Work of Art
Sunday morning, Steven woke up with two heads on his chest. They were connected at their foreheads. Steven glanced down and saw their fingers interlaced with each other. He thought of Jeremy and wondered if he woke up each morning with Elijah and Chris’ heads on his chest each morning. It brough him back to his discussion the prior morning with Chris and Jeremy about making love verses having sex. He thought about what he had experienced the past couple days. It had been a whirlwind of experiences, meeting new people, having the best sex of his young life and becoming friends with the most amazing and diverse people he could think of, especially after meeting the guys at the bar. It was uplifting to see how well Jerome and Taylor fit in with the others. He had become part of their family, but yet there was a small part of him that, after seeing Tim and Travis’ heads together and their fingers entwined, wished he could find that for himself. He refused to be depressed as he viewed his bed partners and instead smiled as he thought of Jeremy and Chris’ comments of them making love that morning. He could see in them the love they shared. He smiled at the revelation. He was both saddened and elated by it. This had been a weekend to remember, probably the best experience of his life, both sexually and spiritually. It gave him a lot to think about in the near future. He decided to enjoy the present for now. He felt movement and a hard cock press into his left hip. He noticed their fingers closing together then a hard cock press into his right hip. Then a giggle from both sides as they turned to look up into Steven’s eyes with amusement. Steven grinned down at them and said, “Good morning. I hoped you slept as well as I did. This was the best weekend of my life, thanks to you and the other guys. Tim and Travis both giggled and Travis grasped Steven’s hard cock. Tim moved up and kissed Steven while grinding his cock against Steven’s hip. Travis stroked Steven’s cock a few more times before putting his mouth on it. Steven gasped during their kiss and Tim figured his boyfriend had just engulfed his manhood. He smiled while continuing to kiss Steven. Then Tim broke their kiss, looked down at his boyfriend who winked back at him while his mouth worked up and down Steven’s rigid shaft. Tim looked back at Steven and asked him, “Want to try something you haven’t done before?” Steven gave him a wary look, “Like what?” Tim replied, “Remember the chain fuck we did Friday night? Want to try that with you in the middle?” Steven said, “You mean that I fuck one of you and the other one fucks me?” Tim said, “Yeah. What do you think?” Steven grinned and said, “I’d love to try that.” Travis heard his reply but he also tasted the reply for as soon as Tim suggested it to him, Travis received an extra amount of precum from Steven’s cock. Travis pulled off Steven’s cock and said, “You fucked Tim last night, so this time you can fuck me. That ok with you, Tim?” Tim said, “Sounds good to me. I enjoyed fucking Steven’s bubble-butt. Now I get to do it again.” Steven smiled at Tim’s description of his butt. Travis pulled out two condoms. The lube was already beside them. Steven surprised Tim as he bent down and began sucking his cock. He made sure it was nice and hard before he finally pulled off of it and grinned at him. As Steven rolled on a condom over Tim’s cock, Travis was doing the same to Steven. Then Steven lubed up his fingers on his right hand and began working one of them into Travis’ tight hole. As he did, Steven felt Tim working a finger inside his own tight rosebud. Once Travis and Steven were ready, Travis asked, “So, do you want me on my knees or on my back?” Steven thought about it for a moment, then said, “Maybe start off on your knees and then switch to your back. I’d like to feel myself against your cute butt, but I also want to see your face when you cum.” Travis said, “I like that idea of looking into your eyes as you fuck me, and when you cum.” Tim smiled when he heard that. Travis got on hands and knees and Steven moved up behind him. He positioned the head of his cock to Travis’ pucker and pressed