Part 6
"So you said three bedrooms?" Aaron questioned, once they were safely out of the aquarium building and in the car.
"To maintain the illusion that we're only friends, friends who decided to live together, share expenses," Spencer explained. "I know very well we'll only be using one bedroom, but if we want to keep our relationship low-key..."
"Yes, we understand," Dave said glancing at Aaron, "and I at least was thinking along the same lines. We might want to go for five bedrooms and we can have one guest room and use the other for an office, which will come in useful in your case, since I'm assuming you're going to maintain your position at the university for at least the next few years anyway."
"Yes, that's what I was thinking," Spencer agreed calmly. "I'm sure you already know that I'm going to want a large room that can be used for library, but really other than that..."
"We'll discuss it more in-depth, sometime soon," Dave said. "We're just going to buy something outright, so we don't have to worry about house payments, as there are no guarantees that we'll be in this area more then another 10 to 15 years. You're going to stop aging in just a couple years or even sooner, and while there are ways to age someone's appearance, adding silver hair coloring to the hair for example, even if its just at the temples, you're still going to look incredibly young in the face and the hands. Well, until you have time to develop lines around your eyes and mouth."
"Some people do look young, even when they are not, those who have really good genetics, still look incredibly young, even when they're 80," Spencer pointed out. "I've known several people that were in their 60s or even 70s and they didn't look it, so that's not going to be a problem. It partly depends on how you live your life. I'll just be one of them, even if we add gray or white too my temples and a few other signs of aging."
"The lines in the face will appear naturally once you've had some more experiences of laughing and smiling," Aaron said. "My face has certainly aged a little, with all the added lines that developed because I was so happy. Lines from smiling a lot more then when I was married to Marilyn."
"So being Immortal doesn't prevent such things," Spencer said and both Dave and Aaron shook their heads.
"No, it doesn't prevent such things as getting the lines of stress in the forehead or smile or frown lines around the eyes and mouth, so I suppose you could consider that a sign of aging, but still, we really don't change much from the time we're 30, well, so long as we're born, not made. Yes, you will basically look 40 or so for the rest of your life, even when you start to get deep lines or around your eyes or mouth. Your body stops aging, but that doesn't prevent other signs. Really, as we were discussing awhile back it all depends on one's life experiences and how they affect us. How old would you say I looked?"
"Well, with the lines in your face, 35 to 40," Spencer admitted.
"Exactly," Dave said smiling. "I got a lot of these lines in my face from that war I was telling you about awhile back, but the rest are from pure happiness. We're stuck at 30, which is when our bodies stop aging and we'll never develop liver spots or other visible signs as I was telling you, but we certainly can get lines in our faces just from living our lives. Whether those lines are from laughter, worry, frustration or anger is up to the person. We're not vampires after all who don't change at all according all the fiction I've read. They can't get any kind of lines in their faces as they are stuck at whatever age they were changed. Well, if they actually existed that is."
"No, you're more like the highlander if you ever saw the movies or the TV show," Spencer said. "The movie character was Connor McLeod and he was Immortal, just like you, but yes, his life experiences did affect his face, but also like you he healed quickly. If we're talking about the TV show that was Connor's close kin Duncan McLeod same clan just different decades."
"I actually saw that, the movie anyway," Aaron said smiling. "That's very good description actually. There are many similarities between the movies, the TV show and us. We can undergo cosmetic changes in appearance, but we don't really age or at least our bodies don't."
"That's actually a good thing," Spencer said. "It would be a lot harder to hide your race, if you didn't age past 30, especially in this age of cameras and other technology. Somebody could snap your picture on their iPhone for example and then if they happen to see you again's 10 or even 20 years later and you looked completely the same... It's good actually that we can at least undergo cosmetic changes, even if our bodies don't age. Actually, that relieves me a great deal, because I know very well that I don't really look like I'm 38 years old, I barely look thirty."
