Halleluja!
Heat rushed into his face.
He pushed his chair back and went outside.
»Bad news?« Zoe called after him.
»No,« Tom breathed in, »I just got to go to the restroom.«
»It’s strange that Daddy loves to read his mail while shitting,« Anton said disapprovingly.
Tom entered the guest toilet and locked the door. Then, he put the bills on the window seat and opened Luca’s letter with shaking fingers. He noticed with surprise that this letter was not from Luca but from Elsenhauer.
Dear Tom!
I’m writing as a friend and manager of Luca...
Tom swallowed.
What does the word ‘friend’ mean? And why did Elsenhauer write to him?
Nervously, he continued reading.
Luca has gone downhill since we’re in Australia and so I make it my duty to call your attention to the fact that you’re urgently needed here as a trainer if Luca doesn’t want to commit a breach of contract. Please consider this letter as renewal of our contract. Kindly use the enclosed air ticket to rescue the shooting and its fighting scenes.
Sincerely,
Franz Elsenhauer
Confused, Tom read the letter a second and a third time. At last, he looked at the ticket which was fastened to the letter.
»Oh God, that’s already tomorrow!« Tom unlocked the door and went back into the kitchen. He had long forgotten the mails as he gave Zoe the letter.
Zoe read it and looked up, annoyed. »You’re not seriously planning to fly to Australia, are you?«
»Yes, I do.«
»Daddy, you can’t! The most toxic animals of the world are living in Australia,« Benno said, taken aback.
Tom disheveled his hair. »I promise you solemnly that I’ll pay attention.«
»The inland taipan is living there, too. That’s the most toxic snake in the world.« Benno looked worried at his father. »And the eastern living coastal taipan is even hiding in the gardens, Daddy, and it can get into the houses through pipes.«
»Don’t worry, Benno, I’ll take care. And apart from that, there are hospitals where I could get some antidote.« Tom smiled, but Benno slipped around on his chair. »The antidote has to be given quickly otherwise you’re dead. First, you got pain, then cramps and, finally, you can’t breath anymore and you’ll suffocate. You don’t even have half an hour!«
»Thank you, my son. This was a very impressive introduction into the world of the most toxic animals. Don’t worry! I’ll get out of their way.« Tom sat down again even though he did not felt like it.
God, he would see Luca again!
He was beaming all over his face.
Zoe noticed it, too. »Will you get holiday?« she asked bad-tempered.
Tom shrugged.
He did not care.
He was needed and he would go.
»I’ll talk to Hans. I’m sure I can bring forward my autumn holidays. At the moment, no colleague is ill or on holiday.«
Zoe made a face.
Even the kids were unusually silent as Tom got some yogurt out of the fridge.
Benno pushed his dessert away. »I’ll eat nothing. You must not go to Australia. There are sea wasps. One touch of their tentacles and you’ll die.«
»Zoe, don’t buy any books about animals anymore for our son, please,« Tom said half-jokingly. »He is seven and is worried like a seventy-year-old.«
Zoe frowned.
Even though, Tom was like a different person she was not thrilled at all that he would have fun in Australia.

»Mr Weidemeyer?« A young woman raised a sign with his name and smiled.
»Yes.«
»I’m Lucy. I’m here to pick you up.« Lucy tucked the sign under her arm and left the building together with Tom.
Outside, they were met by scorching heat.
Immediately, Tom sweated all over. His heart accelerated as he thought of seeing Luca again in a few minutes.
The jeep rumbled over the streets out of Sydney, across the Blue Mountains passing huge lemon plantations towards the interior.
»Are there eucalyptus trees?« Tom asked his guide.
Lucy nodded. »Shall we stop?«
Tom shook his head. »Thanks, but no, I guess there’ll be some opportunity to take a closer look at them.« He was much too nervous for a stopover.
They crossed the torn sandstone plateau of the Canyon and, finally, reached a flat valley. From a distance Tom saw a little tent city which stuck in the steak like a blob of fat.
Lucy parked the jeep and pointed to a tree.
