Five
The group of friends ate
dinner in Josh and Lance's apartment.
Melody's antics made them all laugh, and as Justin watched Chris' face
light up every time Melody called him "Daddy," he thought that just maybe it was all worth it.
"I think it's
bedtime for the baby," Chris announced as Lance and Joey washed dishes.
"C'mon."
"Yeah, Justin, way
past your bedtime," Josh teased.
"Ha ha," Justin
snapped. He wasn't in the mood for Josh. He had been gone from Chris for a
while, and now that he was back, he hadn't had more than five minutes alone
with his boyfriend.
"C'mon," Chris
repeated, and Melody looked at Justin.
"Jussin comin',
too?"
"Of course,"
Chris answered before Justin could reply. "Sometimes Justin stays in my
apartment."
"Good," Melody
said. She ran to hug Joey, who picked her up with soapy hands.
"Don't you think
you're scarring her for life?" Joey teased. "She doesn't need to see
you two getting freaky."
"She won't SEE
anything," Chris retorted. "And Jenn had no problem dropping her
here, knowing my lifestyle, so I don't see a problem, either."
Melody gave Joey a big
hug, and she hugged Lance as well. "Say bye to Josh," Justin said.
"Bye," Melody
said, frowning. Josh gave her a kind smile, but made no attempt to hug her.
"We'll see you guys
tomorrow or something," Chris said, picking Melody up.
"Don't you have to
work tomorrow?" Joey asked.
"I called and said I
couldn't make it tomorrow." Chris had picked up some work doing
landscaping around their small town. "They understood. I have to do more
shopping."
"Shopping!"
Justin said to Melody. "I love shopping."
"Me, too,"
Melody replied, though she really didn't understand.
"Good night,
all," Chris said over his shoulder as he carried Melody out.
They went back to Chris'
apartment. Justin clumsily brushed Melody's teeth and washed her face as Chris
prepared the small cot in the living room. "All set," Justin said
finally, helping Melody pull her pajama bottoms up after she went to the bathroom.
"Daddy!" Melody
yelled, running through the apartment. She hefted herself up onto Chris' bed
with great effort, then giggled as she bounced up and down.
"No, Mel…this is
where Justin and Daddy sleep," Chris told her. "I have a nice bed
made up for you in the living room."
"No." Melody
pouted.
"I think she must be
secretly related to you," Chris said to Justin. "Look at that
pout."
"Funny." Justin
smiled at Melody. "Don't you want to see your new bed?"
"I wanna sleep here.
Wif Jussin and Daddy." Melody began to sniffle. "Don't wanna new
bed!"
Her sniffles turned into
crying, which turned into wailing. Chris looked at Justin in alarm. "Maybe
we should just let her sleep in here. For tonight."
"Chris, I have
enough experience with little kids to know you can't spoil them when they
cry," Justin said. "She should sleep out there."
"But it's her first
night in a new place," Chris protested. "There's room."
"I'll just sleep at
home tonight," Justin said, shrugging. He didn't feel like sharing his
first night back with Chris.
"Jussin, no!"
Melody screamed, hugging his legs. "Stay! Stay wif me and Daddy!"
"Okay," Justin
sighed. He picked Melody up and she began to stop crying. Chris turned down the
covers and got the pillow from the cot. Justin sat her down in the middle of
the bed. She looked up at him with wet eyes as Chris covered her. "We're
gonna go into the living room for a little bit. You fall asleep, and we'll be
back soon, okay?"
"'K," she said,
yawning.
"Good night,
baby." Chris kissed her forehead.
"Jussin!" Melody
held out her arms and Justin sighed, hugging her.
"We're alone,"
Lance murmured, enjoying the silence of the apartment.
"Didn't someone say
something about ravaging someone's body?" Josh asked innocently. Lance
moaned quietly.
"C'mere." He
led Josh to the tiny bar by the kitchen. Lance shoved some books off a stool.
"Hey! Aren't those
your new expensive school books?"
"Fuck the school
books." Lance bit at Josh's neck as his hands fumbled with Josh's jeans.
"Shit!" Josh
hissed. Lance got the jeans down and Josh kicked them off. Lance pushed at
Josh's back until he bent over the stool. "Don't move."
Josh felt like an idiot
with his bare ass in the air, but it only lasted a second. Lance soon
reappeared, and Josh felt the coolness of lubricant as Lance's fingers slid
inside. "Baby," Josh gasped.
Lance didn't work on him
for long. Josh was more than ready and willing. "Wanted to fuck you all
night," Lance grunted as he thrusted, and yet again Josh found it hard to
remember the sweet and innocent boy who had wandered into the bookstore at the
beginning of the summer.
"Lance…so
good…" Josh panted, holding on to the legs of the stool.
Lance had a firm hold on
Josh's shoulders, using them to push Josh back onto his cock.
"Baby…love
you…" Lance groaned as he came. He pulled out and took a step back,
pulling Josh by the arm.
Josh stood up straight
and Lance whirled him around. He barely had time to breathe before Lance was on
his knees, sucking Josh to an incredible orgasm.
