Chapter: 117.******Easton watched his every move intently. His movements were precise and elegant yet at the same time they appeared graceful, his fingers deftly moved along the grapes as he twisted around them, it reminded him of an experienced gardener and he wonders if Michael is capable of doing such tasks with ease. Suddenly he turned and met his eyes, Easton averted contact and looked around them instead. "This place is beautiful." He remarked softly."Thank you," Michael responded quietly. "But it's not always that simple. You see, beauty is at times a treasure trove and as with everything beautiful it also comes with its challenges.""Do you see me as a challenge?""No..." He walked over to a grapevine and plucked a pinkish-white grape off it. I see you as a challenging distraction.""Not just challenging but also a distraction." Easton frowned.Michael reaches out and takes his hand. "Trust me, it's a compliment... here, try a grape.""Aren't you going to feed it to me?" E
Chapter: 118.******"Right. That's it... we are playing a game." "Games? Interesting. What kind of game?" Easton leans back against the blanket and rests his head against his palm with a slight smile curling his lips."I knew from the moment I first laid eyes on you that you were going to keep me on my toes.""Go on then, give me a taster of this epic game of yours," Easton demanded innocently. "Let us discover what you can dish out."The man smirks. "Ok," Michael responds amused, and takes a sip. "Here goes nothing... First question: who taught you to dance?"Eaton giggles. "Well, I did learn a lot of lessons from my father.""How many lessons was he giving you?""A hundred or two maybe. I lost count after the third time." Both men let out a burst of comforting laughter. "Well, I never learned anything from my father, if anything I was his enemy, I don't blame him I would be my own enemy if I did what I did to my folks.""Tyrant," Easton muttered under his breath and Michael smack
Chapter: 119.*****Matthew woke up first to the sound of singing birds and a grumbling stomach. He peered one eye open and signed while he stretched tired muscles, his movement was restricted when he felt the body curled into his. A smile tugged at his lips as he propped himself up by the elbow to take a better look at his sleeping Lover. Alexander was still very sound asleep, looking like he had just dropped down from the heavens straight into his bed. Even in sleep, he looked handsome, with hair sticking out every which way, his face scrunched up slightly and his eyebrows furrowed. He was adorable. After taking a moment to take in all that beauty, Matthew reached over and ran his fingers through those locks of hair, careful not to disturb him.He could have just stayed in bed forever, just watching him sleep like that, but his stomach let out another growl, reminding him that it wasn't going away any time soon. With a sigh he gently kissed his lover's forehead, and carefully extrac
Chapter: 120.*****Alexander must be very tired seeing that he still sleeps until now. It's what he wanted, a smile gracing his lips as he crawled his way up the bed to the side of his still sleeping Lover. Slowly Matthew began to tug the sheets away from his naked chest until it had slipped off completely exposing his kiss-marked chest, Alexander tossed that time and Matthew had to seize his movement then resumed once he had settled down, he took the rose and slowly began to trace it along the lines in his lover's stomach, from his lower half up until he reached his now smiling lips, with eyes still closed Alexander smiled at the tickling sensation spreading fast across his body, his stomach quivered as he felt the sensation spreading across his naked belly, he chuckled softly and Matthew smiled as their eyes met. "Hey," He whispered in the most tender tone possible, Alexander opened his eyes fully to gaze into those wicked steel blues, he remembered them changing colors the previo
Chapter: 121.*****Matthew began pumping his finger into his lover and Alexander groaned, a second finger joined in and the sensations intensified within him. He pushed himself upward harder, his breathing ragged, Matthew kept his pace slow and steady. "Matthew!" He called louder but the name had barely made it from his lips when he felt the third and fourth fingers fight their way through. "Aahhhhhh!" He screamed and bucked up hard against Matthew's fingers and it was all too much. Alexander felt a sharp pain in his lower stomach and he knew his climax was imminent. Just when he thought he could take no more, Matthew released him with a final thrust, gasping against his lips. His lover's hand retreated from his throbbing sheath and a frown took over his expression in an instant but a gasp shortly followed when he saw Matthew ripping his shirt off his body and then tearing his pants away shortly after. Upon seeing his glorious naked form, Alexander ripped what was left of the sheets
Chapter: 122.*****Matthew laughed quietly and hugged Alexander tighter, closing his eyes for a few moments, he didn't want to move just yet because his body was still sore and he wasn't sure if he could walk without cramping, maybe a few minutes of rest would do the trick. When both lover's opened their eyes it was to starvation. Alexander scrambled out of the bed and fell twice on his way to the set table, while Matthew fought to settle his leg muscles as he too raced toward the table, each giggling like little kids as they neared the table. Alexander grabbed a mug and pressed it into chapped lips, he drank the cold coffee greedily and groaned with eyes closed. Once he had finished the coffee he met Matthew's eyes and smiled. "The coffee is cold..." He muttered between giggles and shrugged then reached for a tartine next.Matthew laughed and shook his head while nursing his own cold coffee. "Would you like me to get DuBois to heat them all up and perhaps make us something else?" H