»Over there is Luca. They’ve been practicing the fight scene since this morning.« She jumped out of the car and Tom followed her, but as soon as he was standing on firm ground he got the feeling as if his legs would give way. His heart pumped even faster as if it would run away.
Tom tried to control his breathing and wiped his forehead. He watched Luca from a distance and saw exactly why the fight scene could not be finished. Luca had a bent posture and, thus, could not parry the strikes correctly.
Tom slowly went to the shooting crew. When he was only a few steps away, he was stopped by Elsenhauer. »Tom! Great, you could have come!« He reached out his hand, scrutinizing him sternly. »Please wait a second until the scene is in the can!«
Tom raised his brows. »If he straightens his back and bend his knees, it’ll look like a fight.«
Elsenhauer looked at him questioningly.
»Tell him to straighten up!«
Elsenhauer turned and talked to the director who raised his arm. »Break!«
Luca and his fighting partner lowered their swords. The moment, Luca noted Tom he remained motionless and stared at him screwing his eyes up as if he saw a Fata Morgana.
Tom could not help but grin. His heart was swelling and, then, Luca threw his sword away and ran over to him. »Tom!«
The camera crew followed the spectacle but Luca did not pay attention to them and flung his arms around Tom’s neck, being over the moon. »You’re here!«
»Yes, I’m here!«
Luca let go of and grabbed Tom’s face. »It’s unbelievable! I thought you’ve already forgotten me. I’ve received no line and now you’re standing here, real and in color!«
Tom fished for his letter he has hidden in his pocket. »Here! I’ve been carrying it for days now.«
»Come!« Luca took his hand and fled from the curious eyes of the crew.
They ran through the tents and, finally, reached a few mobile homes at the end of the tent city.
Luca opened the last one and pushed Tom inside. He locked the door and took his hand again.
»You won’t believe how happy I am to see you, those days without you have been a torture.«
»Ditto.« Tom made a step towards Luca and got closer to his lips. He caressed his soft skin as if it was a sweet desert fruit and let his tongue slip into his mouth. First, they kissed tenderly, then, with growing desire, their hands running hungrily over their bodies.
Luca put off his pants within seconds while Tom needed a little longer. Then, they stood in front of each other naked and in full man’s glory.
Luca tenderly tipped one finger at Tom’s chest; he leaned forward and bit into his neck, wandered across his chest bone to the belly down to the hard-on which was already waiting willingly. Without a big foreplay, Luca swallowed it and put first one, then two fingers into Tom’s ass. He would have loved to crawl into him with his whole body.
Tom interrupted Luca and maneuvered him to the bed. He crawled over him, kissed him passionately and turned his butt to him so that Luca could continue where he had stopped before.
While Luca sucked at Tom’s dick, Tom gave Luca a blowjob. It did not take long and both of them hosed at the same time.
Overjoyed, Tom played with the sperm in his mouth until he finally swallowed it. Then, he turned and kissed Luca. But there was no sign of exhaustion. Once again, the desire grew up in them again.
Tom turned Luca on one side and penetrated sideways. With it, he massaged Luca’s cock thinking whether it was possible to fuck each other at the same time.
He stopped abruptly.
»What’s up?« Almost anxious, Luca looked at him with glazed eyes.
»Could two men screw each other simultaneously?«
Luca grinned. »Not without breaking their penis!« He stroke Tom’s back and penetrated while he gave him a hand job.
When Tom came to his orgasm, he moaned loudly with pleasure. A lot of juice has been pent-up for the last three weeks and, now, all the suffering blasted off him.
Luca took a little longer which caused Tom no less pleasure and so his wang swelled again. Luca turned round and let Tom climb up on him so that he could penetrate once again.
After their third orgasm, someone knocked at the door.
»Luca?«
»Franz!« Luca blew up his cheeks and let his head sank into the pillow. »Not now, Franz!« He added in a whisper. »We’re screwing each other and won’t do anything else for the next three weeks.«
Tom grinned. »Could be tough times.«
»I hope it’s gonna be hard,« Luca joked and waggled his brows. He threw himself into Tom’s arms wishing this moment would never pass.
