Chapter 8: Oscar


Present Day

Emmett did not sleep, nor did he desire it. He laid in the bed he shared with his lover, his life partner. The partner who, as near as he could tell in the confusing mess, was going to leave him to marry a woman. Emmett's arm was around the man and the front of Emmett's naked body conformed to the back of his lover's naked body. Emmett was content to just listen to Nasir breathe evenly in his sleep. They very much needed to talk, but Emmett wanted his partner to rest. Seth and Garrett's ceremony was only yesterday, but it seemed so much had happened. It had been a joyous day. His best friend and the love of his life, a man who was so perfect for him, had celebrated their love for each other. He had seen their old friend Jasper for the first time in six years. More than that Jasper and Edward had connected in a positive and potentially very meaningful way. Just seeing that made his heart soar. But what was more wonderful than anything, was that he had been reunited with his lover. The man Emmett loved with his whole being. The man who had made love to him, and then told him that he was leaving him, to get married to a woman he did not know, because his father said so.

Emmett watched the light of the beautiful sunny summer day fade as the minutes and even hours ticked away. Dusk had settled across Seattle when Nasir stirred.

"Mmm," Nasir murmured as he ran his hand along the arm that held him and held it to his chest. It took another few seconds for that to register. Nasir's head whipped around, his eyes wide. "Emmett!" Nasir quickly shifted around to face Emmett.

"Hey, baby," Emmett put a hand to Nasir's face.

"Emmett, I am so sorry!" Nasir clung to the stronger man. He pressed his face into the crook of Emmett's neck. "I never wanted to hurt you. This is so fucked up and I am so sorry. Garrett said you thought I wanted to leave you! I don't want to leave you. I love you! So much."

"I was afraid I would find you packing when I got home," Emmett confessed.

"I am so sorry I made you think that," Nasir pulled back to look into Emmett's eyes. He put a hand to Emmett's face. "I should have realized how all this shit would sound to you. I don't want to lose you. I would rather die than lose you," tears spilled from the soft brown eyes. "I would die."

"Nasi," Emmett tried to soothe his lover. "I'm sorry too. I should have been more understanding. I know you don't want to hurt me."

"No," Nasir just whispered and shook his head. "I love you so much," he said through his tears.

"Oh, Nasi," Emmett held his sobbing lover. "I love you too. More than I can say. I was way too hard on you. I'm so sorry. I don't want you to cry."

"Emmett," Nasir rubbed his thumb on Emmett's cheek. "I left you at the hotel. I just keep hurting you. I don't want to. I'm sorry. I should not have left you like that."

"Nasi, after the way I treated you, I can't blame you one bit," Emmett held Nasir's head in his hand. "I'm the one who should be sorry."

"How did you get home?" Nasir asked.

"I walked home," Emmett was honest.

"Oh no!" Nasir was the more distressed.

"No. No, baby," Emmett soothed. "It's okay. I wanted to walk. It gave me time to think."

Nasir ran his hand up Emmett's arm and encountered the heavy gold cuff. His eyes went wide as he beheld it. "You are wearing your bracelet!"

"Yeah. Is that okay?" Emmett asked. "I know I gave it back to you."

"No, it is yours! I want you to wear it always," Nasir stressed. "When you gave it back to me, that," Nasir choked up, "it broke my heart."

"Oh, God, Nasi," Emmett held him close. "I'm so sorry. That was such a shitty thing to do. I love you so much. Baby, I'm so sorry."

Tears streamed down Nasir's face. "Tell me what to do."

"Nasi," Emmett teared up as well. He could not stand to see his partner in such pain. "Baby, you have to tell me what to do. I don't understand this. I want to. I know things are different for you. I get it. Sorry, I'm not making much sense. I don't get it, but I accept that you have to do this."

Nasir curled his fingers around Emmett's ear as he caressed his lover's face. "Hab- oh," his face crumpled as he remembered. "I mean-"

"Were you just going to call me habibi?" Emmett asked.

Nasir dropped his gaze. "I'm sorry," he whispered.

"It's okay, Nasi. You can call me that," Emmett's own tears spilled. "I love it when you call me that. I shouldn't have told you not to call me habibi. I've been so mean to you. I'm so, so sorry."

"You are my habibi," Nasir said through his tears.

"And you're mine," Emmett held Nasir close. "I love you, Nasir."

Both men held each other and cried. They only knew how much they loved each other and how desperate they were not to lose the life they had built together. Their tears eventually slowed. Emmett sat up and wiped his face with his hand.

"Nasi, sit up with me," Emmett pulled his arm. Nasir did so and Emmett gently wiped his lover's face. Both men sat naked and facing each other crossed legged on the bed. Emmett took Nasir's hands in his own.

"We have to figure this out now, baby," Emmett began. "How do we make this work?"

Nasir just gazed into the crystal blue eyes that were so full of love for him. "Do you know how happy you make me? How wonderful my life has been since I met you?"

"Me too, Nasi. It's the same for me," Emmett squeezed his lover's hands. Nasir slowly shook his head.

"I came alive, when you came into my life," Nasir explained. "Before you, I was just existing. I was dead inside. I did not know happiness. I did not know love. You gave me all that. You gave me your life here. You gave me Seth and Garrett," he raised a hand to Emmett's face. "You gave me you."

Emmett closed his eyes and turned his head to kiss Nasir's palm. Nasir gave a sigh and dropped his hand.

"Now I am filled with anger," Nasir shook his head. "That old life, dead and empty and devoid of any goodness, has returned to claim me."

"We'll make it good together, Nasi," Emmett squeezed his hands again. "We have to find a way."

A small, but audible bleep sounded in the room at that moment.

"Is that your phone?" Nasir looked around. "You have a text."

"It's still in my pants pocket," Emmett stated. Nasir climbed off the bed to retrieve the phone from Emmett's discarded jeans and handed it to him. Emmett opened the phone and read.

Are you guys up?

Feel like dinner?

Come up. We'll order pizza.

We love you.

"It's from the guys," Emmett handed the phone to Nasir.

"They are so good to us," Nasir handed the phone back. "Do you want to go?"

"Yeah. They're both very smart guys. Maybe they can help us figure out this mess," Emmett sent back a text to say they would see them in an hour and bring the beer. He closed the phone and looked up at Nasir. "You wanna take a shower?"

A smile graced Nasir's face for the first time since he had broken his terrible news to his lover. He held out his hand. "Will you take one with me?"

"Nasi, I would like nothing more," Emmett climbed off the bed and took Nasir's hand. Nasir led Emmett into the large en suite bath. Nasir flipped on the light and let go of Emmett's hand as he reached into the clear glass enclosed shower stall to turn on the water. Emmett stepped up behind his lover and circled his big arms around Nasir. Nasir leaned back into his man's massive chest.

"I love you, Habibi," Nasir spoke softly.

"I love you, Nasir," Emmett kissed the side of Nasir's neck. As they waited for the water to warm up Emmett reflected on what good friends Seth and Garrett had so consistently been to them.


