An Unexpected Gift

by Brandon Carlisle

  "Yes. First a cruise, and then crab cocktails on the wharf, followed by lunch at The Hungry Hippo."

  He remembered. Living in the city it was something I always wanted to do, but we never got around to. Parking at a lot on the wharf we headed to the ticket booth. The next cruise was about to board and there were plenty of seats up top as tourist season ended with the beginning of the school year.

  I understood why he recommended a jacket once the boat took off. It was windy on the bay and I felt the chill right away. The cruise took us towards the Golden Gate Bridge, past the Marina, Fort Mason, and the Presidio. The view from the bay was breathtaking, and the breeze picked up as we headed under the Golden Gate Bridge. Driving across the bridge was impressive, but as we went under it, it took my breath away. The complexity of the structure as we listened to the guide tell us of how it was constructed filled me with awe.

  We circled back, and passed the artistic community of Sausalito, and Angel Island State Park, before approaching Alcatraz. You could see the decay from exposure to the elements with the crumbling concrete and the rusted structure. Even though it opened to tourists a few years ago, I had no desire to visit. It was just too depressing.

  Except for his heading inside for two hot chocolates, Isaac was by my side or holding me in his arms, keeping me warm and safe. Once we returned to the pier, he took my hand in his, and led me to a stall selling fresh crab cocktails. I found I was hungry and devoured the cocktail of rich crab meat swimming in a spicy sauce.

  We lingered on the wharf enjoying the tourist shops and the show the sea lions gave on a small floating dock. It was refreshing and romantic. Isaac knew this was what we needed after our hectic few months. There were no regrets bringing Andy into our lives, but we needed this time alone.

  "So, what are we going to do now?"

  Slipping his fingers in mine he kissed me on the cheek. "Well, if you're still hungry, we can head to The Hungry Hippo."

  The Hippo was famous for their imaginative hamburgers and colorful atmosphere. They were similar to Hamburger Mary's, but toned down, and on a larger, more commercial scale.

  "We're going out for dinner later, right?" He nodded. "Then let's go home. I want to thank you for a lovely morning and afternoon."

  He pulled me towards the parking lot. "Let's go!"

  CHAPTER EIGHT

  A Change of Pace

  Isaac

  I couldn't get home fast enough. Every stoplight seemed like an eternity, and when the traffic slowed, I wanted to lay on the horn. When we reached our front door, Sebastian pressed against my back and I felt his erection pushing against my ass. It had been a few months, but that firm flesh against my backside gave me the idea it was time to change things up.

  This would be the first time since Andy arrived in our lives where we didn't have to watch ourselves. Abby was out as well so Sebastian and I could scream our heads off and other than our neighbors on either side, no one would notice, and we couldn't care less.

  Pulling him through the door by his belt I slammed the door behind us and dragged him to our bedroom and spun him around. His face was flushed and his eyes went wide as I straddled his hips giving him a feral grin. I pulled his shirt off and dove for the sensitive spot just behind his right ear as I licked my way down his neck to his right nipple, scraping my teeth until I heard the low moan I was waiting for before letting out a low growl. "I want you to fuck me." My body covered him as I pulled my face up and looked him in the eye. I saw the desire and excitement I hoped for. We didn't switch often but today I wanted this gorgeous man to possess all of me.

  Catching me off guard he rolled me on my back and pulled at my shirt. "Off! I want to see you naked." He stood at the foot of the bed and stripped so fast, tossing his clothes on the floor. I watched him in amazement. His erection at full mast, surrounded by his pale bush, let me know how much he wanted me. It was a sight to behold, and it was all mine. I must have zoned out because I heard him yell at me, exasperated. "Hurry up!"

  It didn't happen often, but I loved it when his dominant side showed. I threw him a mock salute. "Yes sir!" I Pulled off my shirt and the rest of my clothes, tossing them on the floor, lying back with my arms and legs spread wide, a grin on my face.

  He stood there, staring at me on the bed. "God, you are so gorgeous."

  "Well, what are you waiting for?"