»Okay, Luca! I’ll tell John you won’t continue shooting today.« Steps deviated from the mobile home.
Luca raised his head. »You’d better tell him that I won’t go on shooting anymore.«
Tom kissed him tenderly. »That would be stupid.«
»Why?« Luca asked surprised.
»Because then, there wouldn’t be any Luca-Steffen-eves,« Tom laughed. He pulled his noodle out of Luca’s ass and went to the shower cubicle. »Is here any water?«
»Yes.« Luca stood up. »God, my legs are shaking as if I had run a marathon.«
»Baby,« Tom popped his head out of the cabin, making a face, »that was even more than a marathon.«
»Don’t you have to run out after it?«
»Absolutely, otherwise, you’ll have sore muscles,« Tom answered and was pushed into the cubicle right away. »Then, I don’t want to postpone it unnecessarily.» Luca got hold of Tom’s ass and straddled the buttocks. Lecherous, he stuck his finger into his anus and moaned. »I want to fuck you one more time, Tom!«
»Gladly, but afterwards I’ll gush into your face!« Tom’s heart was in his mouth.
How would Luca react on this?
»But the full load, please! I suffer hardship of endorphin.« Luca rammed into Tom’s ass without taking his eyes off.
Tom bit on his fingers and withstood the temptation to jerk off. He waited until Luca had gushed inside him and, finally, gushed into his face.

»How do you look like?« Sandra turned her nose up, viewing her sister suspiciously.
Zoe sat in the café without make-up and badly combed hair, wearing her oldest worn-out clothes.
»Hi sis! I’m a very busy mother. I don’t have any time for fashionable trappings.«
»There’s a big difference between fashionable trappings and a cultivated appearance, love.« Sandra looked at her watch. »Come! The girls won’t be here before three o’clock. We’ll hurry to the Alsterhaus.«
Zoe rolled her eyes, but finally agreed. Sandra dragged her to the hairdresser, bought black sexy pants and a lilac-colored waterfall-shirt and let her put on some makeup.
Satisfied, she looked at her work. »You’re looking staggering!«
Zoe smiled modestly and took the arm of her big »And what do we do now?«
»Pamela and Biggi are waiting in the café for sure.« They looked at each other, then, Zoe whipped out her cellphone and sent them a text message.
They directly went to Sandra’s BMW Z3 cabriolet and drove to the Elbe.
»I’m overdressed for the ‚Strandperle’,« Zoe said looking down at herself.
»No problem. That café is not my thing anyway. Let’s go to Othmarschen. There are some really charming bars.«
»What do you think of this restaurant at the shipping landing place? What was its name?«
»No, we’ll drive to Othmarschen, sweetie! With some luck we’ll have something to look.« Sandra hurried up and twenty minutes later, they arrived. Among the hungry eyes of some uniformed riot policemen they got out of the car.
Sandra twinkled at one of them while Zoe bowed her head shyly.
Sandra gave her a dig in the rips. »Flirt around like mad! We have to pep up your self-esteem.«
Zoe smiled.
Deliberately provocative, they strutted past the police van directly into the garden of an ice-cream parlor.
They had just ordered a cappuccino as two policemen came to their table.
»It would be a great honor for us to be allowed to invite the lovely ladies to an ice-cream,« the taller one said.
Sandra played surprised and looked at her sister questioningly. »I’ve known that Hamburg’s police officers are very sexy, but I haven’t known that they are so charming.«
»Does that mean ›yes‹?« the younger one asked, looking shyly at Zoe.
Zoe nodded and blushed.
After all these weeks in which Tom was busy with himself, the interest of this extremely handsome man soothed her troubled soul.
Both men sat down and ordered four big sundaes.
»What do two charming ladies here all alone far away from the city in the middle of the week?« the older one asked.
Sandra grinned. »Catching police officers!«
Surprised, he looked at her. »Sounds good, sounds great to be exact. By the way, I’m Kim. And that’s my Co. Emiliano.«
»Emiliano,« Zoe said. Slowly, she came out of her shell. »That sounds Italian.«
Emiliano smiled sheepishly and nodded. »My mother is Italian.«
»And what’s your name?« Kim asked, taking his sundae.