forward. Travis, eager to get Steven inside him pushed back and suddenly gasped, “Oh! Ok, slowly now!” Steven was surprised when Travis pushed back and hadn’t planned on entering him so quickly, “Sorry, you caught me off guard when you pushed back.” Travis said, “Yeah, my fault. I’m ready for more though, just go slow.” Steven pushed further inside while trying to gauge Travis’s reaction, but soon found his pubes pressed tightly against Travis’ firm buns. Steven asked, “Are you ok? I’m all the way inside you.” Travis said, “More than ok. Fuck me, Steven.” Steven tugged outward halfway and then slowly slid back in until pressed against Travis’ buns again, He continued until he felt the tip of Tim’s cock pressing at his own tight rosebud. He pressed fully into Travis, then glanced back at Tim and nodded that he was ready. Tim took his time and as the head of his cut cock broke through the tight ring, waited. Steven had grunted, but then said, “I’m ok. You can put more in me.” Tim did, and slowly sank his cock inside Steven’s love canal until he was pressed against his fine buns. Tim moved in and out a few times before telling Steven, “Ok, Steven, now fuck Travis and yourself at the same time. It’s all you now.” Steven tugged back until he was pressed against Tim’s blond pubes and pelvic bone, then moved forward fully into Travis. It was a weird feeling like nothing he had experienced before, almost like he was fucking himself, except for the moans of pleasure coming from the two guys in front and behind him. He was loving it, and began speeding up as he felt Tim’s cock drag over his love nut on each tug backward and each push forward. They were grunting and moaning in pleasure. Tim grunted, “This is freaking fire!” At one point, Tim thought he heard something and looked toward the bedroom door. It was still closed and he figured it was just the house settling. Steven was lost in pleasure as he soon found himself getting close, then realized he’d wanted to finish with Travis on his back. He stopped, “Travis, could you flip onto your back?” Travis pulled off of Steven’s cock and flipped onto his back, then pulled his legs up. Steven moved forward and re-entered Travis and stared into his eyes as Tim began sliding his cock back inside Steven. As Steven began rocking his hips, he realized Tim’s cock was hitting different spots than it was before. Travis reached for his precum drooling cock and began stroking it as Steven said, “I’m getting close.” Tim said, “Me too.” Then Travis cried out, “Fuck! I’m cumming!” A rope of cum shot from Travis’ cock, hitting him in the chin. Steven yelled, “I’m really close.” As Travis showered his chest and abs in cum, Steven pulled back tightly against Tim, and sliding his cock from Travis. He pulled off the cock in a rapid and clumsy fashion and almost immediately began shooting ropes of cum onto Travis, including his cock, balls and still-winking hole. Steven’s anal muscles pulsing around Tim’s cock took him over the edge. He pulled out of Steven, quickly removed the condom and came around next to Travis. Travis brought his head up, trying to get his mouth onto Tim’s cock. The first wad of cum blasted across Travis’ face before Travis could get his mouth onto it. Travis hungrily devoured the rest as it filled his mouth.
Jeremy and Chris noticed that Steven and his sleeping bag weren’t in the living room. After getting coffee started, they walked over to Carl’s bedroom door and softly tapped. They heard Matt ask, “Yeah?” Chris opened the door enough to stick his head inside and didn’t see any sign of Steven, but asked, “Where’s Steven. He’s not in the living room and neither is his sleeping bag. We thought he might have come in here.” Matt replied, “I have no idea. Maybe he took his bag back out to the car and decided to take a jog.” Chris said, “Ok. Sorry to bother you. We just put the coffee on.” Chris then pulled the door closed. Elijah then entered the room and asked, “What going on? You two look worried.” Jeremy said, “Steven and his sleeping bag are missing.” Elijah said, “Obviously, he isn’t in with Josh and Matt. I’ll check the basement. Maybe he’s with Tim and Travis.”