  Sebastian broke out in a grin as he watched me. Leaning over the foot of the bed he slid my legs together and climbed on the bed to straddle my hips. "I'm going to make you beg for me to fuck you. I will worship your body from head to toe. Every inch of you will be touched by me, kissed by me. When I am done, you will have the best orgasm of your life." His eyes were filled with mischief and I knew he was right.

  He suckled my left nipple, and I groaned before he swept his tongue to the middle and under my chin to tease my lower lip. My mouth opened in anticipation as he swept along my jaw line teasing me. He plunged his tongue into my mouth and devoured me with such passion I thought I might come then. His hands held my head firm and then drifted up my arms until he held my wrists tight before pushing them up to the headboard. "Grab hold." When he let go of my wrists, I loosened my grip.

  "Wait, don't let go." He got off the bed and went to his armoire. When he returned, he had several of his silk ties. "I had a brilliant idea. For now, and then maybe for later…, if you are up to it." He winked at me. Waving them in his hand, he smiled. "Are you game?"

  If he couldn't tell by my dick twitching, he must have been blind. "Can't you see my little friend?" I nodded at my stiff dick.

  He laughed. "Honey, I can see it. But that is not little."

  He went about tying my hands to the headboard, but my feet to the footboard with extra slack.

  When he finished, he sat on my chest and grinned as he clapped his hands together. "Oh boy! Fun time!" I couldn't help it and laughed.

  He gave me a quick kiss on the lips and said he loved me. The humor left when he pulled at the hair on my chest with his teeth and nibbled on my right nipple. When I moaned, he chuckled and moved to the right one and mumbled, "Equal treatment." Running his fingers down my sides he, reached my cock and cupped my balls with his left hand while reaching lower between my cheeks with the other.

  Sebastian sat up and wet his finger before teasing my hole. He stroked my cock with his free hand and I couldn't stop the words. "Baby… baby… enough play, fuck me."

  "No way, handsome. I haven't begun to show you how much I appreciate your thoughtfulness."

  He slid down the bed and I felt his lips glide over my crown before he engulfed me to the root as he pushed his finger inside me while he played with my balls. "Fuck! Sebastian!"

  Once I caught my breath, I pulled myself up and tilted as much as I could to look down. "That's my hungry man." He was smiling, and I collapsed back against the bed. I felt my legs being lifted and let out a gasp as I felt the wetness of his lips before he swiped at my asshole with his tongue.

  "Gawddd!"

  He laughed. "I'll be your god anytime if you keep acting like this."

  I felt his wet finger enter and lost it. "Now! Fuck me now!"

  "If you insist. But first I have to untie your ankles." Once my ankles were free, he grabbed the lube from the nightstand and moved back between my legs. Sebastian lifted my legs over his shoulders before squeezing a generous dollop on his fingers. Slicking himself up he squeezed another liberal amount on his fingers and loosened me up.

  He was taking way too long. "Fuck that. I'm ready now!" It had been a while since he fucked me, but I couldn't wait. Lining himself up he pushed. I tried to push back but the restraints on my wrist held me back. "Dammit! Untie me!"

  He stopped and pulled out to untie my wrists. "Boy, you can be a real bossy bottom."

  Once he untied me, I grabbed his hips. "Shut up and fuck me." I tried to look pissed and failed, instead giving him a grin. Lined up once more he eased in as I held tight and slammed myself against him. I hissed at t
he burn and stayed there until I adjusted once again. "Now! Fuck me, Sebby!"

  He slammed into me reaching a steady rhythm in no time. It was perfect. Within the first few strokes he was hitting my sweet spot, and I knew I would have to choke it or I would lose it right away. "Yes! Yes, baby! Oh god. It's perfect." No one ever made me feel this way. The connection, the belonging. Count backwards. Think of work. Squeeze it back. Just hold on... shit! "Sebby, I don't think I can last much longer. Sebby…, oh shit…, oh my god! Sebby!"

  When I looked at him, his eyes were squeezed tight and then his mouth opened wide. "Isaac, I…, I…, I'm going to come!"

  I felt him come inside me and my body spasmed as my release spilled over my chest. My heart was pounding as I screamed out his name at the top of my lungs, "Sebastian!" Shocked at my outburst I tried to catch my breath.