16 Months Ago

It had been nearly two months since Nasir had made his appearance in Seattle and moved into the Four Seasons. At first both Emmett and Nasir stayed in the hotel suite nearly all the time, only occasionally sleeping at Emmett's condo. As the weeks progressed they began to spread the time between the hotel and the condo pretty evenly. Nasir thought it very special when Emmett cooked dinner for them both. Having had servants all his life, Nasir was completely lost in the kitchen, but every time Emmett prepared a meal for them, Nasir insisted on cleaning up. Emmett cleared out drawers in his dresser for Nasir and made room in the walk in closet. Just as Emmett had clothes at the hotel, Nasir had clothes at the condo. On work nights when they stayed at the condo they would get ready and leave together. Emmett would drop Nasir off at the hotel where he would work for the day, and continue to his own office. Some nights Nasir was up all night due to the time difference in the UAE. Those nights they would stay at the hotel and Nasir would join Emmett in bed when he could.

They settled into a routine of dinner once a week with Seth and Garrett. Often it was out, but on occasion Emmett or Seth would cook for them. On those nights Emmett and Seth would work together in either kitchen leaving Nasir and Garrett to bond over a cocktail. While the best friends both used the gym in their building, Garrett was a member of a large club and took Nasir as a guest one day. Nasir was instantly hooked and joined on the spot. Nasir and Garrett became racquetball buddies. They met to play three times a week and enjoyed the pool, hot tub and steam room. Emmett and Seth were very pleased that their men got along so well.

Then came the first time Nasir had to go out of town. Jumeirah Construction Group, Ltd had taken on a project in Singapore. Special considerations had to be taken if they expected the Chinese to do business with a hotel built on Reclamated Land. The Managing Director had ordered his two most trusted executives to Singapore to see to the details. Nasir expected to be gone about a week. The less time with his brother and away from Emmett, the better. Nasir had not given up the suite at the Four Seasons. As far as he was concerned it was Emmett's to use as he saw fit as well. Emmett did not tell Nasir, but he wanted nothing to do with the suite while he was gone. It was an even larger reminder of the man missing from his life. Emmett had, of course, wanted to take Nasir to the airport, but Nasir would not hear of it. That is what the car service was for and he did not want Emmett to be inconvenienced. They said their goodbyes in front of the hotel before Nasir was whisked away by stretch limousine.

Five days later was the Oscar party hosted by Seth and Garrett in their penthouse. This was a much more formal affair than New Years. The invitations made it quite clear that formal attire was mandatory. Emmett put on a black suit with a white shirt and thin black tie and called it close enough. He had but to go down the hall and ride up the elevator. Emmett was not in high spirits as he would have and should have been. Much ado was made about this party. Garrett and Seth had become the consummate hosts. Emmett really wanted Nasir at his side for this event and it saddened him that he was not.

The double doors to Penthouse A on the 15th floor both stood wide open. Standing on the harlequin black and white marble in the center of the spacious dark wood entry hall was a life sized ice sculpture of Oscar. But this naked Oscar was anatomically correct and quite well endowed. His big ice dick hung down against the sword this Oscar held out to make room. Emmett shook his head and chuckled. He knew perfectly well who was responsible for that. Emmett walked into the living room filled with museum quality antique furnishings. A waiter in white valet jacket and black bow tie quickly offered him a flute of champagne.

"Thanks," Emmett said as he took the one glass on the silver tray. The young man just smiled and stepped away. Garrett walked into the living room from the direction of the kitchen. The elegant man wore a slate gray morning coat with classic striped pants, lighter gray double breasted lapelled vest and stripped cravats.

"Ah, Emmett," Garrett walked to him.

"Hey, Garrett," Emmett gave him a kiss on his lips. "You look really sharp, man."

"Well, thank you. And you are as big and handsome as ever. I'm sorry Nasir could not be with us this evening," Garrett spoke with a hand on Emmett's arm.

"Yeah, he's still in Singapore. He'll be home in a few more days, I hope," Emmett was resigned. Then Seth appeared from the direction of the bedrooms. Emmett's mouth hung open in shock and he took a step back. His best friend was wearing a morning coat identical to his partner's.

"All right, wipe that look off your face," Seth put his hands on his hips.

"It looks like Seth," Emmett held up his hands. "It even sounds like Seth," Emmett looked to Garrett who tried very hard not to laugh.

"You're gonna get it," Seth warned.

"Okay, who are you and what have you done with Seth Clearwater?" Emmett asked.

"I told you this would happen," Seth looked to Garrett.

"You did, it's true," Garrett admitted.

"Garrett wanted us to match." Seth pointed down, "My shoes are leather at least."

Emmett looked down. "To think those two little shoes are all that stopped the universe from imploding."

"Oh shut up and kiss me," Seth demanded. Emmett leaned down to kiss him on the lips.

"Hello, boys," the voice made them turn. Leah Clearwater wore a strapless red dress to her ankles with perfectly matched high heels. The bold color made her dark skin and long, straight, jet black hair that much more beautiful. She carried a small matching clutch.

"Sis!" Seth bounced over to her.

"Hi, baby brother," She was very careful to give him a kiss that did not smear lipstick on him.

"Leah, you look stunning," Garrett gave her a hug and kiss on the cheek.

"Thank you, and don't you boys look nice. Hey, big guy," Leah shared a kiss on the cheek with Emmett as well.

"Hey, Sis," Emmett hugged her. He had known her for many years and considered her the sister he never had.

"Where's Nasir?" Leah asked. She had met him just the once, but liked him immediately.

"He's in Singapore," Emmett answered.

"Singapore! Jesus. Doesn't get around much, does he," Leah teased. "Oh, thank you," she took the offered glass of champagne. "He's seriously cute, by the way. You guys look good together."

"Thanks, Leah," Emmett smiled.

"It's about time you found a good guy," Leah took a sip. "Oh, expensive champagne. I know who's behind this."

"Uh, shut up!" Seth said with raised eyebrows.

A trio walked in from the entry hall. Edward was dressed exactly like Emmett. Maggie wore a man's black tails complete with pants with a satin stripe, white bow tie, shirt and vest. Her strawberry blonde hair was worn up. Rosalie wore a very sleek little black dress that highlighted her womanly curves. Her long blonde hair cascaded over her shoulders. Edward walked straight into Emmett's waiting arms.

"How are you, Eddie?" Emmett gave him a tight hug.

"Ah, you know. Does no good to complain," Edward patted the strong back.

"I know that. Have a drink," Emmett gestured to the man approaching with the tray of flutes. The very available Hispanic waiter gave Edward an especially inviting smile.

"Thank you," Edward smiled right back. Emmett could not help but grin. Maggie took a flute next and stepped close to Edward.

"I saw that. Don't even think about picking up Seth and Garrett's help," Maggie cautioned.

"Okay, I won't," Edward spoke with tedium. Maggie gave an officious nod and headed for the baby grand. Edward raised his glass to his lips.

"But I will let him blow me in the bathroom," Edward spoke into his drink so that only Emmett could hear. Maggie sat down on the piano bench and turned to give Edward a hard squinted gaze as she heard Emmett's booming laugh.

Two more arrivals came into the living room arm in arm. Justin wore a classic black tux with a cornflower blue houndstooth pattern vest and bow tie. His wife wore strapless teal gown.

"Justin, Melinda," Garrett greeted his handsome older brother and sister in law. Justin had a straight guy lean in at the shoulder with no hip contact hug for his brother and his partner. Melinda always had a kiss for them both.

"Hi, Malynn," Seth used his special name for her as he hugged her. "Hey, Justin."

