Forced Out of the Darkness

by Jackson Jr, G. Wayne

  Monti’s strong hands bathed Cameron in his entire splendor. As he pulled Cameron into his chest, he took his large hands and cupped Cameron’s ass while at the same time putting his tongue in Cameron’s mouth. They allowed their tongues to dance together. Cameron tasted Monti and Monti tasted Cameron. Monti walked Cameron to the wall of the shower as he kissed and held him. He lifted Cameron off of the shower floor and Cameron wrapped his legs around Monti’s waist.

  Monti took the opportunity to suck Cameron’s pierced nipple. He sucked it and licked it as he felt Cameron pull him into him. Cameron kissed Monti’s baldhead as he held onto his neck. Monti refused to allow the other nipple to be neglected so he took time to give the other attention. Cameron’s response to the attention turned Monti on even more. The steam from the shower intensified the heat shared between these two lovers.

  Cameron’s body was Monti’s playground and he intended to play on every swing, every slide and make sure to leave no part neglected. Monti let Cameron down as he kissed him more. He licked Cameron’s neck and down his torso. Cameron’s sex was standing at full attention when Monti grabbed his balls and licked the head of Cameron’s full salute. Cameron instinctively grabbed the back of Monti’s head as he began to skull fuck his way to climax.

  Monti pulled and tugged on Cameron’s balls while stroking his own thickness. His intent was to milk Cameron dry to make up for last night’s interruption. As he continued to suck Cameron’s manhood vigorously, he felt him swell thicker as he began to choke. He knew that Cameron was close to climax. He grabbed the base of Cameron’s engorged sex and focused on his sensitive head. Cameron moaned as his head rested on the shower wall.

  Monti didn’t stop. Cameron’s leg began to quiver as he braced himself on Monti’s shoulder. Cameron’s flat stomach tensed up, preparing for the imminent release. His breathing became shallow as he said, “Don’t stop.”

  Monti continued to taste Cameron’s pre-cum straight from the source as he continued to expertly use his tongue and sucking skills to control Cameron. Cameron’s voice became deeper as he thrust his sex into Monti’s talented mouth. “Oh, Shit…I’m cumming.” He said as his sex shot out its sweet protein into Monti’s mouth.

  Monti got the gift he was waiting for as he tasted Cameron’s nutt. He continued to stroke his thick manhood as he buried his face in Cameron’s slightly hairy crotch. Cameron rubbed his head, and said, “Go ahead and let it go. Give it to me.”, as he approached climax. Within a few seconds, he was spilling his sex juice on the shower floor, as his body shook. Cameron watched as the shower water took Monti’s cum down the drain.

  Chapter Fourteen

  J umping to Conclusions

  “You have a good day at work.” Cameron said as he pulled his covers tight to him. He was completely drained, literally and figuratively. Cameron had the luxury of getting back in the bed after their morning shower.

  “I will call you when I have a break. Ok?” Monti asked as he leaned over and kissed Cameron again.

  “Ok. I am looking forward to it.”

  “Bye.”

  “Goodbye.”

  At 9:30 am, Monti was headed to work. He was in a happy headspace, he was relaxed and it showed. Today, he had a glow about him. It was immediately noticeably. “I met a sexy ass guy and this is going to be the one.” Monti thought. He pulled into the driveway of work at 10:00 am on the dot. He only had to work 4 hours today so that helped with the excitement. Throughout the day, Monti could not help but to smile, because he knew that his life was changing and this time he felt that it was changing for the good. He hungered for companionship and something inside him felt that the void in his heart was beginning to be filled. He thought the demons of his past were losing their grip on him, but he had yet to do his work to address the root of his problems.

  Monti always second-guessed himself when good things happened to him. He did not think that success in love was in his future. Due to all the failed relationships Monti had, he did not think that he would be able to keep Cameron. He didn’t take responsibility for his part in the infidelities or the fact that he was stepping out long before Yolanda ever did.