Chapter: 123.******Adam moaned when he felt his Lover's thrust increasing in pace, and was met with a slap on the butt. He turned to face him, eyes open but not focusing as he tried to fight against the pleasure that was taking over his body. His lips moved, forming words, but no sound escaped them. Only a groan of satisfaction left his mouth. When he looked at Lorenzo again, he saw him looking back at him with adoration written all over his features."Good boy," Lorenzo whispered to his lover, reaching out and touching their foreheads together. "I love you, and I'm going to make you scream my name until we both can't breathe anymore.""Yes, yes," Adam mumbled incoherently, "Oh God, please." His hips bucked forward and Lorenzo's cock slid into him. "That feels so good!""You're so tight, babe," Lorenzo said softly.Adam had to admit that it was hot when he could hear himself talking. The room was filled with nothing but sounds and sweat; the two were wrapped up in each other, locked
Chapter: 124.******Adam scoffed. "How do you even know that Michael will agree to that?" Adam asked, annoyed again. "He is a selfish prick, he never cared about anyone but himself!" "Because he loves that little girl," Lorenzo answered calmly.Adam threw his arms into the air in frustration. "That's insane!" He cried. "The Michael I know never loved anyone but himself, he doesn't even like kids that's how bad he is!" "Maybe the Michael you knew then." Lorenzo countered, crossing his arms. "Michael may not have liked kids then but not now, he's bonded with that little girl so much he would not want any harm to come to her." Adam scoffed. "Why am I finding this so hard to believe? In case you have forgotten this is Michael fucking Clayton we are talking about, I was one amongst eight models invited to his island that year, and in the three weeks we spent with him, four of us me included, fell head over heels in love with this man, but he wouldn't give us as little as a second glanc
Walking side by side, both men stride down the stairs ever so gracefully, beaming smiles on their bright faces, with eyes twinkling with delight as their faces met those of men and women employees standing in wait and bowing slightly for a small nod from them before turning back to their workstations and working diligently, all except one who seemed to be more than a little preoccupied. She didn't seem to notice them until Easton tapped her softly on the shoulder and the little girl turned and immediately began to run into her father's waiting embrace. Alexander went on his knees and hugged his growing beautiful little lady, picking her up and twirling her around, both father and daughter's laughter rang throughout the house like the sweetest melody. His smile was genuine as he set his daughter back onto her feet and looked up to acknowledge Easton who was standing beside Michael and wearing a contagious smile on his handsome face. Alexander approached him and both friends clasped han
Chapter: 151.******The sweet sound of Alexander's groan of pleasure filled the air, his eyes closed and he clutched desperately at the bedsheets as if he would fall if he didn't hold onto the sheets as tightly as he did. He panted heavily as he tried to catch his breath, his eyes fluttering open and closing rapidly as a rush of adrenaline flowed through his veins, leaving him a painting mess. When he finally opened his eyes to face the scene before him, he was met by that mesmerizing blue gaze staring back at him, drenched with intense lust and arousal. Matthew could see how flushed and a mess Alexander looked, how he was sweating buckets, he also noticed how dark the color of his eyes seems to be. Like a storm ready to break loose at any given second, the way they sparkled and glistened with satisfaction, with lust, with desire. Oh, Lord. His whole body was trembling in the aftermath of that amazing orgasm, his breath heavy and unsteady, the sounds of the waves echoing in his ears,
Chapter: 150.******Matthew slowly pushed the bedroom door open and very carefully stepped into the room. He glanced toward the bed a few distances away then turned to the other side of the room and slowly began to walk to the sitting area where he proceeded to place the tray of food on a table. He glanced over his shoulder to make sure the occupant in the bed is still asleep before beginning to set up the dishes for breakfast. He placed them in the center of the small dining area along with two bowls of cereal. As he reached up to grab two forks he paused, when he heard that soothing voice."You can't possibly be after that kind of food when the perfect meal is lying in wait for you," Matthew hissed with a smile then gently returned the forks and turned around to face the bed where his lover now sat exposed, a lust-filled gaze burned deeply into his, and Alexander's naked body lay perfectly entranced as if it were waiting for Matthew to join him again, and he did just that. Inching
