CHAPTER TWO – What he can't have

Chapter Notes:

The new intern

Story:

Domestic life was a comfortable place for Lindsay and Brian. They were used to their day-to-day routine. They'd take turns caring for Gus, so that the other could go out and meet with friends or pursue relations of one kind or another. Sometimes Lindsay would date a gal and spend the night, but she hadn't really met anyone special.

There was a legal issue that came up at the Gay and Lesbian Center involving someone who had slipped on a rug. It was a nuisance suit, really, but had to be followed through to protect the Center. Lindsay met with a lawyer named Melanie Marcus that the Center had on their mailing list. She was willing to take the case pro bono and was a great help. She eventually got the case thrown out after reviewing the history of the claimant on other similar suits he'd filed.

Melanie asked Lindsay out for coffee and then they made a date for dinner. The two hit it off and were attracted to each other right away. Brian was introduced to 'Mel' and they chatted for a bit one night while Lindsay finished getting ready for a date. Mel thought the marriage was very unusual. As her feelings for Lindsay grew stronger, Mel saw Brian as a threat to the two women developing anything more serious. As much as he saw that the lady lawyer was good for Lindsay, he also had a hard time getting along with Mel. There was growing tension between them.

Justin occasionally babysat for Gus when Lindsay needed someone to pick him up from school. The usual sitter wasn't available until after 5 pm. Gus enjoyed Justin immensely and the two developed a strong bond. Once, Gus asked his father if Justin could come over to play.

"Trust me, Sonny Boy; I would love nothing more than to have Justin over to play. But it's just not that easy."

One day Lindsay asked Justin to pick Gus up from school and watch him until Brian got home from work. Justin agreed, but then his car wouldn't start so he asked his mom to give him a ride to Gus's school and then to the Kinney house. She agreed and was happy to meet the 'little man' that Justin had been sitting for. She gave them a ride to the house, but had to take off for a real estate showing. Justin told her that Lindsay or Brian could give him a ride home later.

Brian arrived home that evening and found Justin and Gus finger painting on the back patio. Gus started to run to his dad, but Justin stopped him.

He said, "Oh, no, Gus! You'll ruin your dad's clothes. Let's go wash up. We're done painting for today anyway. C'mon."

Brian appreciated the save move by the blond and mouthed the words Thank You to him.

Gus protested. "Awww, Justin! We were just having so much fun."

The young babysitter wouldn't take no for an answer and was washing his hands and Gus's when Lindsay arrived home. He explained that he needed a ride home, so Brian offered to drive him while his wife started dinner. Justin agreed, although he was a little uncomfortable being alone with Brian.

As the Jeep made its way to Justin's house, Brian said, "Gus really likes you and you're very good with him. You can have fun finger painting, but be firm when he needs it like when he needed to wash up." He smiled. "Thanks, by the way, for saving my Armani suit."

"It looks expensive. I hated to see it ruined."

Brian smiled. He had something that he'd meant to ask Justin about. "You know, my ad agency is looking for an art department summer intern. Would you be interested?" Brian relished the idea of having Justin around the office. Maybe if I work on him all summer he'll give in to me.

Justin considered the offer. "Would I be able to work part time?"

"I suppose you could ask. Andy is in charge of the art department. I'll have him give you a call tomorrow and maybe you can come in for an interview. Don't get me wrong, it is grunt work, pasting stuff onto art boards and things. But it might look good on a resume or a college application. Program your number into my cell phone. Lindsay is always the one calling you for babysitting. I don't have your number." He handed over his phone.

"Great. Thanks. I appreciate it." He put his number into Brian's phone. Justin was looking to get as much advantage for the prestigious PIFA art program as he could. The 1500 he got on his SAT's would help, too.

They arrived at Justin's mom's townhouse at dusk. There were a couple of streetlights on, but the street was pretty deserted. Brian got out of his Jeep and leaned up against it as he lit a cigarette. He silently offered Justin a cigarette, which he accepted. They stood and smoked for a while. Brian said, "If you get the job, then I might see you at the office then."

"Yeah. If that works out it will definitely look good on a college application."

"What kind of art do you see yourself studying in college?"

"I like sketching, pencil and paper, but painting interests me, too. I have so much to learn. I draw classmates, my friend Daphne, guys from school…"

"Any nude studies?"

Justin smiled. "Maybe some sketches based on photos or what I'd seen at the locker room at school. Not much."

"Well, if you ever need a subject…" Brian smiled wryly and motioned his hands to indicate himself.

Justin put out his cigarette on the sidewalk. He imagined the man before him naked. He ran his hands from Brian's shoulders to his waist and down to the tops his thighs. Brian was surprised at the touch, but pleasantly so.

Brian said, "I can tell you're thinking about it." He wrapped his hands around Justin's waist and pulled their bodies together. He put his lips on Justin's and tongues danced. The young man had been resisting Brian up until now, but the thought of having him naked in front of him letting him draw him … and then any other events that that might lead to. All of those thoughts combined in his blond head and he found himself swept away by it all.

Brian had wanted to get closer contact with Justin for some time and this kiss was part of his fantasy come true. His lips are so sweet and his kiss is so hot. He had one hand behind the blond's head and his other hand squeezed his ass through his jeans. Such a perfect ass. I want to fuck him so bad.

After a while, Justin became concerned that someone in the townhouse might see them, so he stopped the kiss. He was panting from the excitement and had a bulge in his jeans. "I … I have to go now."

Brian, too, was breathing hard. "I want to fuck you. I'll take you to a motel and we can do it. I'm so fucking hot for you right now."

"No. Not just a motel. I … have to go in." Justin looked up and saw the porch light go on. "I really have to go. 'Bye."

Brian watched as Justin ran inside the townhouse.

Brian went to Babylon and found a trick to fuck. He imagined he was with Justin and rammed the trick to the wall. And as he came he yelled, "Justin!"

Things between Brian and Lindsay became a little tense at home. He was obviously frustrated at the domestic act he had to perform. Lindsay wanted more time with Mel. They tried not to fight around Gus, but sometimes he overheard them. They repeatedly assured him, though, that they loved him. The pretense, though, of loving each other was getting harder and harder to convey.

Justin started working part time for the summer at Vanguard, the ad agency where Brian worked. The aspiring art student pasted up art boards and made printouts for the art department. He'd work mornings and leave at lunch to be able to do art for his portfolio for school or babysit Gus.

Brian enjoyed having Justin around the office. They regularly had nine am coffee breaks together in Brian's office. There was some flirting, but they also enjoyed talking about various topics. They'd chat about the day to day business at Vanguard, or Gus, or any number of things. A couple of times they had lunch together in the office. Brian never made any moves on Justin at the office to leave things professional. After a brief encounter with a co-worker named Kip, Brian had learned his lesson. He didn't want to risk Justin's job or his own. He figured that slowly working himself closer to Justin would eventually let him achieve his goal of fucking him. Besides, he actually found that Justin's company was enjoyable and genuinely liked him.

Justin liked working at Vanguard and found the experience with the art department to be more educational than any class he had in high school. He also enjoyed getting to know Brian better. The older man's honesty was admirable. He had a funny, sarcastic way about him that Justin enjoyed trying to match. He found Brian to be very attractive, but couldn't imagine anything but a romantic bedroom scene for his first time. Those alley 'romances' were fine for Brian's needs, but not his own.