Elijah quietly went down the stairs in case Steven was in the new ‘family’ room. He wasn’t there, but when he got to the bottom of the stairs, he heard noises from the bedroom. Elijah grinned as he determined they were having sex. As he approached the bedroom door, he clearly heard Travis saying, “Fuck me, Steven!” Elijah’s grin grew wider. He had thought Steven might be a total bottom but now knew that wasn’t the case. Instead of knocking, Elijah slowly turned the doorknob and opened it a crack, just enough to peer inside. He watched as Steven moved back and forth, sliding into Travis and the pulling back onto Tim’s cock. He immediately reached down and adjusted his own hardening cock. He thought about taking his own cock out and stroking it while watching them but decided Chris and Jeremy would wonder what was taking him so long. Elijah watched for another minute before slowly pulling the door back closed. He figured they’d never know he had been there, but thought to himself, ‘shit!’, as he released the doorknob, and it made a clicking sound. He froze for a minute and listened to see if they stopped what they were doing because they had heard him, but they didn’t seem to pause in their chain fuck. Elijah then quietly went back upstairs and informed Jeremy and Chris what he’d come across.
Several minutes later, Matt and Josh emerged from Carl’s room. Josh asked, “Did you find him?” Matt suddenly smiled after seeing the grins appear on the other three’s faces, “Apparently they did and there must be a story to tell by the grins on their faces.” They listened, as Elijah retold the story of what he had witnessed. Josh laughed and said to Elijah, “What a voyeuristic perv you are. I wish I had seen it.” Everyone laughed. Elijah said, “It was hot as fuck seeing Steven in the middle of that train.”
As they started breakfast, Elijah busted Josh and Matt’s balls about not serving them breakfast in bed as he had insisted the day before. Suddenly, the basement door opened, and Steven walked out. Everyone yelled, “Good morning, Steven!” Steven grinned and said, “Good morning.” Elijah asked, “Did you sleep well?” Steven turned and realized everyone was looking at him with huge grins on their faces. He turned away and said, “Yes, I did. Mind if I use the shower, Jeremy?” Jeremy said, “No, not at all. Go ahead.” As he was stepping into the bathroom, Elijah asked, “Are Tim and Travis coming up soon?” Steven thought quickly, turned, shrugged, held his palms up and said, “I have no idea.”, then quickly pulled the door behind him. Everyone in the kitchen was grinning. Several minutes later, Tim and Travis emerged from the basement and were given the same cheerful chorus, “Good morning, guys!” They smiled and Tim asked, “Mind if we use the shower in your ensuite, Jeremy?” Jeremy replied, “No, go ahead.” Elijah said, “Yeah Travis, you might want to rinse Steven’s cum out of your hair.” Everyone laughed as Travis reached up to check his hair. Sure enough, he found some they had missed. Tim tried to cover for them, “It’s my cum, not Steven’s.” Josh got into the fun, “We figured your cum would be all over Steven’s back and maybe in his hair.” Tim and Travis both turned crimson. Tim finally asked, “How did you know? Were we that loud?” Matt glanced at Elijah and said, “A fly on the wall observed a little of what was going on and then disseminated it to us.” Tim grinned and said, “Disseminated? I know Elijah didn’t use that word.” Elijah gave him the one finger salute, then said, “We were worried about Steven when we saw both him and his sleeping bag weren’t in the living room.” Then he told a little lie, “You didn’t hear me knock?” Tim said accusingly, “You didn’t knock! I did hear the door though when you closed it.” Elijah grinned knowing Tim didn’t believe his lie, “It was pretty lit though. I almost felt like joining in.” Travis laughed and said, “I’m sure Tim wouldn’t have minded.” Tim nudged his shoulder as they walked to Jeremy’s room.
Steven stepped out of the bathroom wrapped in a towel and walked over to his bag. He pulled out a pair of boxers and a pair of jeans and began walking back to the bathroom. Elijah said, “Come on, Steven. Give us a show. It’s not like we haven’t seen you naked before.” Steven stopped and was deciding whether to just get dressed there in the living room when Josh said, “Very recently, I might add.” Steven wasn’t sure what to make of Josh’s statement, but since he had stopped, he pulled the towel off and then pulled on the boxers, then the jeans as a few of the guys watched him and gave cat calls.