"What's up, Seth? Don't you look cute!" Justin teased. Seth pretended to punch Justin in his stomach and bounced away.

"Come back here, you little Injun!" Justin reached for him but Seth was too fast. The smaller man giggled with glee as he evaded the bigger straight guy. Seth loved to tease his lover's brother.

"Justin, don't call him that," Melinda did not like the derogatory word. Everyone knew Justin was only playing. Two more flutes were presented.

Justin took a sip of his champagne and looked to his brother. "You got any beer?"

"I can dress him up," Melinda shook her head and headed toward the piano.

"Justin, this is black tie. We are not drinking beer," Garrett stated.

"They're not wearing black tie," Justin pointed to Emmett and Edward. Emmett and Edward looked down at themselves, at each other, back to Garrett and Justin, and simultaneously took a sip from their flutes.

"Well, no they're not, quite," Garrett agreed. "But they are very cute,and very cute men can wear whatever they want in this house."

"I'm not cute?" Justin asked.

"You're my brother. You are definitely not in the cute category," Garrett stated.

"I think you're cute," Emmett teased.

"I do too," Edward joined.

"Oh, that's great," Justin turned and called after his wife, "Honey, the gays are salivating."

"Have fun, Dear," Melinda called back. Emmett and Edward burst out laughing.

"That's really helpful, thanks, Honey," Justin gave his wife a wave. Seth emerged from the kitchen with a beer carefully poured into a chilled pilsner glass. He walked up to Justin and traded the flute for the glass.

"Oh, thanks, Seth," Justin took a large gulp of his beer. "Your guy's all right, Garrett. I don't care what I say about him," Justin teased. Seth just rolled his eyes and drank from the flute he traded from Justin.

"So, seriously," Justin took another gulp. "Am I, like, the token straight guy?"

Seth nearly spit his champagne. "Ha! I'm gonna call you Token!"

"Not at all, Justin," Garrett attempted to maintain some small amount of decorum. "Miles and Silvia from next door did say they would try to pop in."

"Miles and Silvia," Justin said flatly.

"Yes," Garrett confirmed.

"Your neighbors from the other penthouse," Justin pointed.

"Yes," Garrett confirmed again. Seth gave a snicker. He knew where this was going.

"Aren't they in their eighties, Garrett? I have more in common with you gay boys," Justin complained. "I wanna talk sports!"

"Miles is straight. He will be able to talk sports. It's required of you straight men, I think," Garrett stated.

"I'll talk sports with you, Token," Seth began. "I saw some damn cute soccer players on television the other day."

Justin heaved a great sigh and hung his head.

"That's how we do it, Justin," Emmett added. "We talk about how cute they are in their uniforms."

"I was thinking how cute they must look out of their uniforms," Seth finished.

"Yeah, this is exactly how sports conversations go when I get together with my buddies. Yeah, exactly," Justin made a wide eyed face.

Two more arrivals strode into the formal living room from the entry hall. They both wore rack black tuxes with white wing tipped collars and black bow ties. The first man had Italian dark good looks with thick wavy hair. His wing man had a mop of unkempt blonde hair that fell in his eyes and a sun kissed California surfer vibe. Both were tall and broad shouldered.

"That statue is awesome, dude. I've never seen an Oscar with a dick before!" the blonde commented loudly as they entered.

"Oh, I'm so glad you boys could make it," Garrett stepped forward. "Let me introduce everyone. This is Frankie and Nathan from my office. Guys, you know Seth and Emmett, of course," as Garrett pointed around the room people nodded and gestured with their glasses. "This is Edward. That's Maggie and Rosalie over at the piano. Maggie is the one playing. Melinda and Leah are around here someplace. And this is my brother Justin, who was our token straight man until you two arrived."

"What's up, Justin," Frankie offered his hand.

"Sup, dude," Nathan echoed and shook their comrade's hand as well.

"You guys catch the Canucks game?" Justin asked.

"Dude, they showed the Wings how to play hockey!" Nathan extolled.

"Careful," Seth was dramatic, "the testosterone is getting thick in here."

"Just thinning out the gay, Seth," Justin was quick. The waiter stepped up and offered flutes to the two new arrivals. They both took one and looked to Justin.

"Where'd you get the beer, man?" Frankie asked.

"Oh, for heaven's sake," Seth exclaimed. "Juan, will you get two beers in glasses for these guys," he called to the waiter.

"Yes, sir," the very friendly waiter gave a smile.

"Thank you," Seth took a drink of his champagne. "They're straight all right."

"So, it's just us and the gay dudes, huh? That's cool," Nathan commented.

"I love hangin' with gay guys, man," Frankie stated, "Hot chicks flock to them. There's two right over there," he gestured with his head toward the piano.

"I don't know, dude. That one girl is dressed like a guy," Nathan was wary. "I bet she's put the moves on that other chick already."

Emmett and Edward looked at each other and tried very hard to suppress their snickers. The straight boys did not notice as Melinda and Leah walked out from the direction of the bedrooms together. Justin, along with everyone else, read the look on Frankie and Nathan's faces.

"Guys, this is my wife, Melinda," Justin introduced. "Mel, meet a couple of guys from Garrett's office. Frankie and Nathan."

"Hi, boys," Melinda gave a wave. She did not continue to approach, but Leah did. The straight guys were captivated by the dark, exotic woman in the red dress.

"I thought I smelled fresh meat," Leah said seductively. Frankie and Nathan's eyebrows went up in unison. They liked the sound of that.

"Guys, this is my sister," Seth began. "Leah, meet the meat, Frankie and Nathan."

"Hey, pretty lady," Frankie started.

"Hi there, boys," Leah was very smooth. The waiter returned at that moment with two tall pilsner glasses on his tray. The intended recipients did not notice him at all.

"Did you order those?" Leah gestured.

"What?" Nathan asked. He finally looked. "Oh, yeah. Thanks, dude," he took both glasses and handed one to his buddy.

"Let's take a seat and get comfortable," Leah walked toward the seating area furthest from the piano. Frankie and Nathan followed her like devoted puppies. Seth slowly shook his head.

"My sister is gonna eat them alive," Seth took a sip of his champagne. Emmett could not let that opportunity pass.

"So, Garrett, what's it like to be eaten alive by a Clearwater?" Emmett wore a broad grin.

"I can assure you they'll enjoy it," Garrett confirmed with a smile.

"I'm gonna eat you alive right after this party, Mr. Thompson," Seth leered at him.

"Good night, everyone," Garrett called out. Those within earshot of the conversation laughed. Garrett pulled Seth to him and bent to kiss him softly on his lips.

"I love you," Seth looked up at his lover.

"I love you, Sweetness," Garrett's devotion was clear in his eyes.

"I never get tired of seeing them together like this," Emmett commented.

"It's beautiful," Edward agreed.

Another waiter appeared with a tray of hors d'oeuvres while Juan refilled glasses. People began to split into alternate groups. Garrett and Justin drifted over to Maggie and Rosalie at the piano. Melinda and Seth spoke of having another showing at her gallery of the same artist that had inadvertently brought them all together. Emmett and Edward sat down on a sofa near the piano. They both sat into the corners of the small sofa so that they could face each other while they talked.

"What do you hear from Jasper, Em? Have you talked to him?" Edward asked.

"I talked to him just a couple of weeks ago, actually," Emmett informed.