It was true, Dave admitted Spencer did look incredibly young, at least 5, maybe even 10 years younger than he actually was. Despite everything he had been through, it didn't look like it had made much of an impression on his face, just on his mentality and his emotions.
"Depending on what size the master bedroom is we might want to knock out one of the walls and enlarge it," Aaron suggested, getting back to the subject at hand. "After all, they'll be three people living there. We'll likely also need a larger bathroom with three sinks or we're going to have to have at least two bathrooms. I know Dave and I don't have jobs right now that we have in the past just to keep ourselves busy."
"We'll see what we can find before we start thinking about modifications," Dave said. "I for one want a Jacuzzi, one of those embedded into the floor the bathroom and big enough for all three of us to use at the same time."
"So we're going to want plenty of rooms to maybe knock out walls for the library," Spencer said.
"We might have to have to build onto whatever house we purchase to get your library," said Aaron, "but we'll see what we find."
"The price doesn't matter," Dave said seeing Spencer about to protest. "We're of course, going to bargain the price down as far as possible, as that's the sensible thing to do, but both Aaron and I have more money than we'll ever spend. Even staying somewhere like the Ritz-Carlton racks up a huge bill, depending on the length of stay, but then they have every available amenity and are incredibly discreet, so that's not surprising. We'll have to see what we can find first before we see what we really need to do, so we all get what we want."
Spencer nodded knowing that he would have to learn to control his reaction to spending so much money at one time. He wasn't exactly poor as he made a good salary as a tenured professor at Florida International University, but he would never think about spending so much at one time like Dave and Aaron were casually discussing.
The three of them had a pleasant time discussing what they each wanted, as they tried to find somewhere nice for lunch.
~~~Dave, Aaron, Spencer~~~
"This is great," Spencer sighed in content, as he relaxed in the Jacuzzi that had come with the cabin. The cabin they had rented had every available amenity, Jacuzzi, sauna, whirlpool, a large kitchen with every basic cooking utensil available, den with probably the largest television available, along with a DVD player and even a selection of DVDs. This place was fantastic and Spencer could live quite happily here for years, even if it was isolated, but then he had used to prefer that when he wasn't teaching. Now, Dave and Aaron were bringing him out of his shell and he had been enjoying himself immensely over the last week and didn't even care that he had been nearly constantly sore due to the stupendous sex he had been having with his two favorite men in the world. The two of them had really been giving him a workout every night and sometimes in the mornings and afternoons to, as neither could seem to get enough of tenderly caressing, kissing, nipping, licking or ramming their cocks into his body. They had done things to him, in every conceivable position, that he had ever heard of much less done to anyone else or had done to him. The sex he had indulged in rarely before had always been a way to scratch an itch nothing more, but with Aaron and Dave it was totally different. He had never really enjoyed sex before, thinking of it as a necessary evil, but now he eagerly participated and as promised Dave and Aaron had allowed him to take the lead a couple of times and didn't seem to mind that he wasn't very experienced. They had both told him that he would gain experience, but that it would take time and that there was no need to rush.
Spencer had never felt so loved when both men had told him that and it was obvious they meant it. It made him feel so good on the inside, as it meant that neither of them were holding his inexperience against him. Both Dave and Aaron had a way about them that boosted his confidence in so many areas, but particularly the sexual arena and he would have loved them for that alone, but there were so many reasons that he had fallen so hard for both of them. Spencer would count his blessings for the rest of his life that he had his two lovers in his life for all time. Spencer knew deep in his soul, where his doubts usually were buried, that Dave and Aaron would never betray him by word, deed or agency and that the three of them would be loyal to each other forever.
"Yes, it is," Aaron agreed, as he soaked on one side of Spencer, with his head back against Jacuzzi and his eyes closed, with an expression of utter peace and bliss on his face. He looked utterly and completely content.
"It's fantastic and that I have finally found both my mates just makes it even better," Dave said from the other side. "I'm finally completely whole, something that was centuries in coming, but well worth all the effort of finding you both."
