bring them both pleasure. Both men knew that the other was getting closer by the way they were reacting, the way that the moans were growing deeper and more frequent.

Jacob nuzzled the neck of his bottom, biting the skin gently. Chills went down Dylan’s body; the stubble that Jacob was growing tickled. Once again his friend bit the skin on his neck, using his tongue to please even more. The sensation was almost too much for Dylan to take. He felt his orgasm rising but he was afraid that if Jacob knew, he would stop what he was doing and deny him the satisfaction of releasing it once again.

Then he felt the same warm, wet feeling that always indicated that Jacob had orgasmed in his ass. That caused his own cock to spurt out its orgasm, shooting everywhere. As the cum rushed out of his cock, he felt as if all of the energy was being sapped from him. He finally collapsed on the couch, onto his puddle of cum, as Jacob went to get a washcloth to clean up with.

He lay on the couch, his mind numb from the sex he had just had. Nothing else mattered to him in that moment except letting his body rest and his mind take a break from all of the drama that had been surrounding him. Lucy being shot. His confusion about his sexuality. Everything. He closed his eyes and let the blackness surround him.

Jacob walked back into room and cleared his throat. When Dylan looked up at him, he was taken aback by the fact that the man was still naked. There was not an ounce of fat or hair anywhere on his body. Something inside of Dylan unfurled in his mind and he finally admitted. I’m not straight. I’m bisexual. I’m a bi man.

*****

He came out! Jacob exclaimed as they walked into Lucy’s room. Her room was filled with balloons and flowers from well-wishers. Dylan followed him in, awestruck at all of the gifts that had been sent into her. Tell her Dylan, the way you told me.

Can we say ‘hi’ first? Ask her how she is feeling? You know, normal greetings, not ones that pertain to my sexuality. Dylan smiled at Lucy, who seemed smaller to him. It could have been the blankets that she was wrapped in, or it could have been the bed, which seemed to be larger than the one they had shared.

When have we ever done anything traditional? The three of us could be the poster children for not doing things the way so-called normal people do. I mean, hell, I was shot going to a female strip club with some lesbian friends of mine. She let out a little chuckle and the men followed suit. After they all had quieted again, she looked between them. Seriously, I walked into this titty bar with Grace and there was man, pissed because his lap dance didn’t last long enough. When the bouncer came after him, he pulled out a gun and shot. I happened to be in the way of one of the bullets. Luckily it missed my heart but I’m going to have a scar on my chest.

At least you’ll have a cool story to share with people. I mean, hell, you can almost make up anything and people will believe you. Jacob grinned at his friend. Lucy pulled the hospital gown down just enough to show them the scar. It ran from the top of her neck to the middle of her breasts. Luce, have you called anyone, you know, from your family? I made all of the decisions but one of them should probably know that you were hurt, that you are in the hospital.

I don’t want to talk about that, or them, right now. I want to hear about Dylan. I mean, he finally came out? This is big! Very big! I never thought that the day would come when you would admit to being anything but straight, She smiled at him.

Everything that they had been through had been building to that moment, Dylan realized. He closed his eyes, wishing that the right words would suddenly pop into his head and both Lucy and Jacob would think that he was brilliant. "I want to hear you say it, Dylan! As the one who has encouraged you and been by your side throughout this
