February held other surprises for me as well. While I was able to see some of these coming, others caught me completely unaware. The first was that the boys wanted to have another Valentine’s Day party, but this was one of those things I kind of foresaw. They skillfully and diplomatically told me how much they enjoyed that special event the previous year, but then let me know that this year they wanted to do most of the planning themselves. They insisted they wanted to keep it as close to what we had done the year before, but they had some of their own touches they wanted to add this time around.
To their surprise, I had no problem with this request. I think they expected me to feel slighted about them doing it on their own, but since I felt I had used up most of my ideas on the first go around, I quickly agreed it would be better if they relied on their own suggestions this year. Once I consented, they immediately informed me they also wanted to select the menu, choose the music and take care of all of the decorating and other details too, so I gave them my blessings and stepped aside.
The couples involved with this were very busy, and I think they were intentionally keeping Vinnie in the dark about what was going on, so it would be more of a surprise for him. I only helped out when they came to me for a suggestion or to work out a problem they encountered, but for the most part this was their baby.
As the big day approached, I was glad to see they were responsible for 99% of the planning and execution of what was going to happen. They had drafted and sweet-talked their younger brothers into helping them again, serving as waiters and to be responsible for keeping the music playing, but I could tell those boys were pleased to be able to help out. As Valentine’s Day grew closer, everyone was a bundle of nerves and worried they had forgotten something important, but this was just the typical response to planning such a big event.
When Valentine’s Day finally arrived, everything became quite hectic. After helping the straight boys who had dates handle the little details before they went out to dinner, and then attended the dance at the school, Brandon came to me in a very agitated state. He was almost in tears as he asked me if I’d take him to the store to pick up some last minute items, things it seemed he had forgotten. It was nearly 4:30 already, and the dinner was scheduled to begin between 5:30 and 6:00, but Brandon was convinced he needed to do this, or the evening would be a bust for him.
“Pop, you’ve got to take me,” he told me. “Please? I’m too nervous to drive myself right now, but I forgot to get one CD with a song I want them to play for Danny tonight and I can’t find the card I bought for him, so I’ll have to get another one.”
“Calm down, Brandon. I’ll take you,” I assured him. “Come on, we’ll take the car and be back before anyone misses us.”
Before I left, however, I asked Vinnie to join us on this little excursion, so he wouldn’t see what the others were doing as they went about their preparations. This was something I had planned on doing anyway, since Kevin had asked me previously to find an excuse to get Vinnie out of the house for a while. Seeing this seemed as good an excuse as any, I asked him join me.
At first Vinnie seemed confused by my offer, since he had already purchased Kevin’s card and gift, but that soon changed. After thinking about this briefly, he decided it might be a good opportunity to buy something extra to surprise Kevin with, so he eagerly agreed to join us.
As we entered the store, Brandon decided he wanted to find the CD first, so we followed him over to that department and watched as he pawed through the various packages. However, he was having a great deal of trouble locating what he was looking for quickly. It was quite a few minutes before he finally put his hands on it, and then we had to pay for it there, before we went over to the card section.
The cards had been pretty well picked over by this time, so once more he waded through the various selections, reading each one carefully, until he found one he liked. While Brandon was pawing through the cards, Vinnie managed to find some sweets for his sweetie, a little something extra to make the evening even more special for them. Now that everyone had what they wanted, we went to the checkout to pay for our purchases. By this time, we had been gone for nearly an hour, and now I was worried about getting them back in time to get ready. Brandon seemed more relaxed now, even though he was going to be a little late for his date, so I guessed the relief he felt from finding those two items made him forget about the time.
When we walked into the house, I was the one to be surprised. Jake was standing there, all dressed up, holding out a single red rose, a card and a small package. Now, it suddenly occurred to me that Brandon’s ‘emergency’ had just been a sham, one designed to get me out of the house and catch me off guard. Kevin and Danny also stood there, all dressed up, holding out similar items for Vinnie and Brandon. However, judging by the look on his face, I think Vinnie was even more overwhelmed than I was.
I took the various items from Jake, put the rose in water, read the card and then opened the gift. It was a little brown teddy bear, holding a big red heart, and on the heart was pinned a handwritten note that read, “I wanted to make sure you had a spare, because I don’t ever want to lose you.”
Needless to say, this got me very emotional and all I could do was give Jake a big hug and a kiss. Now I felt bad, because I had only bought him a card and a box of chocolates, which would look somewhat hollow and superficial when compared to his gift. I also understood why the boys had decided to plan this event and had kept me in the dark, for the most part. I had never suspected they were planning on including Jake in on this special night. I thought it was solely for them.