"How is he?" Edward dropped his gaze and spoke in a quiet voice.

"He seems good. Work keeps him pretty busy. He likes his job. It's very cold in Manhattan," Emmett ran down what he knew. "I don't get a lot of personal details. None, really. If there is someone in his life, I couldn't tell you."

Edward looked up at Emmett with and open and earnest face. "Is he happy, Em?"

"You know, I think he is, Eddie," Emmett stated.

No one noticed Garrett pull the cell out of his coat pocket that had vibrated subtly. He but glanced at it and slipped it back away. Garrett looked across the large room at his partner and gave the smallest nod. Ever watchful Seth saw it and returned it. He leaned to whisper to Melinda and then quietly slipped out through the entry hall.

Seth dashed to the elevator and rode down to the lobby. He flew out of the lift and toward the front doors of the building. Through the glass front doors he could see the parked stretch Cadillac limousine. Nasir stood in a midnight green suit by the side of the car. He caught sight of Seth as the smaller man opened the door. Nasir wore a broad smile.

"Seth!" he walked to the open door and gave Seth a hug and kiss.

"Hi, Nasir," Seth had a big smile for his best friend's boyfriend.

"Does he suspect?" Nasir asked.

"Not a thing. He's been telling people that you're in Singapore all evening," Seth dismissed.

"Good! I so want to surprise him," Nasir was enthused.

"You sure will," Seth nodded. "I probably shouldn't tell you this, but he's mopey when you're gone."

"It's nice to know he misses me as much as I miss him," Nasir smiled.

The driver approached laden with matched Louis Vuitton luggage. Nasir held the door while Seth dashed back to the elevator. They rode to the eighth floor and Seth led the way to Emmett's door. He used his key to admit them. Seth stood aside while Nasir and the luggage bearer walked into the condo.

"I'm gonna get back up before I'm missed. You'll be right up?" Seth called from the corridor.

"I'm right behind you. I just have to get changed," Nasir called back. Satisfied, Seth charged back to the elevator.

In but a moment Seth slipped back into his home with only two in the know that he had ever been gone. Across the living room Seth gave his lover a tiny nod. Garrett smiled and nodded back. The occupants of the penthouse continued with their conversations as if nothing had happened. For the rest of them, nothing had.

It was not fifteen minutes. Those facing the door gasped when they saw him. His full beard was trimmed very close to his face such that while very dark, was little more than a shadow. He wore a tux shirt, bow tie and single breasted, lapelled vest all in white with black pants. In place of a tux jacket he wore a flowing black bisht heavilly trimmed in gold. On his head he wore a white ghutra secured by double black cords.

Emmett had been sitting with his back to the door. He watched a change come over Edward's face.

"Oh, wow," Edward said. Emmett turned to look, and could not believe his eyes.

"Oh, my God!" Emmett flew off the sofa. A broad smile broke out on Nasir's face.

"Oh, my God!" Emmett repeated as he rushed into Nasir's arms. Emmett grabbed Nasir and held him in a crushing embrace. "Nasi, I'm so glad you're here."

"I missed you." Nasir confessed.

"I missed you too, Baby," Emmett pulled back and took Nasir's head in his hands, ghutra and all. He gave his guy several loving kisses on his full lips.

All eyes in the penthouse were on Emmett and Nasir. Seth moved to stand next to his partner and held his hand. He and Garrett both wore warm smiles.

"So," Nathan spoke to his buddy and Leah who sat with him, "I'm gonna guess that's a gay dude too."

"Caught that, did ya?" Leah was smart.

"Yeah, well, that big Emmett dude is sucking on his face, so that pretty much cinched it for me," Nathan nodded.

Emmett only had eyes for Nasir. "What are you doing here?"

"You are here," Nasir gave a shrug.

"That's so sweet," Emmett ran the back of his fingers along Nasir's scruffy jaw line. "I mean, you were in Singapore."

"I came back early to surprise you," Nasir gave him another soft kiss on his lips. "I do not like being apart from you."

Emmett started to put two and two together. "How long have you been back?"

"About fifteen minutes now," Nasir smiled. Emmett got it and looked to Seth and Garrett. The Cheshire cat grins that awaited him confirmed his suspicion. "How long have you two known about this?"

"I've been in communication with Nasir the whole time," Garrett was casual.

Emmett looked back to Nasir, "You never even hinted."

"I was texting with Garrett even when I was on the phone with you," Nasir was very pleased with himself.

"I bet it wasn't his cell in his hand when Emmett was talking to Nasir," Seth quipped. Everyone found that very funny.

"C'mon, meet everybody," Emmett took Nasir's hand. "You know Edward."

"Yes, hello, Edward. Nice to see you again," Nasir extended his hand.

"You too. Welcome back," Edward said as they shook.

"This is Garrett's brother Justin and his wife Melinda," Emmett continued.

"Hey, guy," Justin stepped forward with a friendly hand.

"I do see the resemblence," Nasir observed as they shook. He did not offer his hand to Melinda. In his culture, you did not touch another man's wife. In fact, it would have been very strange to even be introduced to her at all. Being with gay men was completely natural to Nasir as he had been only around men from the time he was ten years old. The couple of occasions they had socialized with Seth's very open and progressive sister took, for Nasir, quite some getting used to. He made every effort to adapt to what he considered to be his new culture. Nasir turned a warm smile on Justin's wife, but that was all. "Melinda, very nice to meet you."

"Nice to finally meet you, Nasir," Melinda said. "I've heard good things."

"I hope they are true," Nasir gave a nod.

"This is Maggie and Rosalie," Emmett continued. Nasir smiled and waved, but again did not approach them or offer his hand. The girls smiled sweetly and Maggie changed the music she played on the baby grand to something more exotic.

Leah approached Emmett and Nasir with her two toys in tow. She walked right up to Nasir, who still held Emmett's hand and gently took his chin in her hand. "Welcome home, cutie," Leah stretched to give him a kiss on his lips. Everyone could see Nasir was completely taken aback. Leah loved that she could shock him.

"Hello, Leah. Nice to see you again," Nasir was polite. He really did like Seth's sister, even though he never knew what to make of her.

"These are my boys," Leah continued. "This one is Frankie and that one is Nate."

"They're Garrett's boys," Seth put in.

"You make me sound like a madame," Garrett protested.

"They might have been Garrett's boys when they walked in here, little brother, but they're my boys now," Leah spoke with confidence. Both straight guys snickered. They very much liked how that sounded. Juan approached with a flute of champagne and another tray of hors d'oeuvres.

"The little quiches have bacon in them," Emmett spoke softly as he released Nasir's hand.

"I am actually famished," Nasir confessed as he took a little toasted baguette slice with salmon, capers and dill.

"Everyone, the pre-show is finishing. It's time for the awards," Garrett orchestrated. "Grab a ballot. You can win this beautiful Baccarat crystal figure here on the piano. We can all be comfortable in the media room."

There were soft and inviting upholstered chairs and settees arranged into little conversation areas all with good views of the very large screen. Juan and his fellows continued to serve drinks and finger foods as the awards show went on. Garrett, Seth, Justin and Melinda all made it a point to sit with someone other than their partner to foster new conversation. Emmett and Nasir, just re-united, would not be parted. Edward and Seth sat with them. Leah and her toys were joined by Justin. Garrett sat with Melinda, Maggie and Rosalie.