"As are we, as it's just not you," Aaron said meaning him and Spencer.
"The two of you have certainly changed my life for the better," Spencer said, as he glanced to either side of him and saw both his mates looking utterly content.
Spencer knew that his feelings had developed fast, but if there was one lesson his mother had taught him was that when he was sure he had found love to grab it with both hands, so long as he was sure that person loved him in return. His mother had always said person, which had been deliberate Spencer now realized.
His mother didn't want to predispose him towards one sex, like so many people would their children and he thought that showed just how accepting his mother was of other's foibles and preferences, unlike so many people. Of course, he knew that his mother had never expected him to be the third and final mate of a man that had been born 2000 years ago, but he also knew his mother wouldn't care that he had two lovers so long as he was happy and Aaron and Dave did make him incredibly happy.
"Glad to be of assistance," Dave grinned at him, then added more seriously. "It was our pleasure I promise you."
"That you went along so easily was amazing to both Dave and I as we figured you would resist the idea," Aaron added. "After all, you weren't born at a time where the supernatural and the paranormal were very real and part of everyday life. Such things became just a footnote in history when technology started to improve so much. A lot of people turn to science and claim it is the answer for everything, even though it doesn't explain a lot of things."
"Nowadays, nobody remembers what it was like so long ago, except the older Immortals," Dave added. "Even if things were written down the paper would've turned to dust by now. Really, if something like that was found most scholars would just put it down to the primitive time where people were far less civilized and likely think of them as a superstitious people, just like they did for the Incas and Aztecs."
"You can thank my mother for my easy acceptance," Spencer told them being perfectly serious.
"In what way?" Dave questioned curiously.
"One of the lessons she taught me when I was young was that if I ever found somebody to love, and she never specified female, that I should grab the opportunity with both hands. She told me that it was extremely rare to find true love and that so long as I was sure the person felt the same, that I should never turn such an opportunity away. She never specified the sex and she always said person instead of girl, lady or woman. She told me never to be afraid of really finding true love, because it was a precious commodity that so few found. Yes, people marry all the time, but the divorce rate is very high in this country and even those that stay together for their children or for religion reasons, don't necessarily love each other. Like for example if you're strong Catholics, as they don't approve of legally separating from your spouse, then the couple often stays together whether or not they love each other anymore. However, this does not mean those couples are truly happy with their choices not after a few years anyway."
"Your mother sounds very accepting and I wish I could've met her," Aaron said.
"I truly wish you could have to. She would love both of you," Spencer said with certainty. "She would've been surprised that I got together with two men instead of one...and even if there's no way we could've told her about the Immortality thing...she still would have been happy for me once she was sure that you both felt the same way I do. I know she would've happily accepted you into the family. Diana Reid was one of the most accepting and understanding people I've ever known and I'm not just saying that because she was my mother. Compared to other people she had very few prejudices. If not for the schizophrenia I'm sure she would have lived to meet you both, but unfortunately, the disease shortens the lifespan considerably, even of those that are getting the best of care."
"It's a shame that we can never meet her, but I'm glad that she was so accepting where other people wouldn't have been because she instilled those values into her son," Dave said.
"And it sure did make it easy for you to accept our story and offer," Aaron added, even as he leaned over from where he was sitting and nuzzled Spencer's cheek, which made Spencer release a happy sigh.
"It was a subject that my mother often brought up, as all she wanted was for me to be happy and whether that was marriage with two or three children, or a relationship with a man I don't think she really cared, although I know she would have appreciated grandchildren. My mother was an intelligent lady up until her death about ten years ago and she knew I would remember her words because of my eidetic memory," Spencer said smiling in remembrance of his mother.
"I remember sitting at the kitchen table and watching as she baked cookies and sometimes cakes or pies. Those were the times for just her and me while my father was still at work. The two of us would talk about all the trouble I was having at school with bullies, about books, literature and many other subjects. She was really into those old authors that he been dead for hundreds of years, which makes sense, as she was a literature professor for many years. Literature, particularly old literature, was her passion, a passion she instilled into her son."
