"Well, what'cha lack in the kitchen, ya sure make up for in the bedroom," Jack jokingly yelled towards the kitchen as he finished putting on a fresh pair of clothes. Jack then headed down the hall to the kitchen. "So what're our choices for dinner?"
"Well," Ennis started as he looked in the fridge at their choices "we can throw somethin' on the barbecue, or we can have some a these TV dinners." Jack came up behind Ennis, putting his arms around his waist, peering over his shoulder at their choices.
"Them steaks look pretty damn good," Jack said as his stomach growled, realizing all they had to eat today were a couple of pieces of bacon for breakfast.
Ennis snatched them out of the refrigerator, turned around and gave Jack a quick kiss, then said "Well then, tha's what we'll have." Ennis opened the package, setting the steaks on a plate. He walked over to the fridge again, asking Jack, "Wanna beer?"
"Sure," Jack replied. Ennis handed him one, then got one for himself and grabbed the steaks. They both headed outside. Jack lit them both a cigarette as Ennis got the grill going. Ennis saw Jack holding a cigarette for him, and leaned towards Jack, with his mouth opened a bit, knowing Jack would pop the cigarette right in his mouth for him. Once Ennis got the grill going, they each took a seat on an old wooden bench, sitting by an even older looking picnic table.
Jack knew it would take awhile for the grill to warm up and they'd be just hanging around outside, so he figured he might as well use the opportunity to talk to Ennis some more about what the next few months would hold. He took a drag off his cigarette, then started the conversation he was dreading "Hey Ennis, I been meanin' to talk to you."
"'Bout what, darlin'?"
"Well, once I leave here, I'll prob'ly be gone for awhile. Gotta lotta stuff to take care of back home in Texas." Jack paused thinking Ennis would have something to say, but he stayed silent, a serious look on his face. So Jack continued, "I'm gonna have ta tell Lureen. Fuck. I'm goin' home after I been gone 2 damn weeks, and tell my wife I'm leavin' her and I wanna divorce."
Jack looked at Ennis, and their eyes locked. There were big changes, exciting changes waiting for them, but there would also be consequences. Other people's lives were going to painfully change, be torn apart and turned upsidedown. Ennis put his hand on Jack's knee. He knew Jack had a big mess waiting for him down in Texas. Things were going to get a hell of a lot worse before they got better.
"I know our marriage is far from perfect, but I don't imagine she's gonna take all this too well. She's gonna make this divorce as dirty an' ugly for me as possible, though cain't say as I blame her." Jack brought his hand down to Ennis's hand and held it, lacing their fingers together. "I ain't gonna fight her. She can have everythin'. The house, the business, our money, everythin'."
"All I want are my personal belongin's an' my truck. I got quite a bit a money set aside from all them commissions I made through the years from bringin' in business an' makin' all them sales." Jack paused for a moment, in deep thought. "Least I can do is let her have everythin' else. Fuck, I jus' want this over. And then there's Bobby. Now tha's a whole 'nother story..." Jack's voice trailed off as he stared off in the distance, seeing nothing.
"Jack, you want me to go with ya?"
Jack squeezed Ennis' hand, appreciating his offer "I'd love for you to come with me, but this is jus' somethin' I have to do on my own." Ennis seemed to understand. There wasn't much more Jack could say. They sat in silence for a few minutes, finishing their cigarettes.
On a lighter note, Jack changed the subject to something a little less depressing. "Well, the ranch up in Lightning Flats has a little house where my daddy's right hand man used to live. When I head up there tomorrow, I'll take a look at it and see what needs to be done. Figure I'll hire someone to fix the house up a bit 'fore we get up there. We can jus' live there 'til we build our own place."
Ennis was still a little concerned about how all this was going to work out. "Jack, you sure this is what you wanna do? I mean, I know you an' your dad don't get along so well. Might not be the most comfortable place for us to live."
"Don't you worry about me an' my dad. Damn, after puttin' up with Lureen's father, J.D. for almos' 20 years, this'll be like a vacation for me," Jack joked. His tone changed to a serious one as he looked at Ennis. "My dad ain't as bad as I make him out ta be. If he was, I sure as hell wouldn't go up there every year to help him out. He had a tough upbringin' an' a rough life. He done his best with me."
"An' as far as you thinkin' it'll be an uncomfortable place to live, shit Ennis, there's so much space up on that ranch, we probly won't even know my parents is even there, less we go lookin' for 'em." Jack smiled at Ennis, his blue eyes letting him know everything would be fine.
Ennis drew Jack's face near, kissing him gently. He pulled away, still cradling Jack's face with his hand. He rested his forehead on Jacks, and in a low voice said, "Jus' want ya to be happy."
"Ennis, yer all that's ever made me happy." Jack slid his hand between Ennis' legs, and took his mouth into his, kissing him deeply.
Ennis slowly pulled away, teasing Jack, "You're gonna hafta wait til after dinner."
"Well, if I have to wait, it better be good," Jack said with a smile.
Ennis just smiled as he headed over to the grill. He wanted tonight to be special. Ennis had always known just how much he loved Jack. He loved him more than anything in the world. And tonight was the night Ennis wanted to tell Jack, for the first time, that he loved him.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Since Ennis had made dinner, Jack figured the least he could do was clean up. He started rinsing off the dishes as Ennis went out to cover up the grill. Jack heard Ennis come back in, and close the front door as he scrubbed away at a plate. And before he knew it, Ennis was behind him, his arms around his waist, kissing his neck, pressing his erection hard against Jack's ass.