  About a year ago, while Monti worked in construction, he realized that he was feeling empty and lonely. To fill his emptiness, he would search out men or women for lunch quickie sessions. In any given week, he would try to fuck his loneliness away. It didn’t matter who the person was, male or female he wanted to get his dick wet and empty his jewels. It did not matter whether it was unprotected or not; he convinced himself that he needed sex. Sex became his addiction; however he didn’t receive anything in return. He did not care where he got his fix from, anywhere from the local ‘gay’ Palmer Park in the bushes or at World Wide News through the glory holes. After his conquests, Monti still felt empty and he didn’t know why.

  Today, however, was different. Monti did not have the urge after work to make any stops. The only urge he had was to call Cameron to hear his sexy deep voice that made James Earl Jones envious. He picked up his phone and dialed Cameron’s number. After four rings the voice mail picked up. Monti ended the call without leaving a voice message. He dialed the number again and no answer. After calling a fourth time with no answer, Monti was pissed. “Who the hell is he talking to that he can’t answer my call?” He said to himself. “He must be messing with someone else.” A flood of emotions came over Monti. He did not know why he felt this way but he knew that he had better talk to Cameron soon.

  * * * * *

  Cameron was at Oakwood hospital getting his Hepatitis vaccination. He looked at his watch and knew that he needed to hurry up because he was meeting some friends out for happy hour. He didn’t want to be late for happy hour but because his airline was now flying to India, he had to get vaccinated so that he could experience that part of the world. He finished getting his vaccinations at the doctor’s office and returned back to his car. As he pulled out of the parking lot, the missed calls started to register on his phone screen. Cameron began to worry when he noticed that Monti had called him several times back to back. He didn’t know if something was wrong and Monti did not leave any messages.

  Cameron called Monti back and the phone rang and went to voice mail.

  “Hey Monti, this is Cameron. I see I missed some calls from you. I was in the doctor’s office and did not have reception. Call me back when you get the message. Is everything ok?” Cameron didn’t know what was going on but hoped that whatever it was, Monti was ok. Cameron wondered why Monti didn’t answer but for whatever reason, he must have been busy or could be studying. Cameron was not the jealous-type so he just left the voice message and headed home to change clothes for happy hour. Something in Cameron was uneasy about the missed calls, but he chose to dismiss the thoughts and proceed with his day, liquor and flight attendants go well together. Cameron was enjoying his time off…in a couple days, he would have to put on his charm and serve his passengers while flying over the Atlantic Ocean.

  * * * * *

  “The nerve of him to call and leave me a message as if nothing was wrong.” Monti said as he paced the floor of his apartment. “I know he was fucking around on me.” His insecurities were speaking for him. He didn’t rationalize that they had just had sex in the shower this morning, so sex was probably not on Cameron’s mind. Monti, you got to get it together and call him back, he reasoned with himself.

  “Hey Monti.” Cameron said as he answered his phone. “Sorry about missing your call. I was getting my Hepatitis vaccine. You know how hospitals are, I did not have reception. How are you? Is everything ok?”

  “I am ok.”

  “You had me worried about you. Are you sure that everything is ok?”

  “Yes, everything is fine. I just was trying to talk to you and see how your day was and let you know how my mine was.”

  “Oh ok…did something happen?”

  “Cameron, I’m sorry. I should not have called back to back like that. Do you forgive me?”

  “M
onti, there is nothing to forgive. I just thought something was wrong and it scared me a little. I am about to change clothes and head out to happy hour with some friends. I can call you on the way home, if you like?”

  “Sure that is fine.” Monti replied feeling defeated. He wanted to see Cameron again tonight. He wanted to sleep through the night and he wanted to feel loved and needed. “I really wanted to see you again today.”

  “That’s cool. Let’s play it by ear.” Cameron suggested.

  “What time do you think you will be finished with your friends?” Monti asked.

  “Happy hour goes until about 9:00 pm. We will be there till then…I generally don’t stay all night. I should be home by 9:30 at the latest.”