"Well, she sounds like a good woman," Dave said, smiling.
"She was in so many ways," Spencer said with a soft smile, as he continued to remember his mother. "I miss her sometimes, even though I didn't see her very much after I was forced to put her in a sanitarium, because I couldn't take care of her. At the very least I'd have spent all my time doing so and she wanted me to have a life outside of taking care of her. She hated being placed in Bennington Sanitarium though, so I still feel incredibly guilty that I had to, but what was I supposed to do? I didn't have the money back then to hire somebody to look after her, so it really was the best solution."
"I'm sure she forgave you," Aaron said soothingly.
"You did what you had to do," Dave added. "Your mother was right that you couldn't spend all your time taking care of her and deep down I'm sure she knew that. She might've resented being placed in that sanitarium, but again what choice did you have? If you hadn't you might have come to visit her and found her dead with her wrists slashed or found she taken an overdose of some type of pill. You were lucky that never happened while you were going to school and then when you went to college."
"Don't think I don't know it," Spencer said. "Anyway I still miss her and I always will, though I don't think of her every day like I used to. At Bennington she got the best of care and I went to visit as often as possible, though I never stayed more than a weekend, since I had classes to teach after all."
"And you didn't want to chance running into your father," Dave suggested shrewdly.
"Well, that too," Spencer admitted. "I could have stayed for a week or so anyway in the summer, but I just never did. Now, I have no reason to go back to Las Vegas and I have no intention of doing so, not until I'm sure my father is dead, as cold and callous as that sounds."
"I don't think it sounds cold or callous," Dave disagreed immediately. "With your history with your father neither Aaron and I can blame you for your feelings. Your father didn't treat you like a human being or at least not like his son. To him you were likely seen as an investment, someone to carry on the family name, but also not someone he had to actually care about. Even if he cared about you in his own distant way, he didn't act like it at least from all you've told us. Someone who truly loves their offspring, is proud of their accomplishments, helps with any problems they're having or the very least listens to them, takes them places, praises them when they get good grades or helps them study for some test. We can be grateful that he wasn't physically abusive at least, but neglect is still abuse, even if it's more subtle and harder to pin down. He didn't give you as much attention as he would've a stray cat, as to him it was like you didn't exist. I have no intention on bringing up your father again, although it's possible even likely you will be contacted once he dies to clear up his estate."
"If I am contacted I doubt very much that I'm the executor," Spencer snorted. "No, he probably has someone at his firm handling that. I don't really care if he left me anything or not or if he wants to see me on his death bed, as I don't have too give into his demand."
"I would go and see him and tell him exactly what you think of him," Aaron said. "It would make you feel better anyway to get all those bad feelings that you've kept bottled up towards him off your chest."
"Well, we'll see when and if it happens," Spencer said. "That's not usually my way, but it would make me feel better, to tell him I hope he burns in hell. It's not so much my feelings of abandonment and hurt that I need to address with the source, but the way he abandoned his wife, my mother, left us without money. It's not like mom could help her schizophrenia as it is a genetic disease, which I'm assuming I won't be able to get once I'm fully Immortal."
"Nope, since Immortality slowly changes your genetic structure," Dave said shaking his head negatively. "We can still go through cosmetic changes like the lines on our faces that we were just discussing a few days ago, but those aren't genetic, but are made from laughing or smiling or frowning too much. Anybody can get those depending on how happy or unhappy someone may be. If someone laughs a lot of course lines are going to form around the eyes and mouth."
The three men were silent just soaking up the heat of the water.
"Have you ever made love in the water before?" Aaron asked Spencer smiling.