"Sorry about my sister back there, Nasir," Seth was kind. "Really she's harmless."

"It's okay, Sethy," Nasir patted his nearby knee. "I really like Leah. It will just take me some time to get used to being close and open with a woman. In my country that would never happen."

Edward could not let that go. "He calls you Sethy?"

"Yes, he does on occasion," Seth confirmed. "But don't you try it."

Edward just held up his hands and tried very hard to stifle his giggle. "Actually, I need to run to the restroom. Excuse me, guys," Edward set his glass down on a side table as he rose and walked away.

"He's probably gonna go do one of my waiters," Seth mused. "So, tell me about Singapore."

"It is a nice city," Nasir began. "It sits right on the equator so it is hot and really very humid."

"What is this business about relcamated land?" Seth asked. "Emmett tried to explain it, but I don't think he gets it either."

"Reclamated land is land that has been re-claimed from the ocean," Nasir stated.

"I know what it is, but what was the big problem?" Seth probed further. "Is it hard to build on that kind of land?"

"Land is land. The problem is that the Chinese won't do business on reclamated land unless very special conditions are met," Nasir explained. "The building must be built in a very specific way, but to give you some simple examples; the windows have to be octagonal and must always have a mirror facing them. Something about evil spirits. It's all pretty superstitious, but they take it very seriously."

"Everyone has their thing I guess," Emmett was easy.

"Land re-claimed from the ocean," Seth thought out loud. "That seems presumptuous. What happens when the ocean wants it back?"

"Singapore is a small island. About half of what there is today was re-claimed from the ocean," Nasir stated.

"I would love to see it. I've never been overseas," Seth commented.

"Not me," Emmett shook his head. "I have no desire to go there. What a terribly long flight that is."

Nasir looked to Emmett with hurt in his eyes. "It is further to the Emirates. Does that mean you will never come to my homeland with me?"

"Oh, Nasi," Emmett took his hand. "I would love to see your homeland with you. I just meant that I have no desire to visit Singapore. I would go anywhere with you, Baby," Emmett leaned over and gave Nasir a loving kiss on his lips.

"I would like very much to show you my country," Nasir looked to Seth. "You too, Sethy. I would like to take the four of us. That would be great fun."

"I'm up for that. I'll talk to Garrett," Seth agreed.

"I like to fly British Airways. Maybe we could stop in London on the way? It would break up the long journey," Nasir suggested.

"Sounds good to me," Emmett agreed.

"Jasper has friends in London. Maybe they could show us the sights," Seth added.

"Yeah. Good idea. What's a good time to go?" Emmett asked.

"Not in the summer. You wouldn't be able to take the heat. In the fall would be best," Nasir gave a nod.

"Let's make that happen, Nasi," Emmett squeezed his hand. "I would really like to do that," he looked to his best friend. "And I would love it if you and Garrett were with us, Seth. Do you think Garrett will like this idea?"

Seth turned his head and casually ran his fingers through his long silken hair. "You know Garrett doesn't say no to me."

Across the room, Garrett put his hand on Maggie's arm. "It was awfully sweet of you to play, but I hope you didn't think we expected it of you. You are a guest here tonight."

"I play because I like to," Maggie smiled and shrugged.

"I think she enjoyed getting her hands on your instrument, Garrett," Rosalie said. "But who wouldn't." Rosalie continued while Melinda laughed and Maggie blushed, "I really love what you guys have done with the place. I thought it was fabulous when I first showed it to you."

"Well, you remember this room needed help," Garrett began. "We completely updated the kitchen and the master bath. You should go take a look before you go."

"I will make a point to do that," Rosalie confirmed. "You and Seth were my very favorite clients. I should have all gay clients."

"Were Garrett and Seth your first gay clients," Maggie asked.

"No, actually, and some queens can be bitchy, but most have the double income with no kids ability to buy in the market I specialize in," Rosalie stated.

"And you were a delight, Rosalie. You made the whole process so easy. I would never use another realtor and I recommend you to everyone," Garrett smiled.

When Edward finally returned after his long absence he quite casually flopped down in his chair and snatched up his champagne as he did so. Seth, Emmett and Nasir just watched him silently as he drained his flute and gave a sigh. Seth narrowed his gaze. Edward was just a little too relaxed.

"What?" Edward asked.

"Edward, you know I am the last person who would ever have a problem with this," Seth began, "but, does one of my staff, Juan probably, have Cullen on his chin?"

"No!" Edward gave his slightly embarrassed grin. "Juan swallowed all of it."

Right on cue Juan arrived with a chilled bottle wrapped in a white linen cloth. "More champagne, gentlemen?"

"If you're not too busy," Seth held out his glass.

"Not at all, sir," Juan said with a smile. "I'm happy to serve your guests."

"You serve them quite well, it seems," Seth took a sip. Juan turned to Edward who also held out his glass.

"My pleasure, sir," Juan poured for Edward. He filled Emmett and Nasir's glasses as well before going to fetch another bottle.

"You know, Edward just got me thinking about this," Emmett confessed. "It used to be nothing for me to go a week without sex. I was never into just hooking up," he looked to Nasir. "But right now I'm so horny I could just jump on you."

"Why do you think I came back early?" Nasir agreed.

"I think I might like to see that," Seth smiled.

"Yeah, guys, don't let us stop you," Edward added.

"That's what I'm gonna do, Seth. Sit on Nasir right here in the middle of your party," Emmett scoffed. Nasir subtly moved the edge of his bisht to cover his lap. This did not escape Seth's notice.

"Stop it. You're making Nasir hard," Seth said casually and took a sip of his champagne.

"Yeah, Baby?" Emmett's eyes lit up. He moved his hands to his own lap. "Shit, now I am too."

"I know where there's a very convenient bathroom," Edward quipped.

"Garrett wanted such an elegant evening. I mean, look at how I'm dressed," Seth gave a sigh. "We should have just hosted an orgy."

At the end of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Awards, dinner was served in the formal dinning room. Samples of the exact menu Wolfgang Puck had created for the Governor's Ball had been painstakingly duplicated. The portions were kept moderate as everyone had been nibbling all evening. When the ballots were tabulated Rosalie won the Baccarat crystal figurine and promptly presented it to Maggie. Coffee was served in the living room which brought them back to where the evening began.

Justin had elected more beer in place of coffee. He leaned back in his chair and rubbed his full stomach. "Garrett, you always throw a classy party with good people, good food and good booze."

"All you drank all evening is beer," Garrett observed.

"You know what I mean," Justin waved.

"Looks like I'll be driving home again," Melinda stated.

"That's why I keep you around, Honey," Justin teased. He read the look on his wife's face. "Uh-oh."

"You know what, Justin," Melinda began. "Every single man in this penthouse is gonna get laid tonight," she raised a finger as she made her point, "except you."

"Oh, dear," Garrett rose. He did not at all want to be a part of this conversation.

"C'mon, Mel. Don't do me like that," Justin pleaded. Melinda rose and took her husband's chin in her hand.

"Justin, I'm not going to do you, at all," Melinda dropped her hand and turned to her brother in law. "Good night, Garrett," she kissed him on his cheek.

"Drive safe, Melinda," Garrett smiled.

"Night, Gar," Justin gave his brother a hug and clapped him on the back.