  “Cool have fun and enjoy your friends. I’ll catch up with you later.”

  “Sounds good. Bye.” Cameron said.

  “Maybe I can surprise him tonight at home.” Monti thought.

  Chapter Fifteen

  U nexpected Company

  Cameron went in the house and did a quick change…he made sure to brush his teeth first because he hated the mixture of toothpaste and liquor. About fifteen minutes later, he was back in his car and headed to Friday’s. Yes, this restaurant was a ghetto one that had security guards, because the patrons often fought, but the drinks were strong in large part due to the bartenders liking to talk and not pay attention to what they were doing.

  Monti had something else planned for this evening. He had time to get himself together and make a few stops. He knew that things were going faster than normal for him especially after meeting Cameron. He had to see for his self if Cameron could be trusted. He had met others and knew that they were full of shit and there for the sex. Monti was so broken that he did not recognize that the demons he held within were the same ones that he tried to project on others.

  After a few hours of laughs and good drinks, Cameron was ready to head home. After paying for his drinks, he wished his friends a good night and headed to his car. Once in, he called Monti to let him know that he was on his way home.

  “Hey Monti. I guess you are sleep. I know you wake up early. I am heading home. I will talk to you tomorrow. I guess you will get this in the morning so I hope you slept well. Good night.”

  Cameron was almost home but he wanted to stop and get something to help suck up the liquor. He got a couple White Castle burgers and a coke. As he was driving home he put on Destiny’s Child’s final studio album Destiny Fulfilled. He loved the last two singles Cater 2 U and Girl. The lyrics in this song really struck a chord with Cameron. When Beyoncé said “If I Need to Reassure You, My Life Would Be Purposeless Without You,” he knew that he never wanted to be purposeless. He wanted his life to have meaning and purpose but he did not want to be single. To Cameron, it made no sense to be on top of the world, to be successful in life and in career and have no one to share that success with. He hated going home alone and hugging his pillow at night. He didn’t want meaningless sex with guys all over. He wanted something substantial at home. He did not want his love to be in pieces, he wanted to be whole when he found his mate.

  When he found the right one, he wanted to give his heart wholly to that man. He did not want to hand him a piece of his heart and have to go and retrieve pieces from the guys that he fooled around with. Yes, Cameron knew that he just had an orgasmic night with Monti but that was different. That was a needed release and it ended with the two connecting on a deeper level, so Cameron thought. Monti was an interesting guy and Cameron’s inquisitive nature wanted to know more about this man. What was that darkness in his eyes…what had he been through? Who hurt him so badly that he held tension in his shoulders and neck? These are all the things that Cameron identified earlier that morning when they were in the shower together as he washed Monti’s massive back.

  Cameron was deep in thought that the sounds of Destiny’s Child took a secondary position to his thoughts. Cameron was on autopilot. Cameron drove around to the back of his townhouse to park in the garage. He pushed the automatic garage door opener as he came around the corner and drove right in as he always did. He closed the garage door and got out the car.

  He came in the house through the garage and immediately went up the stairs. Once he got to the top of the stairs, his phone began to ring. After the third ring, Cameron picked up his phone and answered it.

  “Hello.”

  “Hey sexy, what are you doing?”

  “Nothing much. Just got home. I called you a while ago but you didn’t answer. I didn’t know if you were sleep so I left a voice message and came home.”

  “Do you have company?”

  This was an interesting question and it made Cameron’s mind check back in. “No. Why?”

  “Because I was just wondering. Is anyone coming over tonight?”

  “Where is this questioning coming from?” Cameron pondered before he answered. “No, I am tired and ready to head upstairs to go to bed.”

  As Cameron made it to the second stairwell, he heard the doorbell ring.

  “Hold on, someone is at the door.”

  “I thought you said no one was coming over?”

  “Hold on a second. I don’t have plans for anyone to come over.” Cameron said.

  “No problem.”

  Cameron set the phone on the counter and went back downstairs to see who was at his door. It was 9:45 pm and Cameron did not have any plans so he was not sure who could be at the door.