"Can't say I have," Spencer laughed instantly guessing where this was going. He had turned into something of a sex maniac ever since he had allowed Dave and Aaron to make love to him for the first time he had to admit it had only gotten better since. The three of them had sex several times a day and didn't stick to just nighttime. Of course, once the new school term began they wouldn't be able to have sex as frequently except on the weekends, but there was always time for quickies. Still, eventually he would retire and he might get another job somewhere down the line, but he doubted it would be for a few years anyway, as it would probably be a good idea to lay low for a decade or two first.
"Well then, why don't we show you?" Dave suggested with a grin.
"I have no objections I promise," Spencer laughed. "We should be able to do things in the water that we can't do out of it simply because of natural buoyancy."
"Believe me, we know. Dave and I have been having fun and sex in the water for several hundred years anyway, although before it was in a bathtub, a pool or the ocean, since things like Jacuzzis didn't exist back then," Aaron grinned. "It's my turn this time since Dave had his chance this morning."
"Hey, I won't be left out," Dave protested laughingly. He wasn't upset in the least, as he had never felt so happy and he knew very well that he was being teased. Besides, it was true he'd had his way with Spencer's body just this morning, while Spencer had had his way with Aaron's afterwards, before they had risen for the day.
"You can have your chance after me," Aaron told Dave with a wide grin.
"Hey! I'm game if you are," Spencer said, loving his two mates even more, as they playfully teased each other, for it wasn't a serious argument. Spencer had noticed that Aaron and Dave very rarely argued seriously and he knew that came from knowing each other so well. Spencer liked the dynamics between the two and he was slowly becoming part of those dynamics, but he knew it would take time before he was truly part of what Aaron and Dave already had between them. It was something he was more than willing to put all his efforts into though. He liked how playful the two men could become with each other as well as him, as he was certainly laughing more than he ever had in his life. He knew very well that both men could be deadly when necessary as they had been born in violent times after all, back when only the strong survived, but those parts of their personalities would not appear unless the situation called for it.
Besides, anybody could be violent when the situation called for it in order defend someone they held dear, particularly somebody they loved, so that violence was still part of human nature even if it wasn't as prevalent in this time as it had been back so long ago.
Aaron did exactly what he said he was going to do and started making love to him right there in the water and Spencer loved every minute of it making little whimpering and purring sounds as Aaron stroked his body to completion, even putting his cock into his mouth and sucking on it until Spencer's engorged cock released and his semen exploded down the other man's throat. Finally his cock went limp what seemed a long time later, but it was only a couple of minutes at most, but he had lost track of time a rather unusual event for him.
Dave for his part had been watching this eagerly with a smile on his lips as he watched his two mates, having sex with each other, though it was more a blowjob then full coitus, but still enjoyable for all that.
"My turn now," Dave said eagerly.
"Give me a few minutes to recover first," Spencer told Dave, but with a smile. "You'll get your opportunity to have your way with my body for the second time today, but Aaron did such a spectacular job of giving me a blowjob that I just need a few minutes."
"That's reasonable," Dave conceded smiling. "Why don't I just get started then and give your manhood a little time to recharge."
Spencer nodded and Dave got to work, doing things to his mate that sent strong feelings of lust through him and built his climax quickly. It didn't take long at all for his cock to start responding to Dave's gentle, tender touch and soon it swelled with his seed.
"See? It didn't take your manhood long at all to recover," Dave said smugly. "I knew it wouldn't if I started kissing you in all the places that are the most sensitive, along with a few nips."
"Well, you are right about that," Spencer said blushing a little. "I've never felt this strongly about anybody else which has something to do with it as well."
"Absolutely, as our feelings matter and our bodies respond much more strongly if you have very strong feelings for someone," Aaron said, as he watched Dave make love to their mate, since it was his turn. He wasn't jealous in the least, because all three of them belonged together and he was well aware of it.
"If you genuinely love that person their body is going to respond better than if you just feel lust or attraction to someone or at least that's true for most people," Dave agreed. Dave brought Spencer to completion and both of them ended up expelling their seed into the water just as Aaron had done a few minutes prior.