"Apologize to your wife, Justin. I hope you have a good night," Garrett bid. Seth had a kiss and hug for Melinda and slapped Justin's ass.

"Ah! That little Injun got me again!" Justin complained as he followed his wife.

"Stop calling him that," Melinda complained as they disappeared into the entry hall. The two men in their impeccable morning coats stood side by side. Garrett looked to his partner as he took his hand.

"Does it bother you when Justin calls you that?" Garrett asked. "I know you've never said anything or complained, but I will not have anyone insult you in your own home. If that bothers you-"

"Not at all, Honey. Your brother is great fun. He's just playing. It's very sweet of you to be concerned, though. Thank you for loving me so much," Seth stretched up to give his lover a kiss on his lips. Garrett brought a hand to Seth's face.

"Never thank me for that," Garrett was firm. "It is no more than you deserve."

Emmett and Nasir walked up to their hosts and closest friends hand in hand.

"We're gonna take off too, guys," Emmett began. "I'm about to go completely crazy. If I don't get this guy downstairs right now, I'm gonna do him on the baby grand."

"Quick! Lock the door!" Seth laughed. "That would be a great show."

Garrett put his arm around his precocious partner. "We completely understand. You two make a very cute couple. Go. Be together."

"I love you, Crazy," Emmett grabbed Seth in a tight hug.

"I love you too, Emmy. Go do your man," Seth bid.

"Garrett, thank you so much for helping me arrange my surprise," Nasir embraced the first man with whom he had ever developed a close friendship.

"Only too happy to help, my friend," Garrett hugged him tightly.

"Garrett," Emmett said as they switched. "I know I've said this like a hundred times, but I'm so glad you found Seth."

"Your gladness will never exceed my own, Emmett. And not just for Seth. Like I told Nasir the day I met him, you two are a package deal and I wouldn't have it any other way," Garrett was genuine.

"Aw, Garrett," Emmett gave a crushing hug to the man still in his arms.

"Uh! My God, you can be a brute!" Garrett exclaimed.

"If you dislocate my man's shoulder, Mary, I'll slap you so hard, you'll get a speeding ticket in Denver!" Seth warned. He took hold of Nasir and pushed him toward Emmett. "Take your big brute home and fuck him stupid."

Emmett and Nasir both laughed and headed for the door hand in hand.

Edward strode from the kitchen and through the dinning room folding a piece of paper as he went. Maggie and Rosalie converged on him just as he shoved it into his pocket.

"Edward, I swear if that is a phone number you just put in your pocket, you are in so much trouble," Maggie began.

"How do you know it's not a recipe? Did you ever think of that?" Edward asked. Rosalie burst out laughing.

"It's possible," Edward protested.

"You are a dog, Edward Cullen," Maggie turned and headed for their hosts.

"Maggie, it was so lovely of you to play," Garrett took her hands. "Thank you so much for coming."

"Goodnight, Garrett, Seth," Maggie gave them each a kiss on the cheek, as did Rosalie.

"Great party, guys," Edward gave a hug to both men.

"Did you find the service to your liking?" Seth teased.

"Oh, most agreable, yes. Very much so," Edward gave his trademark Cullen grin as he snickered. "Goodnight."

Garrett looked to Seth. "There is clearly something I don't know." His train of thought was interrupted by the Leah and her retinue. The dark beauty trailed her new boys who looked more than ready to share.

"Garrett, thanks for taking such good care of my baby brother," Leah gave him a hug.

"He takes very good care of me," Garrett stated. "Frankie, Nathan," Garrett had handshakes for his subordinates. "Glad you could make it."

"So are we, man," Frankie had lust plain in the eyes he could not take away from Leah.

"I love you, little brother," she gave him a hug and kiss.

"I love you too," Seth patted her butt. "Now take your toys home."

Seth and Garrett walked to the front doors and stood by until the elevator closed on the lady and her drooling men. Garrett closed both front doors and took Seth in his arms.

"I think our party was a success," Garrett rested his cheek on the top of Seth's head. Seth wrapped his arms around his lover's trim waist.

"Everything you do is a success," Seth pressed his face to his man's chest.

"Right now, what I want to do, is get you out of your morning coat, Mr. Clearwater," Garrett pulled back to look Seth in the face.

"I can guarantee you'll be successful at that too," Seth smiled. Garrett grew serious. He moved Seth's long hair aside with gentle fingers and took Seth's face in his hands.

"Thank you," Garrett said softly.

"For what, Honey?" Seth was warm.

"I know this outfit is not at all to your taste, but you wore it anyway without complaint. For me. I love you," Garrett was sincere.

"So how about I get to pick out our Halloween costumes?" Seth negotiated. "And I love you too."

"You know I can't say no to you. I hope I won't be sorry," Garrett said with a grin.

"I already have some great ideas. You're gonna look so hot," Seth was enthused.

"I don't suppose you'll tell me what you have in mind?" Garrett asked.

"Nope," Seth confirmed.

"Alright," Garrett let go of his lover. "Let me go pay the staff and send them on their way."

"Hurry, please. I have a man to eat alive," Seth shrugged out of his coat as he headed for the bedrooms.


The door to Emmett's condo flew open with a bang. Nasir's bisht swirled around him as Emmett pulled him inside and slammed the door. Emmett used his formidable strength to push Nasir up against the wall and attacked his mouth. Nasir reached inside Emmett's jacket to hold onto his ribs as the man's tongue forced it's way inside his mouth.

"Mmm!" Nasir very much liked aggressive Emmett. Emmett reached up and pulled the ghutra and it's related items off of Nasir's head and threw it over his shoulder before he broke the kiss.

"You have been just standing and sitting next to me all evening looking so unbelievably sexy!" Emmett panted in Nasir's face. He began to unbutton Nasir's white vest. "God, just look at you! I love you dressed like this," he finished with the vest and pulled Nasir's white tux shirt out of his pants as he began on those buttons. Emmett pressed his hips into Nasir to grind their erections together.

"I want you too," Nasir grabbed Emmett's head in both hands and pulled him in for another scorching kiss. Emmett in no way resisted. Nasir let go of Emmett's head and tried to push his suit jacket off the broad shoulders. Emmett sucked on Nasir's bottom lip and bit down, not hard enough to hurt him, but hard enough to demonstrate how serious he was. Emmett pulled back when he unbuttoned the tux shirt all the way save the very top button beneath the yet intact white bow tie.

"Oh, yeah," Emmett spread the shirt as wide open as possible and ran his hands up Nasir's trimmed, yet furry chest. He could not resist and bent his head to latch onto Naisr's right nipple.

"Umm," Nasir put his head back against the wall and ran his fingers through Emmett's short dark hair as the man nipped, licked and sucked on his nipple. Emmett grabbed hold of the erection straining through Nasir's black pants. He lifted his head from Nasir's chest.

"I need you naked right now," Emmett began to back toward the living room pulling Nasir along with him.

"Wait, wait, Emmett!" Nasir grabbed Emmett's arm just in time to stop him from falling backwards over the large suitcase that yet stood right where the driver set it down.

"Oh, shit," Emmett looked as he bumped up against it. "Seth let you in."

"Yes," Nasir confirmed.

"I never saw him leave, that sneaky little shit," Emmett shook his head. "And actually, I have something for you. Come with me," Emmett pulled Nasir along by the hand into the master bedroom. "Look on your night stand."