When I looked over at Vinnie, he was hugging Kevin as hard as he could, but then he would smother Kevin in kisses, whenever he would ease up on the embrace. It was plain to see that Vinnie was becoming very emotional due to this totally unexpected surprise. Although he knew we were going to have a party, he had no idea how elaborate those plans would turn out to be.
Suddenly, we three broke away from our lovers and hurried to our rooms, so we could get cleaned up and changed, and soon we were re-joining the others, while noting that everything else had already been arranged. The boys began the meal with some appetizers. They had three offerings, which our little waiters passed around, so everyone could take a sample of each. There were two very large onion blossoms, with a horseradish sauce to dip it in, mozzarella sticks with a salsa dip, and little cocktail wieners wrapped in bacon and a biscuit. I caught the boys making some lewd and provocative antics with the wieners, licking them seductively and sliding them back and forth between their lips, which caused their partners to respond in much the same manner. This merely added to the erotic nature of their use and it was quite obvious what this might lead up to later.
Our little waiters were dressed in the same outfits they wore the previous year, but the garments appeared a smidge tighter on them this time around. However, this only added to the ambiance, so to speak.
The boys had also asked Jake to purchase some wine for the occasion, a sweeter one for them and a nice dry wine for us. As we sipped our gifts from Bacchus, or if you would prefer, Dionysus, the meal was served. Once again, this had been delivered to our home by one of the finer local establishments and they did a wonderful job.
We began with a nice Caesar salad, followed by jumbo stuffed shrimp and a pasta primavera. The food was very tasty and the boys had even ordered extra, to make sure everyone had plenty to eat. After we finished the main course, the meal was topped off with a very nice Crème de Menthe parfait. Jake told me later that this was designed to help cover the bad breath caused by the onion blossoms, in hopes it wouldn’t deter the possibility of a romantic evening for those who had indulged.
After the meal was completed, the room was cleared of furniture and the music began to play, but this year’s selections were songs I wasn’t all that familiar with, definitely a generational difference. The first song that was played was N Sync’s ‘This I Promise You’, from the CD that Brandon had found it necessary to run out and buy. Now everyone began to sway back and forth to this lovely song, while getting close to his partner so they could kiss or he could whisper sweet nothings in the other’s ear. Since I was unfamiliar with this particular song, I listened carefully to the lyrics and was quite impressed, once I made out what was being said.
‘When visions around you,
Bring tears to your eyes
And all that surrounds you,
Are secrets and lies
I’ll be your strength,
I’ll give you hope,
Keeping your faith when it’s gone
The one you should call,
Was standing here all along…
And I will take
You in my arms
And hold you right where you belong
‘Til the day my life is through
This I promise you
This I promise you
I’ve loved you forever,
In lifetimes before
And I promise you never
Will you hurt anymore
I give you my word
I give you my heart (give you my heart)
This is a battle we’ve won
And with this vow,
Forever has now begun…
Just close your eyes
Each loving day (each loving day)
I know this feeling won’t go away
‘Til the day my life is through
This I promise you
This I promise you
Over and over I fall (over and over I fall)
When I hear you call
Without you in my life baby
I just wouldn’t be living at all…
And I will take (I will take you in my arms)
You in my arms
And hold you right where you belong (right where you belong)
‘Til the day my life is through
This I promise you baby
Just close your eyes
Each loving day (each loving day)
I know this feeling won’t go away
Every word I say is true’
This I promise you
Every word I say is true
This I promise you
Ooh, I promise you…
After that song ended, the next one played was a sweet love song by LeAnn Rimes. As I looked about the room, I could see the boys holding each other tightly, some even singing the lyrics of this tune into their partner’s ear. As they danced they sang…
I don’t like to be alone at night
And I don’t like to hear I’m wrong when I’m right
And I don’t like to have the rain on my shoes
But I do love you
But I do love you
I don’t like to see the sky painted gray
And I don’t like when nothing’s going my way
And I don’t like to be the one with the blues
But I do love you
But I do love you
I love everything about the way you’re loving me
The way you lay your head upon my shoulder when you sleep
And I love to kiss you in the rain
I love every thing you do, oh I do
And I don’t like to turn the radio on
Just to find I missed my favorite song
And I don’t like to be the last with the news
But I do love you
But I do love you
I love everything about the way you’re loving me
The way you lay your head upon my shoulder when you sleep
And I love to kiss you in the rain
I love every thing you do, oh I do
I don’t like to be alone at night
And I don’t like to hear I’m wrong when I’m right
And I don’t like to have the rain on my shoes
But I do love you
But I do love you
But I do love you
But I do love you
The boys seemed to hang onto each other a little longer after this song ended and I saw a few kisses being exchanged during the interlude. It was so uplifting to see them enjoying themselves in this manner and not have to watch what they did or said, since they were in the privacy of our home. Here, they could enjoy each other’s love and companionship, while expressing themselves in ways they couldn’t do in public. It’s a real shame the world is like that.