"Ennis..." Jack said leaning back into Ennis' kisses, getting hard almost instantly. Ennis continued kissing, pressing into Jack, one of his hands sinking under the waist of Jack's jeans. Ennis started stroking him as he let out a moan. Hearing Jack moan pushed Ennis over the edge.
Ennis grabbed Jack's shoulders and turned him around, grabbing the collar of his shirt with both hands, yanking him forward to his mouth, their lips crashing together like magnets. Jack took Ennis's face in his hands, trying in a desperate manner to kiss him as deeply as he could, his tongue delving deep into Ennis' mouth. Ennis pressed Jack into the counter, grinding his hard cock into Jacks.
Both men were breathing hard, Ennis reaching for Jack's buttons. They stammered down the hall, frantically undressing eachother, kissing, biting, grabbing, tripping over ripped off clothes. Ennis held Jack's face, kissing him hard, all the while pushing him closer towards the bed. Jack moaned deep into Ennis' mouth, wanting more, wanting more of him. Ennis shoved Jack back onto the bed, pouncing on him wildly, with no mercy.
Ennis laid on top of Jack, kissing him deeply, their hot tongues swirling, his hands grabbing Jack's hips hard, pressing and grinding their cocks together. Then going down to Jack's neck, kissing, sucking, teeth grazing his skin. Jack's fingers running through Ennis's hair, his eyes closed, moaning, drowning in Ennis's wet kisses. Their bodies pressed tightly together, moving, rubbing, sending drips of pleasure to the tips of their pounding cocks.
Ennis's pulled his mouth away from Jack's neck, and they looked deep into eachother's eyes, as their bodies continued to move together. Ennis stroked Jack's beautiful face with his hand, looking deep into the eyes of the man he loved. He then buried his face close to Jack, breathing in his scent, wrapping his arms tightly around and underneath Jack, holding him close, so close. Jack closed his eyes, holding onto Ennis for dear life, their bodies moving to a rhythm, like the beat of a heart.
The touching, the feeling, the holding, they were completely lost in one another. Ennis loving Jack so much in this moment that it hurt. Needing him closer, his skin, his scent, his mouth, his arms, everything. Feelings for Jack he couldn't hold in any longer.
He raised his head and through his misty eyes, he looked at Jack, his love, his life.
As their eyes locked and time stood still, those three beautiful words came pouring out of Ennis's mouth, straight from his heart.
"I love you, Jack."
"Oh, Ennis.." Jack whispered, completely choked up. "I love you."
Desperately, violently, they clung to eachother. Never had the need for each other been so strong. They needed to get closer, they had to get closer. Hot, searing lips, kisses of fire, hands wandering over sweaty bodies. Ennis rolling over, bringing Jack on top of him. Tongues burning, mouths sealed, moaning and pressing closer still. Jack going for Ennis' neck, finding the spot that made him moan.
"Oh, Jack," Ennis whimpered, trying to catch his breath, "take me, Jack."
Ennis needed to feel Jack inside him, inside his body. He needed Jack to make love to him. Ennis brought his legs up, wrapping them around Jack's waist. Jack positioned himself, spit in his hand, then pressed the tip of his cock to Ennis's opening. Ennis let out a loud moan as he felt Jack slowly enter his body. Jack pulled out, then shallowly entered him again, teasing Ennis' hole, only letting the head of his cock penetrate him. Ennis was breathing hard, letting Jack drive him crazy, just waiting, waiting for him to fuck him hard.
Jack knew what Ennis wanted. He gradually picked up the pace, each time sinking deeper and deeper into his hot, tight hole. Ennis grabbed Jack's ass, intensifying the thrusts, forcing Jack's dick even further up into his body. Their kissing was beyond wild. Devouring eachother's lips, showing no mercy. Rough and deep, teeth drawing blood. The fucking getting harder and deeper, the pleasure of it, forcing out noises and moans.
Jack lifted himself off Ennis, adjusting the thrusts until he found the spot. Ennis let out a cry as Jack repeatedly pounded into the spot, then angled himself so only the head of his cock was rubbing, rubbing, rubbing hard against that magic place deep inside Ennis.
Jack had Ennis so fucking hot, he could hardly breathe. He was so close, almost there. Jack reached down and grabbed Ennis' cock, squeezing and stroking in time with his powerful thrusts, fucking Ennis as hard as he could, with all his might. Pounding, thrusting, Jack's cock sliding in and out, in and out of Ennis's hole. And then Ennis came, so hard and so strong, Jack taking him higher than he had ever been. He let out a loud moan, clenching tightly to Jack as his pleasure emptied in waves into Jack's hand.
Ennis then grabbed Jack's ass again, and thrusted him one last time up into his body, and with that, Jack erupted, crying out Ennis's name. As the last spasm of his orgasm started to fade, Jack collapsed onto Ennis, worn and out of breath. Ennis held Jack as they slowly came down, stroking his hair.
Jack finally pulled out of Ennis and rolled on his back. Ennis handed Jack a towel so he could wipe off his hand. Ennis settled back on the pillows ready for sleep. "Come here, lil' darlin'," Ennis whispered as he held out his arm for Jack. Jack nestled in Ennis's arms, resting his head on his shoulder. They held eachother tightly, as they drifted off to sleep. There were no words. There was no noise.
Just Jack, Ennis and their incredible love for one another.