  “Who is it?”

  “Open the door.” Said a voice on the other side of the door.

  “Who is it?” Cameron asked a more annoyed than the last time. He looked through the peek hole and to Cameron’s surprise, there stood Monti smiling on the other side of the door.

  Cameron opened up the door and asked, “What’s going on?”

  “I did not want the day to come to an end without seeing you.” With that, he pulled his hands from his back with a dozen of fragrant red roses and said, “These are for you.”

  The twinkle that came to Cameron’s eyes as he smiled, was all that Monti needed to see. He knew that Cameron was happy. Cameron took the roses and smelled them.

  “I just wanted you to know that someone thinks about you often, Mr. McNeil.” Monti said as he was preparing to get back in his Jeep.

  “You came all this way to bring me flowers and then leave?”

  Monti came through the door; his head almost hitting the doorframe because he was so tall, took Cameron into his arms and kissed him passionately. There was Cameron again, standing in his foyer, speechless.

  “I wanted to do something for the man that has done so much for me. You will never know how you have changed my life. I know we have only physically seen each other for only four days but I feel like I have known you for a lifetime. I have not been able to sleep for months. The first night I met you in person, I slept the whole night. The next night, when we were apart, I slept ok but I could feel the sleeplessness coming back. Last night, I slept so well I felt that I could run a marathon. I just wanted to say thank you.”

  “Man, you did not have to do this, Monti. I appreciate it, truly I do.”

  “Yes, I did.”

  “Thank you again. Let’s go upstairs.”

  Cameron and Monti went to the bedroom and turned on the television. They watched TV for about fifteen minutes when Cameron’s phone signaled a text that came through. Cameron looked at his phone and closed it. “Who texts at 10:30 at night?” Monti thought. His insecurities were getting the best of him again. All kinds of thoughts were running through his head. “Was he supposed to be meeting someone tonight?” “Were they supposed to be coming here?” Monti was going to lose it when Cameron gave not response to it. He had to think of something to say.

  “Are you going to leave those flowers out all night?”

  “You know, you are right. Can you excuse me while I run downstairs and get a vase to put them in?”

  “No, no problem.” Monti responded. This was the opportunity that
Monti needed to put his mind at ease. As Cameron, got out the bed and went downstairs, Monti got up and took his phone. He opened the phone and searched through the messages. There was this message from this Kat named Marcus. It simply said, “had a great time, hopefully we can do it again soon.” “Who the hell was Marcus and why was he texting my dude?” Monti thought. “Is he cheating on me already?” Monti decided that he did not need competition so he deleted the text message as he heard Cameron coming up the stairs. Monti’s thoughts started to get the best of him as Cameron returned to the room with this lead crystal vase.

  “I hope that these flowers last till I get back from my trip on Saturday.”

  “Did you put some Aspirin in the water? They say that makes them last longer.”

  “Hold on, I have some in the bathroom.”

  Cameron came back and put some Aspirin in the water and set the flowers on the dresser.

  “I know you have to be tired, you have to be up early in the morning. You are staying here, right?”

  “Yes, I can do that if you promise to help me sleep tonight.”

  “I thought you told me I already did that?”

  “Yes, you do. I just wanted to make sure you were game for that.”

  “Oh yes, I can handle mine.” Cameron said as he took off his clothes and got into the bed. Monti followed suit. They fell asleep. The next thing they knew the sun was peeking through the windows and kissing them both on their face.

  Monti got up and was happy to have had another night with Cameron and he didn’t have the nightmares that disrupted his abilities to sleep peacefully. Monti went to the restroom to relieve his full bladder and came back to kiss Cameron on his forehead. He knew he had to get his clothes out of the car and get to work on time this morning. It was getting close to the time where he would have to leave to be at work on time. Cameron opened his eyes and Monti was mesmerized again. “Damn, those eyes are gorgeous even with sleep in them.” Monti thought. Monti ran down the stairs to get his work clothes out the car and came back.