Chapter: 149.*****"I can't believe you're getting married," Lafayette said into the mirror where Alexander's face stared back. He was helping him get ready, while Easton stood in front of him adjusting his tie as always. A smile made its way across Alexander's lips but he didn't say a word. He still feels a bit hungover from last night. They had all dragged him around the city, dressed in a red bridal gown and massive makeup. He dragged the gown everywhere and it weighed a ton, his arms still hurt, then they made him tease dance in the clubs, did shots after shots, dared him to give Easton a lapdance then they made him eat some really weird food, going up against it wasn't an option and so he endured through their wicked idea of a bachelor party. They ended up leaving at dawn with no one sober, he barely got two hours of sleep and today is his wedding day and not to mention he hasn't seen Matthew in exactly twenty-two hours, thirty-four minutes, and six seconds, he was going crazy i
Chapter: 148.*****The two elderly couples stood side by side, watering cans in their hands as they carefully watered their prized flower plants when they spotted the flurry of automobiles pulling into their little home. Slowly they both turned and stared ahead as the first car drove in and parked, a man in a black suit exited the car and made a turn to the other side to open the doors. When they saw their son step out of the vehicle they couldn't be happier, dropping the cans they both hurried over to welcome him. Once Alexander came down, a smile so bright made his face even more handsome and he was running into their embrace just immediately. They hugged for a good while and when they pulled apart, Alexander bowed and greeted his father and mother then turned around to introduce the newcomers. Both parents smiled when they noticed the little angel that looked exactly like their son and they knew without a doubt that they were staring into the eyes of their granddaughter. Maria had
Chapter: 147.******As if knowing where Matthew would be, his legs carried him and he walked, taking fast pace, leaving the others behind. And when he got there, the little tree stood there and by the side was Matthew giving a hug to a stranger. A frown blew over his face and he groaned at what he was seeing. Knowing, neither twin appreciates close contact with anyone only made his anger more profound."I swear to god, Matthew, if you do not stop hugging him, I am personally going to cut your balls off and make an omelet out of them then feast on it beside your bleeding corpse!" He announced angrily, his voice rattling the leaves on the trees. The stranger gasped and pulled away from Matthew and bolted the other way. Alexander walked closer and stood in front of Matthew. The same spot he stood on when he crushed his foot with textbooks years ago but Alexander was too angry to acknowledge the significance of where they stood at that very moment. "Really?!" Alexander snapped, his voi
Chapter: 146.*****He didn't want to believe Matthew had left, without congratulating him, without a kiss, he didn't even wait for the ceremony to be over. Was it work? Was there an emergency? He left without any of his men. How is that even possible? Maybe he was still in the toilets. Maybe he's locked himself in. His mind went over a million and one scenarios as he ran, sprinted even, the sounds of his heels echoing in the empty halls, eyes scanning every corner and by the time he reached the men's rooms he had started walking faster than a normal human being can walk, his steps were heavy and fast. As soon as he reached the men's room he slammed the door open, startling the poor guy inside, who looked shocked at Alexander's sudden entrance but Alexander didn't seem bothered by his hateful questioning glares rather he pushed past him, running straight for the stalls and yelling for him."Baby, you in here?" He would ask with each stall he invaded. His lungs burned from lack of oxyg
Chapter: 145.*****Five Years Later And Graduation Day.******Alexander stared at his reflection in the mirror. The dress shirt was tucked neatly into his pants, the black tie hanging loosely around his neck. His hair was brushed neatly but not slicked back as he did most days, a few strands falling in front of his face. It made him want to run his fingers through it, tuck it behind his ear, but that wasn't happening this time. He was graduating. No matter how many times he'd practiced this in his mind, his eyes still felt glassy. This was it. Four years ago when Matthew surprised him with the news of him getting back to school, he didn't know how to react to the news. They had just settled, Tide had left, and he was starting to get close to his daughter but none of that could compare to the fact that he was getting back to school. Matthew was making his dreams come true, one at a time, his goals coming together. He took a deep breath, looking down at his watch and seeing it was 9:0
Chapter: 144.*****Tide lay on his bed, blinking slowly with a charming smile spread across his face. After he left Alexander in the hands of Matthew, and Atana's SoulPearl willed to him, he returned home. Aquarial remains as he left it, beautiful, and peaceful. Sea creatures moving around in every direction, Aquarial has always been so colorful, every Mer, every fish, down to their houses, high and small, all bore colors so beautiful as never seen on the Lands. But, it was late when he arrived so he went home, and slept. Tomorrow he will visit his mother first, then Neptune. And when morning came, he took care of his duties, beaming brightly as he collected spells and potions, realizing just how much he has missed his life under the Sea. But, words travel fast in Aquarial, Soulbutterfies crawling around the streets at night had seen him return and they spread the news to their owners. Tide didn't finish his spells when his mother came bargaining into his private room, yelling for h