"Well, I think I'm done for the moment," Spencer said. "I am completely and totally spent."
"Yes, I think it's time we get out as we're starting to get all wrinkly," Aaron said, smiling.
"You can take a nap while I fix lunch," Dave told Spencer.
"Sounds really good right about now," Spencer said yawning hugely. "I don't normally sleep in the middle of the day, but the sex is so spectacular I really don't mind it."
"You'll work up a stamina to where you won't need to take naps so much unless it's an extended session," Aaron promised.
"Yes, you will it'll just take time," Dave said, even as he drained the Jacuzzi. All three men climbed out and Spencer headed straight to the bedroom to lay down for a nap until lunch was ready, not even caring that he was wet from the time spent in the hot water.
~~~Dave, Aaron, Spencer~~~
"Smells wonderful," Aaron said sniffing the air appreciatively. "It's been awhile since you've done steaks on an outdoor grill."
"It does smell good and I'm really looking forward to trying it," Spencer said from where he was sitting reading a book.
"They'll be ready in just a few minutes," Dave promised, smiling slightly.
It was a nice day outside, not hot, but not cold either, just the perfect summer's day and therefore, perfect to grill some steaks.
Spencer went back to his book feeling incredibly content and knowing it was because he was in love, though he knew the spectacular sex had a lot to do with it as well. The three of them had been behaving like sex maniacs and had it several times a day and he didn't even mind, which wasn't like him at all, but still he was beyond pleased by his new reality.
This man had always been inside him Spencer realized, one that was completely content and happy for the first time in his life. One that had absolutely no regrets and one who wouldn't be able wait to come home every day to his two favorite men. This was a feeling that Spencer could get used to quite easily.
Spencer became lost in his thoughts his mind far away. This time away from Florida had been good for him, better than good really. Dave and Aaron had been right about getting him away from Florida for he had been able to relax, as he didn't have to worry about anybody who knew him seeing the three of them acting like they were in a romantic relationship. Of course, once he got back to his job at Florida International University he was going to have to get used to being careful that nobody knew that Aaron, Dave and him were more the good friends, so they were going to have to remember to be extremely discrete outside their own home. He knew very well that the dean and the board of the University would not approve of him being involved with a man, much less two of them, but they would have a hard time firing him just because of his sexual preferences. In fact, they couldn't fire him, just because he got involved with two men as that was not a legit reason to do so, but they could force him to quit by making it extremely difficult for him, especially since he had tenure.
It was just better that they kept their relationship as low-key as possible, just to avoid that kind of trouble and he knew that Dave and Aaron agreed. They would have to be discreet at least until he retired in another 20 or 25 years. Of course, he might decide to move on before then, go to another university to teach, but he'd see. It all just depended how things worked out.
"Steaks are done," Dave called bringing Spencer out of his thoughts.
"I'll get the plates," Spencer offered coming back to himself. He rose to his feet after marking his place in his book. Spencer went into the kitchen and came back with three plates, which he handed out to the other two keeping one for himself.
Dave forked a big juicy steak onto his plate, then onto Aaron's and finally one onto his.
As for Aaron he brought out the green beans and baked potatoes that Dave had fixed earlier and that Aaron had heated in the microwave.
"It smells wonderful," Spencer said inhaling the scent of a perfectly grilled steak. He applied his fork and knife to the steak and raised an eyebrow when the knife cut through it like butter. Finally he took a bite into before swallowing, savoring the taste. "Well, Aaron was right you do cook a wonderful steak," Spencer said after he had swallowed. "If you wanted to you could open your own restaurant you would be very well, because everything I've eaten that you cooked has been wonderful."
"That's never been an interest of mine," Dave said cordially appreciating the sincere compliment from his newest mate. "I wouldn't enjoy cooking so much if I was cooking for total strangers. I enjoy cooking for my family or my friends, but to do it for dozens of strangers every day, well, that's just not for me."