My thoughts were interrupted when the next song began. It was also a pretty sounding tune, but as I listened to the lyrics, I wasn’t sure it was appropriate for tonight. It was ‘Fallin’ by Alicia Keys. Maybe Trey had suggested this one, to let Dion know how he felt from time to time in their relationship. I got this impression after hearing verses like this.
I keep on fallin’
In and out of love with you
Sometime I love ya
Sometimes you make me blue
Sometimes I feel good
At times I feel used
Lovin’ you darlin’
Makes me so confused
I keep on Fallin’
In and out of love with you
I never loved someone
The way that I love you
It came to me that these lyrics might be Trey’s way of expressing what it was like to have to deal with Dion swinging both ways and enjoying both sexes with equal relish. I may be wrong, but that was the impression I got once I’d heard it.
The next song was nice too, ‘God Must Have Spent a Little More Time on You’ by N Sync, as it featured some nice lyrics like…
I never thought that love could feel like this,
Then you changed my world with just one kiss…
How can it be,
That right here with me,
There’s an angel,
It’s a miracle
After that, we all danced to several other songs, including ‘Cruisin’, by Gwyneth Paltrow and Huey Lewis; ‘Don’t Laugh at Me’, by Mark Willis and ‘Turn Out the Lights’, by Nelly Furtado. The boys seemed to have a wonderful time, but I know for certain that Jake and I did. When the final song ended, those who were left began to head to their rooms for some private time together. I said ‘those who were left’ because I had seen various pairs slowly disappearing for the past half hour or so. I was certain that tonight there would be a considerable amount of lovemaking going on, not just sex, and we wouldn’t be seeing any of these boys again until morning.
I think Danny and Brandon were the first to slip away, because I noticed them making their way up the stairs and toward their room while the rest of us were still dancing. I discovered later that Danny had a special surprise for Brandon and he talked him into going to their room early, so they could have some privacy. Once they were alone, Danny handed Brandon a small box, which Brandon opened hesitantly, because he was unsure about what was going on. Before long, he was staring at a very expensive man’s gold band, inset with a diamond, and he looked up at Danny, while trying to formulate what to say. However, Danny did it for him.
“Brandon, this is my way to pledge my love for you and let you know that I am committing myself to this relationship completely. I’m also asking you to spend the rest of your life with me. Are you willing to accept me as your partner for life?”
Brandon was in tears at this point, since he hadn’t been expecting anything quite this special. Seeing he was too choked up to speak, Brandon merely nodded his acceptance, which made Danny beam in response. When Brandon finally regained his composure and was able to respond, this is what he said.
“Danny, you know I’ve always planned to, you know, spend my life with you, but I really didn’t expect anything like… like this,” he stammered, while gazing at the ring. “I love you so much, Danny. Of course I want to be your partner for life.”
Once this had been agreed upon, they began to kiss and hug each other, while slowly moving the action over to their bed. Each was thoroughly enjoying these precious moments of being alone with each other. They must have continued on like that for a half hour or more, before they helped each other get undressed and moved to the next level of lovemaking.
This time, Brandon took the initiative and was able to arouse Danny first, by using both his lips and tongue to stimulate as much of his lover’s body as he could. Then he used his mouth to make sure that Danny was completely hard, before Brandon turned and lifted his butt erotically in the air, wiggling it seductively in the process. Reflexively, Danny took this as his cue and did what he felt he had just been invited to do. Once Danny was fully inside of his partner, he began a slow steady rhythm, making sure each of them enjoyed this very special ride.
While Danny was slowly and passionately making love to his soul mate, he was also alternating between running his hands over Brandon’s back and chest. He was working hard to stimulate those areas as well and make the overall effect as pleasurable as he could. After many minutes of this slow, seductive ritual, Danny deposited his love deep inside of Brandon, and then they took a slight rest, before they continued.
It wasn’t really a rest, merely a chance to kiss and snuggle a bit, before Danny returned the favor to Brandon. Willingly he gave himself to his lover, in much the same manner as Brandon had done for him. After paying attention to all of Brandon’s other needs and stimulating those places that made him feel so good, Danny laid on his side, and lifted one leg up, slowly pulling it toward himself. This was done to allow Brandon easy entry. In this position, while Brandon was stroking his poker into Danny’s hot interior, the pair could continue to kiss and do much more than just having sex. Obviously, they were not about to hurry or race through this, because they wanted to savor every wonderful moment of this night before it ended. Brandon’s juices were already flowing freely and coating his erection, thus eliminating the need for artificial lubrication.
