“You followed us fromHawaii?”
He nodded. “Yeah. Believe it or not…Iwanted to try and talk to you, to warn you that Francois was indanger, but I got pulled off by security before I could even get onthe plane. I couldn’t believe it.”
I got up from my seat when I saw Sageand another man approach us.
“I’m going now,Kaolin.”
“Don’t go, stay. You haven’tfinished your drink.”
“I’ve had plenty,” I saidand walked off to find Francois waiting for me. He held me in hisarms.
“Any idea where Benny is?” Iasked him.
“We’re checking, but I thinkthey’re back in Hawaii. Are you okay?”
“Yes. Francois, I’msorry.”
“No, baby, I’m the one who’ssorry. I brought this mess into our lives. From now on, no moreshady guys. Even if it’s as boring as bat shit, I’ll take the jobsthat keep me out of trouble.”
“Francois, I know you meanthat now, sweetheart, but I really don’t think you could ever,really stay out of trouble.”
“That’s not nice,” he said,but he grinned at me.
We rode home in the back of a policecar, Francois’ arm around me.
“Sage wants another roll inthe hay with us,” he said as we got out of the vehicle.
“Oh, he does,huh?”
“Think about it. It’s up toyou.”
Up to me? Right now, Sage was the lastthing on my mind.
I wanted to check on Ferric and Mom,then I wanted some hot sack time with Francois.
When I mentioned this, hegrinned.
“No arguments from me,babe.”
Ferric and Mom were waiting for us.They came out to greet us and it was a wonderful feeling knowing wewere all together and everybody was safe. They’d made dinner withall kinds of local seafood delicacies and we even had dessert.Coconut ice cream and island fruit.
We talked about what we’d do thefollowing day.
“I don’t want to move fromthe lap pool,” Mom said. We may have to take it home withus.
“It’s good, but when are wegoing home?” Ferric said. “I really miss our house.”
I smiled at him.
Francois put his hand on Ferric’sshoulder. “Probably the day after tomorrow. The FBI has to pick upBenny’s boyfriend and we’re not going anywhere until that freak isback in custody. We’d told Mom and Ferric as much as we knew. Theyboth took the news pretty much in stride.
We hadn’t wanted to tell Ferric we werewaiting until Benny’s boyfriend had been captured and was backbehind bars, but we had already agreed we wouldn’t keep secretsfrom him. Besides, the next time we saw Benny, he’d be blabbing thenews himself.
“I feel sorry for Benny,”Ferric said. “I kinda think he liked that guy.”
Yeah, Benny was going to be a mess whenthe truth revealed itself.
“You know something?” Ferricasked. “You know why I don’t like talking to my mom?”
“Why?” Francoisasked.
“Because she doesn’t tell mestuff and she’s mean about Mingo.”
That surprised me. I hardly knew thewoman, but I also knew it pissed her off that Francois was nowcompletely out of the closet and committed to me. According toFrancois, she had no idea he was bisexual in the firstplace.
“She calls him your boy toy,Dad.”
Mom and Francois were indignant. Me, Ishrugged it off. As far as I was concerned, there were worse thingsshe could have called me.
“I don’t want her to knowany of this,” Ferric said. “And that’s my decision.”
“We’ll talk about it later,”Francois said.
“No. She can’t find out.She’ll find some reason to blame you both and try and make me comehome. She just wants a babysitter. I know her, Dad.”
Francois nodded.
“Okay, Ferric. Please don’tstress, sweetheart. We’ll just agree that unless she asks, we won’tsay anything. And there’s no reason she will find out about any ofthis.”
“Cool.” A weight seemed tolift from Ferric’s shoulders.
“Sometimes I think she hatesme and doesn’t want me to be happy. Now all of you on the otherhand, are so much fun. Plus, you’re a bunch of weirdoes.” He pickedup the last slice of mango on the fruit platter and suckedit.
“We’re weirdoes?” Mom asked,her head tilted in a questioning way.
“Yes, of course you are. AndI belong with you because I’m a weirdo, too.” He picked up hisplate and drifted off to the kitchen.
“Well, beautiful weirdo,”Francois said, looking at me, “Care for a littleJacuzzi?”
We went to our room, donned our shortsand walked to the back deck where the Jacuzzi waited. We turned iton and gave it a few minutes to warm up.
“Hey,” Francois said. “Aninversion table.” He pointed into the sports room beside us. I’dnever noticed it before because I hadn’t even gone over half thehouse.
I really didn’t feel like a workout,not one that didn’t involve my lover’s cock and getting frisky withit.
“Put these gravity boots on,baby.”
I slipped my feet into them and hepicked me up as if I was the weight of a dust bunny and fitted meonto the table.
He snapped the boots into the holderson either side of the base, found the switch to hang me upside andgrunted.
“Want the orgasm of yourlife?” he asked me.
“Ferric might find us,” Iwhispered as Francois undid my shorts.
“You’re my boy toy,bitch.”
“Oops. Sorry. Iforgot.”
He bent his head as I hung, suspendedupside down. He sucked my cock and the sensation was unbelievable.My orgasm came fast, crashing down on me like a hundred tons ofbeautiful waves upon waves of heightened bliss. My eyes closed inrapture. I was riding along a street on a Repco boys’bicycle..
“How was that?” Francoisasked against my ear.
“Unbelievable. Please…I wantto do it to you.”
“Hell no, I want to come inyour ass while you’re still riding this high.”
“How do you know aboutthis?”
“Tried it oncebefore.”
“Fuck. I had toask.”
“It was with a woman. Andshe was not my toy.”
He unbuckled me from the machine andcarried me to the Jacuzzi. He placed me at the edge. I opened myeyes to see that he was naked and hard, his face moving between myopen legs and he began to lick my ass. I think I was still coming.Every tongue stroke sent ripples of pleasure through my body. Lord,I wanted him in me while I felt this way, responding to even thelightest caress.
“Francois, fuck me,” Imoaned.
He took his face away from me and hehelped me into the wonderful, warm Jacuzzi. Men get swift erectionsin Jacuzzis and the water in this one had a wonderful scent to