  Sebastian was bracing himself above me and looked down at me in surprise. I reached up to wrap my arms around him and he collapsed on top of me and burst out laughing.

  "God, Isaac. You feel so good, and you sure can be loud."

  "As great as this was, I hope we can do it later again tonight."

  "I'm glad I'm not the only screamer in the family." He whispered in my ear before placing a kiss against my cheek.

  "Well, you don't fuck me into the mattress every day. I had good reason."

  We were a perfect match in the bedroom with my being a top and Sebastian a bottom. We reversed roles once in a while and enjoyed it. This afternoon was different. Now I wanted to switch more often.

  Nuzzling my neck, he moved up to my ear and whispered. "I think we can do this again later, if you're not too sore." He pinched my ass.

  If I were a religious man, I would have believed my prayers were answered. "Let's see how my ass feels when we get back here later. If not later, definitely before Andy gets home." Rolling over so we were on our sides facing each other. "How about taking a nap before dinner?"

  *****

  I snuck out of bed to make a few calls while Sebastian snored away. When I joined him later, he rolled over and threw his arm across my chest. The clock told me we had an hour and a half before our reservations so I decided to give him a pleasant wake up call.

  I lifted his arm and slid halfway down the bed. His flaccid cock telling me it needed loving attention. Massaging his balls with my fingers I slipped him in my mouth and sucked him. It wasn’t long before he was firm between my lips and he rolled on his back with a soft moan. Wetting my index finger, I continued to suck him as I parted his legs, sliding my finger between his cheeks until I reached that sweet, warm rosette. I massaged his hole, and he responded by pushing his hips downward. I listened as his moans grew louder and felt his hand on my head pushing me downward.

  “Damn, handsome. I’m almost ready.”

  I smiled to myself and picked up the pace. As his muscles tensed up, I pushed my finger deeper inside him and he shouted my name. Sebastian shot his load down my throat and collapsed into the mattress.

  “Wake me up like that anytime.”

  I licked him clean and looked up to find him smiling down at me with the warmest expression. “Now will you come up here and kiss me?”

  Climbing back next to him I gave him a sloppy and tasty kiss. “We need to clean up. Reservations for dinner are in less than an hour and a half. Dress is upscale casual as they would say. Nice, but no tie required.” I pinched his nipple and jumped out of bed, racing for the bathroom and calling over my shoulder as I laughed. “Shower time!”

  *****

  Bruno’s Trattoria was in the Western Addition, though there was valet parking I was always hesitant to have anybody but us drive Betty. We parked half a block away. “Leland recommended this place. He says they have the best veal parmigiana in town.”

  “Now I’m hungry.” Sebastian slid his hand around my waist as we approached the entrance.

  When we walked in the door, the host approached us. “Browne, we have a reservation for two. I requested a booth.”

  “Of course, Mr. Browne. My name is Miguel. Right this way.”

  We were led towards the back to a secluded booth. As we walked through the restaurant, it looked as if it had been here since the turn of the century. Dark paneling, red leather seating, and brass light fixtures dominated the room. I saw Mayor Moscone sitting with several men at one table and the columnist Herb Caen at another. Leland was right, this place was known for its food, and its clientele.

  Once we were seated Miguel gave us our menus and informed us our server would be David, and to enjoy our meal.

  Sebastian placed his menu on the table. “I don’t need to look at the menu. You know what I want.” He slid his foot along my leg. “Besides you,” he winked.

  “Good evening gentlemen. My name is David, and I will be your waiter this evening. Would you like to order a beverage?”

  Sebastian’s head popped up at that moment. “David?” He looked at the young waiter and I saw a smile spread across his lips. “It is you.”

  The young man looked confused. “Do I know you, sir?”

  “You worked at The Exeter House. I’m a friend of Leland Carter. My name is Sebastian Montgomery.”

  “Mr. Montgomery? Yes, I worked at The Exeter House. Thank you for remembering me. I hope you had a pleasant experience when I served you. Would you like to order a beverage now?”

  I had to cover my mouth to hide the laugh as Sebastian blushed a beautiful shade of pink, realizing David had no recollection of him.