»I’m Sandra and that’s my little sister Zoe.«
«Cheers, to a nice afternoon…Sandra,« Kim said and raised his sundae.
Sandra was surprised. »Have you already finished work? It looked more like a break for me.«
»Exactly,« Kim bent, »But if you stay here for a while after we’re going to have finished the ice-cream, we could protect you.«
»Sounds good,« Sandra repeated Kim’s words, »sounds great to be exact.«

Tom parked the rented car at the shore and left it. »What did you do that we have a whole day off?«
»Even an actor needs a break from time to time. John understood.« Luca pinched into Tom’s butt. »God, you’re so taut in these pants. I could have it off with you again.«
»No way, I can’t anymore.« Tom took hold of Luca’s hand and kissed it before he headed for the mangroves. »Look at this beauty!«
»I’m already doing,« Luca joked.
Tom turned around. »I was talking about these trees.«
»And I meant the trappings.« Luca put off his shoes and headed for the water. He trudged over the tree roots which cheekily peered out of the water and, finally, sat down on the thickest branch. »Do you take a picture?«
»I’d love to.« Tom whipped out the camera, took a picture and fetched out a map. »We’re here now. What do you think of driving to Townsville?«
»Actually, I’d hoped you would dive with me. The shoals shall be amazing.« Luca left the root to look at Tom’s map.
»Diving is not my thing. Despite the fact, that my ears are hurting then and I easily panic to lose my bearings, I’ve promised Benno not to go into the water where the dangerous sea wasps live.«
»You’re afraid of a box jellyfish?« Luca laughed.
Tom shook his head. »That’s not some jellyfish or other, my love! That’s the most dangerous jellyfish in the world. If you’re touching its tentacles, you’ll die. She is burning respectively poisoning you even through a Neoprene suit.«
Luca opened his »There you wonder, don’t you?« Tom laughed.
»I’m not staring at you b
ecause you’ve just saved my life.«
»Why then?«
»How have you called me?«
Flabbergasted, Tom sifted through his brain cells. He could not remember what he had just said next to his scientific digression.
»My love?« Luca beamed and hugged Tom. He leaned forward and nibbled at Tom’s lip. »My love?«
Tom moaned softly as Luca pushed his tongue into his mouth. »When you’re kissing me like that…,« he moaned again and felt his pants getting »I can’t think straight anymore.«
Luca bit into his nose. »My love?«
»Are you kidding me?«
»No.«
»You sound ironical.« Tom let go of, but Luca pulled him back into his arms. »It wasn’t meant like that,« he said purring.
»I’m sorry,« Tom interjected, »this term of affection just slipped out of my mouth. Is that effeminate now?«
Luca threw his head back and laughed. »You’re incredible! Why do you always think that everything which is warm and emotional is only due to women or queens? I’m a real man, I play football, I’ve scuffled as a kid, I fight with a sword,« Luca waggled his brows meaningfully, »I drink beer and whiskey, I’m vulgar to troublesome paparazzi, I have a fight from time to time, I eat meat, I can fuck well…«
Tom grinned. »So, can you do that?«
»Can’t I?« Luca asked a little stunned.
»And how much you can do it! I can tell you a thing or two about it.«
Luca breathed out. »What do you think of chartering a plane to fly to the Ayers Rock?«
Now, Tom was taken aback. »You’re crazy. That’s expensive!«
Luca took hold of his hand and pulled him back to the car. »I’ve heard there are real kangaroos, budgies…no sea wasps…«
»…but inland taipans,« Tom added impishly. »Cool idea, you can count me in!«

Half an hour later, they sat in a little sports airplane and fastened their seatbelt.
»I’ve just called John. The location for our shooting is going to be transferred to Western Australia the day after tomorrow. This evening, we can stay at a hotel, tomorrow, we can terrorize the neighborhood and then go to the location,« Luca called over the noise of the motor.
The pilot stepped on the accelerator and drove across the airfield.