After Tim and Travis came out from the shower, fully dressed, they sat down to eat breakfast. Steven kept noticing the grins from the others and wondered what they were up to. Tim noticed and said to Steven, but loud enough that the others could hear, “Elijah saw us this morning.” Steven face went pale as he asked, “What?” Elijah grinned at him, “You know.” Then he made a circle with his forefinger and thumb with his left hand and took the middle finger of his right hand and passed it back and forth inside the circle. Steven’s face went from white as a sheet to crimson in an instant. Elijah laughed and said, “No need to be embarrassed, Steven. It was fire. Now I know you’re not just a bottom boy.” Steven couldn’t help but crack a smile. Suddenly, Jeremy’s phone was sounding a tone. He said, “That’s Carl. I wonder why he’s calling this early. He usually just comes in.” Jeremy answered the call and talked to Carl. When he returned to the kitchen, he said, “I guess we’ll need to get dressed after breakfast. Carl and Chuck are stopping by and Jerome and Taylor are coming with.” Everyone looked over at Jeremy questioningly, wondering why Jerome and Taylor were stopping by with Carl and Chuck again. Josh was the first to ask, “Do they know about us?” Jeremy said, “Not as far as I know, but I don’t think they’d say anything even if they did.” Elijah then said, “I wonder if Carl and Chuck are swinging with Jerome and Taylor.” Jeremy didn’t say anything as several eyes fell on him. Josh said, “Wouldn’t that be something.” Steven didn’t know any of the four very well, but he tried to picture Jerome naked. He’d never thought about sex with a black guy before, but thought he might consider it under certain circumstances, like if it were Jerome. Steven’s cock throbbed at the thought. Then Matt said, “I wonder if Jerome’s cock is as big as Jeremy’s.” Jeremy almost spit out his food, then said, “Ok, can we not talk about cock sizes right now, especially mine. We need to finish eating so we can get dressed before they get here. After that conversation, more than one person at the table were hoping their cock would deflate before they got up from the table. As soon as they finished eating, Tim, Travis and Steven rushed to help clean up, then headed for the basement door. Elijah asked, “What are you guys in a rush for, you’re already dressed? Oh, cleanup in aisle five. I get it.” All three blushed. Jeremy the offered while grinning, “If you need to throw one of the sleeping bags in the washing machine, the agitator is removable for bulky items. We’ve washed them in it before, but just one at a time.” Tim and Travis hesitated, then Tim said, “If you don’t mind.” They then ran down the steps and into the bedroom where Steven was putting his sleeping bag in its storage sack. As they began rolling up the top sleeping bag, Travis began laughing as he said, “I can’t believe Elijah watched us fucking.” Steven said, “I know, right. How embarrassing.” Tim said, “I can believe it but we could tell you a few things about Elijah’s sexual tastes, so don’t feel embarrassed in front of him.” Travis said, “Underwear in zip lock bags is just the tip of the iceberg.” Steven asked, “Underwear in zip lock bags?” Tim said, “Maybe we’ll tell you next time you’re here. You will come back, right?” Steven smiled, “As long as I’m welcome.” Travis said, “I’m sure that’s not an issue. You’re one of the family now.” Steven smiled as he let that sink in, then wondered about what was up with underwear in zip lock bags, clean or already worn?.