"My night stand?" Nasir asked.

"This is your side of the bed, so I think of this one as your night stand," Emmett sat down on the bed on Nasir's side. Nasir walked over with his shirt hanging out and open. There before him lay a swipe card and a shiny new key. Nasir picked them up and turned to Emmett with his mouth open. He knew exactly what they were.

"Oh, Emmett," Nasir did not know what to say.

"I went and got those made the day after you left. I want you to feel welcome here. I have a key to the hotel room. I want you to be able to come and go as you please," Emmett reached to rub Nasir's leg. "I want you to feel like you belong here, with me."

Nasir knelt on the floor between Emmett's legs. "Emmett, this means so much to me. I had a lot of time to think while I was away, especially on those long flights, and I realized something," Nasir set the card and key down and took Emmett's hands in his. "This, relationship, that we have is so new to me, but I know what feels right," he put his hand on his chest. "I know what I feel in here. I did not truly know, until I was parted from you. When you were not there beside me at night, it became so clear to me. I wish to be with you always. I love you."

"Oh, Nasi!" Emmett leaned to grab him in a tight hug. "I've been waiting to say that to you!" Emmett pulled back and took Nasir's face in his hands. "I love you. I do," Emmett gave Nasir several soft, loving kisses and hugged him again.

"You are my habibi," Nasir said. "I am going to call you habibi!" Nasir was most pleased.

"What does that mean?" Emmett asked. Nasir pulled back to look into Emmett's eyes.

"It means, beloved," Nasir beamed.

"I love that," Emmett smiled. He grew more serious. "Now will you please get out of these damn clothes!" They reached for each other's ties at the same time. Just that one button was all that was left on Nasir's shirt. The shirt, vest and bisht all went off his shoulders at the same time and fell to the floor in a heap. Emmett quickly shed his jacket and shirt. Nasir put his hands on the large solid mounds of Emmett's pecs. Emmett allowed himself to be pushed onto his back. Nasir nuzzled into the crotch of Emmett's dress pants as he undid the belt. The big trapped erection was more than obvious. Nasir unbuttoned and unzipped Emmett's pants. He looked up with unbridled lust in his eyes as he took hold of the waistband of the pants and boxers. Emmett lifted his hips and Nasir pulled them down and off Emmett's legs. The big dick flopped onto Emmett's rippled abdomen. Emmett was left wearing only his socks as Nasir ran his hands up the muscular thighs.

"You are so beautiful," Nasir leaned down to give a wet kiss on each testicle in their smooth sac. He trailed like kisses up Emmett's prominent cum tube and the big cock jumped under his lips.

"Oh, Nasi. That feels good," Emmett reached down to rub Nasir's forearms. Nasir took hold of Emmett's big cock and held it up. He gave a slurping kiss on the snake's exposed head and took it in his mouth.

"Ugh," Emmett felt the warm sensual embrace of his lover's mouth around him. "Oh, shit," his bone sank down his lover's throat. Emmett grabbed his lover's head and just held him in place for a moment. "Ugh." Emmett then tried to sit up, "Nasi, no, no, no," he pulled Nasir's mouth up and off of his engorged pole.

"What?" Nasir looked up at Emmett. "I want to suck you."

"I want you naked with me," Emmett stated.

"I love to be naked with you, Habibi," Nasir smiled.

"Then get naked with me, right now!" Emmett cried. Nasir stood up and quickly dropped his dress pants and underwear. They both pulled their socks off and Emmett pulled down the bed.

"Lay down on me," Emmett laid in the center of the bed and opened his arms. Nasir was only too eager to comply. He carefully positioned his hard on next to Emmett's with his hips and then laid down fully on his lover.

"Oh, yeah," Emmett wrapped his strong arms around Nasir's back. They opened their mouths to each other in a passionate, but much more gentle kiss. Emmett closed his eyes as the man he held probed his mouth. He loved the feel of his lover's tongue on his own. Nasir broke the kiss and lifted his face only slightly.

"Did it work?" Nasir gazed very closely into the crystal blue eyes.

"Did what work?" Emmett asked.

"My kiss. You told me in Vegas if I continued to kiss you like that you would be mine forever," Nasir stated. Emmett loved the feel of his lover's breath on his face as he spoke. He smiled up at the man he held.

"Nasi, that worked a long time ago," Emmett lifted his head slightly to kiss Nasir again. Nasir moved his hips slowly to rub together the organs that were trapped between their bodies.

"I need your cock in my mouth," Nasir attempted to rise, but Emmett held him fast.

"I need your cock in my mouth," Emmett said.

"No, I need your cock back in my mouth now," Nasir protested and tried to get up again, and again to no avail.

"But I'm bigger and stronger than you, so what makes you think you're gonna get your way, sexy Arab guy? Huh?" Emmett kissed Nasir on the tip of his nose. Nasir laid his head down on Emmett's shoulder and nuzzled into his neck.

"Please can I suck you now?" Nasir asked in a sweet voice.

"Aw. How can I say no when you ask so nice?" Emmett took hold of Nasir's torso and moved him to lay on his right side on the bed. He then moved himself around into a 69 position. "Now we can both get what we want," Emmett said as he scooted up close to his lover.

"Mmm," Nasir put his arm around Emmett as he nuzzled his face into the shaved scrotum. He kept his mouth closed as he rubbed his lips back and forth on Emmett's sac.

"Oh, shit!" Emmett took hold of Nasir's engorged bone. "I love the feel of your beard on my nuts! Damn," Emmett ran his tongue slowly through Nasir's moist slit. The Arab's head was half covered in his foreskin. Emmett pulled up slightly to roll Nasir's skin up to completely cover the snake's head.

"Ugh," Nasir lapped at Emmett's big stones as he felt his lover's tongue enter the sleeve of his foreskin. He gripped Emmett's solid butt check as Emmett's tongue moved on his sensitive head inside his skin. "Emmett, I love that." Nasir moved his hand to wrap it around Emmett's big dick and gave it a stroke. He watched the cowl roll up onto the python's head and a good quantity of precum welled up in the already wet slit. Nasir reached out with his tongue to wash it away even as it began to run down the engorged glans.

"Hmm. That's nice, Nasi," Emmett ran his tongue down his lover's cum tube.

"Ugh," Nasir's entire body gave a flinch as his partner's tongue ran down his cock. Nasir fastened his lips around the big joint in his hand and sucked it into his mouth. Emmett felt Nasir take him to the back of his throat.

"Huh," Emmett moaned and went down on Nasir's cock. Nasir slowly and lovingly moved his mouth up and down the thick post as he began to suck Emmett. Emmett drew his mouth along his lover's bone and massaged Nasir's shaft with his lips as he did so. At this angle it was easy and Emmett buried Nasir's pole down his throat until his nose pressed into the trimmed sac.

"Hmm!" Nasir felt Emmett swallow every inch of him and pulled his mouth off of Emmett's leaking mast. "Oh, Allah!" Nasir put a hand to the back of his lover's head. "Emmett, don't do that," Nasir bid. His eyes went wide as Emmett gave him a couple short very deep sucks. "Ugh! No, don't do that. I'll come too fast."

Emmett took hold of his partner's luscious cock as he slowly drew his mouth up and off of it. "I want to come together."

"I do too," Nasir agreed. He slowly stroked the big spike in his hand.