  “Well, yes. Please call me Sebastian, this is my lover, Isaac Browne.”

  “Mr. Browne, it's a pleasure to meet you.” David was feeling awkward. It was easy to see.

  “Please call me Isaac.”

  Sebastian kept his focus on David. “When did you leave The Exeter House?”

  “Two months ago. Someone recommended me. I was lucky because it's rare to have an opening here.”

  Time to take his attention off of David. Sebastian seemed oblivious to the man’s discomfort. “Are you in the mood for Chianti with dinner?”

  *****

  Dinner was everything Leland said it would be. Sebastian was head over heels with his veal dish, and I enjoyed a creamy Fettuccine Alfredo with prawns. Once we were outside, I told Sebastian about the rest of my plan. He peppered me throughout dinner for clues, but I never gave in.

  "I thought we would take in a movie; 'Auntie Mame' is playing at the Castro. I know you love the film, but it depends if you are in the mood for a bunch of screaming queens in a crowded theater. The other option is, 'Sinbad and the Eye of the Tiger'. I know you have a crush on Patrick Wayne, as much as you've talked about seeing him in 'McLintock!' when you were younger."

  Sebastian rolled his eyes as he placed a finger on his chin to ponder this important decision. "I love 'Auntie Mame' and Rosalind Russell. Patrick Wayne is okay as an actor, but he is cute. If you won't be jealous, let's see his movie. Where is it playing?"

  "The Coronet on Geary."

  "Oooohhhhh. That's supposed to be a big theater." Slipping his arm in mine he leaned in close. "Maybe we can sit in the back and neck."

  The movie was okay, but the best part was it wasn't crowded. We sat near the back of the theater snuggled up, missing half of the film. When we got home, my ass was still a little tender, but not enough to stop him from fucking me into the mattress before we went to sleep. As we lay there, Sebastian curled into my side while I held him. I grinned and wondered if I woke the neighbors.

  CHAPTER NINE

  Afterglow and Honesty

  Sebastian

  Yesterday was… there were no words to describe it. The attentiveness, care, and mind-blowing sex made yesterday into a day I will never forget. It was just what we needed. The most amazing part had to be when I gave in to my deepest desires and took control of our lovemaking. Yes, pushy bottoms like myself are truly in control, but what happened yesterday afternoon, and last night, brought something out in me. I never had the confidence or the trust in
someone else to allow myself to take such a chance. Isaac gave me the courage to lower boundaries I had kept my entire adult life and cross into uncharted areas I had only wondered about. This was a part of me I was always curious about but never dared to look at, let alone allow anyone else to see. I possessed Isaac like I never imagined possible and it was a cosmic experience.

  Crap! The eggs were burning. I couldn’t let go of yesterday. Dumping the blackened eggs in the trash, I wiped the pan down and started over. I wanted to surprise him with breakfast, but if I couldn’t focus on it, we’d be having lunch instead.

  I turned a boring talk show on the radio and hoped it would help keep my mind away from how he looked when I fucked him. The way his pupils were blown when I told him he was mine and I drove in deep. How he called out my name when he came all over his chest and face. I still couldn’t believe the power and control I felt at that moment. The way he called my name at the top of his lungs. I couldn’t help but smile at the possibilities. We definitely have to see if Andy can at least stay with Abby once in a while.

  *****

  After breakfast we went to Buena Vista Park and lay in the sun. I loved the little clearing and how it shielded everyone from the traffic and people milling about. I looked around before removing my sunglasses and the gray T-shirt Isaac bought me, and stretched out on the blanket we brought. He worked hard getting me to wear more casual attire for our simple outings.

  "Ahem."

  I looked over at Isaac as he waved the bottle of sun screen.

  "You want to look like a lobster later? That might put a stop to more fun tonight."

  Grabbing the bottle, I lathered myself in the cream. As much as I wanted to grumble, he was right. What he didn't mention was whenever I darkened or burned, the freckles on the bridge of my nose darkened and I hated that. "Do my back?"

  "I'd love to!" He gave me a lecherous grin as he scooted over.