"Well, I'm certainly glad you enjoy cooking for your family and friends at least," Spencer said, sincerely.
"We'd have to eat out for every meal if I didn't," Dave said grinning at Aaron.
Aaron accepted the gentle ribbing, since he was well used to it. His lack of cooking skills had been teasing material for centuries now. He had long ago accepted that he just wasn't the cook, as he didn't seem to have the talent, but was grateful that Dave had learned so well.
"Well, you were going to teach me at some point," Spencer said. "If I can learn to cook that would give you a break."
"Yes, I was going to see if I could teach you," Dave agreed easily, "but really I don't mind cooking for you and Aaron or whenever we have guests. Still, it won't hurt to teach you to cook so you can take over cooking duties sometimes."
"Of course, it might turn out I have no talent for it just like Aaron doesn't, but still, I'm willing to try to learn," Spencer said.
"And I'll be happy to teach you, but that can wait until the school year starts again," Dave said. "Right now we're on vacation."
"Yeah, I should have time after the first few weeks," Spencer said thinking about his normal schedule. "The first few weeks are always pretty busy as students settle back into classes. I'm glad I read so fast though, because I can grade papers a lot faster than the other professors, which will give me more time to spend with you."
"It's certainly a useful talent for a college professor," Aaron grinned.
"Definitely and make the other professors either envious or resentful," Spencer said. "Well, the ones that know about it anyway."
Spencer inhaled his steak, green beans and baked potato and thought that Dave was indeed a great cook. He was already starting to gain weight and had gained about 3 pounds, which was good in Dave's and Aaron's opinions as they thought he was too skinny.
"Well, that was one of the best meals I've ever had," Spencer said once he had finished. "Everything you cook has been good, but the steak, green beans and baked potato were excellent."
"I'll be happy to cook them again, if we have a chance before we get back home," Dave said. "If we don't have chance here, once we buy a house, one with a large backyard and buy an outdoor grill, we can do it there. I suspect that we'll have many steaks on an outdoor grill over the centuries."
"And there's also hamburgers, chicken wings, hotdogs and sausage dogs, that can be done on an outdoor grill as well," Aaron added.
"And we'll have to do those sometimes," Dave agreed, easily. "Perhaps have the neighbors over when we first move in, so that they get to know us and therefore, we can give them the basic story that we're just friends that decided to move in together, share expenses."
"It's good to keep our stories simple as the more complicated the more one of us is likely to forget details," Aaron said. "Well, all except for Spencer with his eidetic memory."
"Still, it's better to keep it simple, since I'm such a crappy liar," Spencer said.
"You'll learn to spin a story out of nothing," Dave promised. "It's just something we have to do to keep ourselves low-key. It's better to mix a little truth with the rest of it is that makes it more believable."
"I know," Spencer said. "I'm sure that is some point I'll get better at it not that that pleases me. Still, it would be nice that people couldn't tell I was lying. I'd rather to be honest though, although I do understand that's not always going to be possible. Like if people get curious about the three of us and figure out that we are together sexually."
"They would never believe the truth anyway even if we could tell them," Aaron said shrugging. "They would just figure that we are making something up and therefore we had something to hide. If we did tell them that we are Immortals that have a soulmate bond between the three of us they would never believe it anyway and I don't plan on demonstrating what I am to anybody else."
"No, nobody else needs to know, although I realize that someone might somewhere down the road. We did tell Penelope after all, but she already believed in unusual things. She celebrates the day of the dead for example, which is a couple of days after Halloween. She actually believe that the ghosts of peoples loved ones come through the veil on that day to see their living relations," Dave said.
"Well, the veil is supposed to be at its thinnest on that day," Spencer said. "I never believed in the legend myself, but then I never believed in Immortals either, until you proved to me they did exist, so it might very well be true."
"Who knows if it is or not?" Dave mused as he finished his own dinner. "Still, people like Penelope don't come around very often, someone with such open and numerous beliefs. Beliefs in the strange supernatural and paranormal."