Emmett gave a grin. "Then take my dick back in your mouth and don't take it out no matter what. Okay?"

"You are a devil," Nasir shook his head. Without breaking eye contact Emmett snaked out his tongue and licked the throbbing serpent across it's drooling eye.

"Okay?" Emmett asked again with one raised eyebrow. In answer Nasir took Emmett back in his mouth. Emmett did the same. Both men's bodies gave a jump as they took each other down their throats. Emmett ran his fingers into Nasir's furry ass crack and Nasir copied him. Emmet drew his mouth up his lover's joint just enough to catch a quick breath through his nose.

"Umm," Emmett moaned as his lover's middle finger began to massage his hole. He moved his hand to Nasir's scrotum and began to massage his lover's testicles as he began to suck the long prick in earnest. Nasir savored the taste of Emmett's precum as it leaked freely into his mouth. He whimpered around Emmett's big cock as the sucking mouth drove him faster toward orgasm. Emmett continued to massage his lover's stones in thier tightening sac as his mouth rode Nasir's bone. Nasir could feel the unrestrained desire in the mouth that sucked him so expertly. Emmett raised his left leg and put his foot on the bed behind his right knee to give Nasir greater access.

"Mmm!" Emmett felt Nasir take all thick nine inches of him down his throat. Nasir rubbed his lover's hole while he took every bit of throbbing McCarty meat in his throat. Emmett increased the pace of his ministrations on Nasir's long cock as Nasir gave short siphoning sucks on him. Emmett's big balls pulled up tight to his body and his muscles grew stiff as his lover siphoned his cum from his body. Nasir no longer tried to breathe through his nose as his lover wantonly sucked his throbbing dick. Emmett enjoyed the taste of his lover's sweet precum. Nasir tried to hold his body still as he neared his climax. Emmett did not attempt to hold Nasir still as his lover began to thrust into his mouth. Nasir continued to siphon Emmett's big cock and the stronger man shivered on the edge of orgasm. Emmett squeezed his eyes shut as he sucked harder on the organ that pumped into his mouth. Nasir drew his mouth slowly up his lover's straining joint just far enough to catch a much needed breath of air and sank back down. This was too much for Emmett and pushed him over the edge.

"Gumph!" Emmett cried out around the thrusting weapon in his mouth as he blew out. Nasir felt the big cock harden further as it exploded in his mouth. He gripped his lover's tighter as thick warm semen flooded his mouth. Nasir knew to suck his lover through his orgasm and gulped down the strong spunk as it gushed into his mouth. Nasir no longer tried to hold back and thrust into Emmett's throat as he drank his lover's jizz. Emmett had the wit to clutch his lips to the hard jabbing organ. The scent and taste and feel as his lover unloaded in his mouth was too much for Nasir. His legs shook as he crashed over the edge.

"Hmmph!" Nasir sucked his lover's spewing cock as he erupted in Emmett's mouth. Emmett knew to hold his mouth still on Nasir as he came. He grasped Nasir's furry butt and pulled his lover down his throat. Nasir no longer thrust as he came. His entire body trembled as he drank Emmett's thick cream and his weapon rapid fired directly into Emmett's throat. Emmett held his lover's shaking body as he spurted into Nasir's mouth and Nasir's pulsing bone shot down his throat. Nasir took his hand from Emmett's ass and wrapped it around the yet throbbing pole. He used his hand with his mouth to milk his lover of every precious drop of his essence. Emmett's body began to relax as he just oozed into his lover's worshipful mouth. Emmett could not take a breath with the yet twitching shaft in this throat, nor did he want one. Nasir eventually realized he was choking his lover with his still hard prick and pulled back until only his head rested in Emmett's mouth. He just held Emmett's yet hard bone and laid his head down on his arm with just Emmett's head in his mouth.

The room was filled with the sound of panting as both men came down from their orgasms with the head of their cocks still in each other's mouths.

"Hmm," Emmett nursed on Nasir's still oozing meat.

"Mmm," Nasir ran his tongue around Emmett's exposed head. Emmett at last pulled his well used and well satisfied mouth off of his lover's long spear.

"That was nice, Nasi. I loved that," Emmett rested his head on his lover's hairy inner thigh. Nasir moved his head to look down at Emmett with the head of his cock still in his mouth and raised an eyebrow. Emmett saw this and gave a laugh as he remembered his earlier instruction.

"You can take my dick out of your mouth now," Emmett reached a hand to his lover's face. Nasir pulled his mouth off of Emmett's big bone slowly and reverently.

"Allah, but I love the taste of your cum," Nasir said as he rolled onto his back. Emmett took a moment longer to recover and then moved around to lay across Nasir's chest.

"You don't lay on me very often. I like it," Nasir said as he wrapped his arms around the strong back.

"Am I too heavy?" Emmett was concerned and lifted his head.

"You are very heavy, but I love it," Nasir pulled Emmett's head back down on his shoulder.

"I love you, Nasi," Emmett spoke softly. "Thank you for coming home to me and telling me that you love me. I can't tell you what that means to me."

"Emmett, I will always come home to you and tell you that I love you," Nasir tightened his arms around his lover. "Always, Habibi. I love you so much. Thank you for showing me what love is."

Emmett lifted his head and gave Nasir a soft and loving kiss on his lips. He ran his hand through Nasir's short black hair as he gazed into his soft brown eyes. "This was nice, but you know what?"

"What, Habibi?" Nasir spoke quietly.

"That's not how I want to welcome you home. I want you inside me. That's the proper way to welcome my lover home," Emmett spoke.

Nasir smiled as he considered. "Well, if you give me a few more mintues, I'm certain I can accomodate you."

"You have to be tired after flying all day. How about you fuck me in the morning?" Emmett asked. Nasir reached a hand down to Emmett's round ass.

"How about you try to stop me in the morning," Nasir gripped a firm cheek. Emmett gave a laugh. He rolled off of Nasir and pulled the sheet and blanket over them. Nasir reached to switch off the lamp and they snuggled into each other's arms to sleep.


Emmett and Nasir stayed at the condo the next night as well, and the night after that. A month later, Emmett had not set foot in the Four Seasons and Nasir only went there to work during the day. Emmett suggested that Nasir give up the suite and just move in with him. He was practically living there anyway. It was the happiest day of Nasir's life. Nasir had the spare bedroom remodeled into a study/library with bookshelves lining the walls and two matching desks in the center of the room together facing each other, all in the same dark dark wood. He also added a sofa bed for those occasions when Emmett might have family visit. As soon as that room was completed, Nasir gave up the hotel suite.

The next day Nasir went and bought himself a very expensive Mercedes Benz. Emmett had two parking spaces in the underground garage with his two bedroom condo. If he was going to live here, he should have a car. Nasir spent the whole of the day after that at the Washington State Department of Licensing. He took his written test and driving test, had his picture taken, filled out a dozen forms and paid his fees. When he received the actual license in the mail he showed it to everyone who would look, like a new father with a picture of his child.

A month later Nasir sat on a bar stool at the kitchen breakfast bar watching Emmett cook, and thumbed through the mail that Emmett had picked up on his way home. There was the bill for the house payment. Nasir asked Emmett if he could take care of the house payment. Emmett was distracted and said if he wanted to do that, it would be fine. Emmett thought Nasir meant that month's house payment. Nasir paid off the mortgage.
