Everyone is over 18 years of age
The rest of our week at home went beautifully. We made love every day, trying our best to be quiet, so my family didn't hear things. We also spent time with mom and dad and my siblings, as John continued to endear himself to them. One funny thing happened when I went to do some food shopping mom wanted done.
I agreed to take my brother and sister, but John said he was chatting with mom, so he wanted to hang back. That seemed strange. I mean, I was glad they were getting along, but he'd rather chat with my mom than run errands with me? Well, okay.
So off we went, leaving the two buddies on the couch, talking (partly about me!) and laughing. I couldn't have asked for a better connection between my boyfriend and my parents, but still, when do people connect this well this fast? There was that John magic again.
We went off with our shopping list, and my sister finally seemed to have toned it down on all the teasing about John, which was a relief. My brother also had mellowed, but in another way. That is, he was adjusting to the new reality. "He seems really nice," Glenn offered. "I really am happy for you."
I knew I was very lucky to have a good, caring family. Now where would life take John and me?
We did our shopping and headed back home. As we got back and carried the groceries in, I heard it. That terrifying sound. I stopped just inside the door and said, "Mom, how could you? You're making him listen to The Carpenters?"
They both laughed, and John said, "It's fine. She [meaning Karen Carpenter, not mom] has a beautiful voice!"
I looked at him and said, "You were chasing girls six months ago, and now you're going to be one of those gays who likes The Carpenters?"
We all laughed, and he shrugged. "Well, they do have some catchy tunes."
I looked at mom. "Why? Just... why?"
And John looked at me and started singing, a bit off key, "Why do birds suddenly appear every time you are near...?"
I yelled, "No! Stop it! Stop it right now!"
And everyone laughed again. But damn, that was going to be in my head all day.
Mom asked if we got everything. "Yup. One stop, and we got it all."
"Good job!"
And we went to put everything away in the kitchen.
More domestic fun with John and the family. The rest of the week went by in similar fashion. We did get a little more city time, too, and also explored the island I'd called home, but before we knew it, it was time to head back to school. We shared hugs and kisses with everyone. As a last farewell, mom kissed John on the cheek and said, "I've loved getting to know you, and we're going to miss you." I said, "Gee, thanks, mom!" More laughter, and she said, "well, you, too! But I've had 18 years of seeing you." I laughed. "Again, thanks, mom. Really feeling the love."
She pinched my cheek. "Take it as a compliment, hon."
I kissed mom and dad and hugged the sibs before we headed out.
Making our way back to school, I couldn't help but think how just traveling with John made me happy. Sure, the sex was great, the way we joked around was fun, but it was enough to be in each other's presence. Being with him felt better than anything I'd known before.
We got back to school on the weekend with classes restarting on Monday, but we did have a little time to catch up with friends and have some fun. So that's what we did. Not partying, but we grabbed a bite and compared notes on our trips home. Our stories made for plenty of laughs, and, of course, some of our friends were teasing us about my family already planning our future. I said, "Yeah, John's not bad, but let's not get carried away!"
And he smacked me on the back of the head! The nerve!
So I kissed him. Which didn't do a thing to calm our friends down.
It was a fun mutual welcome back for all of us. And as the laughter wound down and we noticed it had gotten pretty late, we headed back to our room.
As soon as the door closed, we were in each other's arms. John said, "I think you said something at the house about taking it easy until we got back here."
"Did I? I thought you said that!"
He looked thoughtful. "Well, one of us did, and now we're back here!" and he hugged me even tighter and made sure I felt that monster in his pants pressing against me.
I made a lustful noise and pressed back, adding, "Suddenly, my legs feel lighter."
"Like you want to dance?"
"No, like I want to lift them in the air for my man and have him take me!"
And I got that trademark John growl. So fucking sexy!
He started kissing me and walking me backwards to his bed. When we got there, we stopped, and he pulled my shirt up over my head. Then we kissed some more. He was wearing a buttoned shirt, so I started undoing the buttons. When I got that shirt open, I pushed it back off his shoulders. Damn, those shoulders! So hot!
He said, "I like how you look at me. Have I ever mentioned that?"
"How do I look at you?"
"Well, you get this gleam in your eyes, like you're smitten."
"Guilty."
"I like it. I hope you see the same in my eyes, because I'm smitten, too!" and he smiled.
"But really," I said, "I bet when you used to sit in the lifeguard stand, you saw that kind of look hundreds of times a day." He leaned in, tilted his head and kissed me, gently at first and then deeper. Breaking the kiss, he said, "That's different. That's just empty lust."
"Take me to bed, hon, and take me!"
"You really need my dick, don't you?"
"As often as I can get it!"
And I really did. During the visit home, he did a lot of bottoming, but just being in his presence made me want to bottom. I needed him in me right then!