"I would love to meet your friend," Spencer said.
"We can arrange something," Dave said. "She's based in New York and we can take a trip there, perhaps next summer."
"Sounds good I can hardly wait," Spencer said smiling. "I've never been to New York."
"Well, Aaron and I will be glad to show you around, go see the Empire State building, the Statue of Liberty and other historic sites. Unfortunately, we won't be able to see the twin towers as they were brought down by terrorist in 2011."
"Yes, I know that was such a tragedy," Spencer said. "All those people, not to mention the numerous firemen and police officers."
"Yes, it was a tragedy, very much so," Aaron agreed. "Unfortunately, there will always be evil people in the world. Ones who don't care about other people's terror and pain and who don't care about preserving life."
"The humans do what they can and they catch many bad people, but there will always be some of it out there," Dave said.
"I'll do the dishes," Spencer offered. "It's only fair, since you did the cooking. It shouldn't take me long to load the dishwasher."
"Well, after you do that how about a movie as we haven't even turned on the TV yet?" Dave suggested.
"Sounds good," Spencer said and Aaron nodded. "I'm not usually much of a TV person I'll admit, except for something like Dr. Who, but I suspect that it'll be much funner to watch with other people rather then alone."
"Oh, definitely," Aaron grinned.
"Ever heard of making out on the couch like teenagers?" Dave added grinning himself.
"I've heard of it, but it's not something I've ever had a chance to experience myself," Spencer admitted blushing a little at the looks his two mates were giving him, which could only be described as lascivious.
"Well, now you shall," Aaron said grinning, as he came forward putting an arm around Spencer's waist, pulling him close and kissing the top of his head.
"We're going to give you many experiences that you never got a chance to do," Dave added.
"It sounds wonderful," Spencer said sighing contentedly, as he cuddled into Aaron's side and was even happier when Dave joined them coming in on his other side, putting him firmly in the middle. The three men stood like that for a few minutes, but then they separated somewhat reluctantly.
Spencer had discovered over the last few weeks that he liked being touched and before Aaron and Dave had come into his life he didn't like being touched at all. He had gotten used to not being touched by the time he was 10 as his mother had been so ill that she hadn't been able to show him the type of affection that any child needed. He didn't blame her for it, because she had been ill, his father on the other hand, was a totally different matter altogether. He hadn't been touched much in years after he had put his mother in Bennington Sanitarium, but Dave and Aaron were rapidly making up for his childhood and touched him as much as possible, which he was beginning to crave like a drug. It was certainly a much healthier way to live life then taking narcotics though. He hadn't realized how touch starved he had been until Dave and Aaron started touching him on a regular basis, even if it was just a brief touch on the arm or a kiss on the cheek. For one thing it showed that they genuinely loved him something he would never get enough of for as long as he lived, which would be for hundreds of years, maybe even thousands, since Dave was over 2000 after all. It was still amazing to Spencer that Dave could look so young when he was over 2000 years old or that Aaron was over 800. Still, he had come to accept it, as he loved both of them so much and he knew that would never change.
Spencer took the three plates inside and scraped them before loading the dishwasher.
"I'll be sorry when our time here is over and I hope we come back sometime," Spencer said when he finally joined the other two, after cleaning up the dinner dishes.
"We will come back," Dave promised. "Maybe next summer after we go to New York, so you can meet our friend Penelope Garcia."
"We could even come up here for some long weekends if you're not too busy grading papers," Aaron added.
"That's a possibility," Dave said. "Come up on a Friday after you finish classes."
"Well, we can talk about it later," Spencer said. "What movie do you want to watch?"
The three of them argued playfully over what movie to watch, but finally made a decision and inserted the disc into the player.
The movie began and all three watched it for a few minutes before they begin necking missing most of the movie not that any of them cared.
By the time the movie was over they were more than ready to head to bed to make love and so that's what they did.