Once he had entered Danny, they made slow, passionate love. After Brandon reached his climax and spewed his seed inside his partner, they continued to hold on to each other for the rest of the night and remained as close as two bodies could possibly get, without becoming one.
Down the hall, Trey and Dion had also slipped into their room, but they weren’t ready for the magic to end either. They were both more than satisfied with the evening and where their relationship stood at this particular moment, and although Dion still had occasional trysts with female partners, he had also attempted to make it perfectly clear to Trey that they would be together for life. Although Trey wasn’t totally happy with these brief affairs and they probably hurt him in ways Dion couldn’t fathom, he understood it was probably best not to push the issue and jeopardize his future. He was convinced Dion was going to remain true to his word, so he was willing to ignore these brief flings to appease his lover.
Now, after all of the tender kissing and touching that had occupied their time on the dance floor and aroused them completely, they finally were alone in their room. Immediately they undressed each other, before Trey took his position on the bed, pulled his legs up to his chest and offered Dion the ultimate prize. Nearly drooling at the sight, Dion quickly moved into position and worked his long slender rod inside of his true love. Over the course of the next many minutes, the duo made mad, erotic love to each other. Since Dion knew what Trey liked best, he reached down and grasped Trey’s organ and slowly stroked it to the same rhythm he was using while sliding in and out of his love canal. He did this so they could come off together, in one powerful explosion. When Dion finally reached the point of no return, and emptied his love inside of Trey, as Trey erupted too, spewing his juices between them – cementing their love for each other.
In another room, Nick and Shannon were doing a repeat of Shannon’s first night with Nick, but from what I heard later, Nick was not the aggressor this time. It was Shannon who made all the moves and suggested what they could and should do. Somewhat uncharacteristically for him, Shannon took charge once they were alone and managed to subdue the usually assertive Nick. In fact, I also came to understand that Nick seemed to enjoy the role reversal and being the pursued, instead of being the pursuer, so possibly this relationship might turn out differently than the others. I don’t think any of us counted on that happening, though, especially Shannon, but he did manage to make the most of his evening. Not only did he enjoy making love to Nick and then having Nick make love to him in return, but he also seemed to revel in the closeness they shared as a result of it.
However, as you might suspect, those boys were not alone in their after party activities. At some point, Kevin and Vinnie also disappeared and made their way to Vinnie’s room, which was located on the first floor. Kevin was a perfect gentleman and made sure he didn’t move any faster than Vinnie wanted, mainly due to the fact that he didn’t want to scare Vinnie off or otherwise lose another lover. After undressing Vinnie and helping him onto the bed, Kevin slowly showed Vinnie all the erotic spots the body had to offer, before he prepared both of them for even more.
With Vinnie lying prone and his erection covered in latex, Kevin straddled Vinnie’s hips and lowered his body down until his love canal swallowed up Vinnie’s penis. Now that he was in position to do so, Kevin gave Vinnie his first lesson in the wonderful pleasures of male-to-male intercourse. This proved to be a bit more than Vinnie could handle, and he quickly surrendered to the warmth, tightness and other wonderful sensations that now engulfed his entire being. That’s the reason it didn’t take long before his loins exploded and his body shuddered from the most powerful orgasm he could ever remember having. From that moment forward, he lay as limp as a rag doll on the bed, while enjoying the wonderful afterglow that resulted from losing his virginity.
Once he’d recovered, Vinnie made sure to get Kevin off too, but he did him orally, since he wasn’t sure he was quite ready for anything more than that. However, each of them was satisfied and happy concerning the way things had turned out. Therefore, they spent the rest of the night in each other’s arms and content with this new arrangement.
I also heard that our four waiters spent the night together in one room, now that they were fully inspired from watching everything that went on during the evening. They helped bring each other off a couple of times before they went to sleep too, although it was all done either manually or orally, but they each of them got a good workout before it was over.
In fact, Sammy didn’t even do anything with Andrew, and instead allowed both Graham and Cole to take turns bringing him off instead. Sammy spent time with each of them too, while knowing that he and Andrew would have plenty of opportunities later. I was pleased to learn that the boys had all gotten along so well.
And yes, I know you’re curious about my evening as well. Once we were sure that everyone was safely tucked in for the night, including the straight boys, Jake and I also shared some special time together. After apologizing for not being as thoughtful about the holiday as he had been, I tried to make up for it. Although he insisted it wasn’t that big of a deal to him, I allowed him to make love to me, with us both getting off in the process. Even though we might not have had as much energy as the boys, we did enjoy ourselves and had a wonderful time alone. We continued to bond even more closely than we had up until this moment, and we both knew this was going to be a lifelong commitment – truly until death do us part.
I’ll have to remember to thank the boys tomorrow for that wonderful evening and their thoughtfulness in bringing Jake up to speed on what they had planned, so he could follow suit.