Tim and Travis had just started the washing machine when Carl came in through the front door followed by Chuck, Taylor, and lastly, Jerome. Jerome was carrying a large rectangular object wrapped in cloth. Taylor had a huge smile on his face as they said hello to everyone. Carl said, “Could we all go down to the basement?” Jeremy gave a puzzled look, but said, “Sure. I guess.” They all assembled into what was to be the family room. It was surprising how well a dozen people fit, but it was a twenty-by twenty-five-foot room without much in the way of furniture. They watched as Jerome unwrapped what he’d been carrying. He pulled out a framed painting of a beautiful sunset. Everyone was saying Wow! Or Amazing, awesome, and other complimentary expressions. Then Josh asked, “Where did you find it?” Taylor smiled proudly and said, “Jerome painted it.” Travis stood frozen in place except for his head, first looking at the painting and then at the wall he’d painted. Jerome said, “I had it framed, but if you’ll bear with me…” Jerome delicately removed the canvas from its frame and then carried it over and held it up on the wall Travis had painted. A tear rolled down Travis’ cheek as Jerome said, “I think hanging here, it looks better without the frame.” Everyone was mesmerized as they stared at the painting Jerome held up with Travis’ painted wall as the background. Chris said, “That looks freaking amazing! It looks like a perfect match, the sunset sky with an almost three-D sunset.” Tim nudged Travis and said, “It looks perfect on your wall, Travis. Travis! What’s wrong? Tim saw the tears rolling down Travis’ cheeks. Travis smiled, “Nothing is wrong. It’s perfect. I thought Jerome was just being nice when he told me I did a good job painting the wall.” Jerome said, “Not a good job, Travis, an amazing one, one that inspired me to paint this.” Taylor reached over and squeezed Travis’ shoulder, “Jerome’s an artist and he also knows talent when he sees it. When I saw him painting this, I knew exactly where this painting was going to go, and you’re right, they are perfect together.” Jerome rewrapped the painting and said, “I’ll help you hang it when you’re ready.” Chris said, “That painting should be in an art gallery, not on a basement wall.” Jerome smiled, “The only way that painting ends up in an art gallery is if the wall goes with it.” Jeremy grinned, “I don’t think Henry would appreciate that. Don’t get me wrong, I appreciate this, but even if it was only time that you spent painting that, you still paid for the canvas and the frame. Can I give you something for it? Or, since you took it from the frame, maybe you could use the frame for another painting.” Taylor smiled, “My father gave Jerome the frame. He said it belonged with the painting. He wanted to hang it in his art gallery, but Jerome told him he already had a place planned for it.” Jerome added, “If you want to let Taylor’s dad borrow it for an exhibit, you are welcome to do that, but it should be in its frame for that, but I insist, if you do, you must take a photograph of it hanging on this wall to accompany the painting.” Matt said, “The painting does go with the wall, and I guess the wall goes with the painting.” Jeremy said, “Thank you so much, Jerome. The painting is beautiful and is perfect on this wall. I would like to allow Taylor’s father to display it in his gallery for a time, so others can see the amazing work of art, and I agree, a picture of it on this wall should accompany it.” Travis still had tears running down his cheeks but also had a smile on his face as he said, “Thank you, Jerome. I just wanted to make the wall look like the sky during a sunset. Your painting makes it look so fire, it almost looks real.” Jerome said, “You have talent, Travis. You should attend an art school.” Taylor asked, “Carl and Jeremy, would it be ok if I brought my father here to see this?” Carl said, “Of course.” Jeremy added, “I guess. What do you think, Travis?” Taylor said, “I’m sorry, I should have asked you as well, Travis, since you painted the wall.” Travis said, “I’m a little surprised by all the attention this wall is getting, but if you think he’d want to see it, sure.” Taylor looked at Jerome and said, “Maybe this will be the tipping point for Jerome to realize his own great talent and let my father display more of his paintings like he’s been after him to do.” Jeremy said, “If his other work looks as good as this, he most definitely should.” Chuck said, “I’ve seen some of his other work and it is really good.” Carl said, “I’m no artist, but from what I’ve seen, I agree.” Jeremy looked at Jerome and thought, even though he was a black man, he could swear Jerome was blushing. They eventually went back upstairs and hung around talking about other things. Josh, Matt and Steven packed up their things for the ride back home. They ordered pizza and wings for lunch since trying to make lunch for twelve people would be a task and take too much time, let alone empty their refrigerator. Elijah kept an eye on the interactions between Carl, Chuck, Jerome and Taylor to see if he could see some signs. He wasn’t successful. Jerome and Taylor left at the same time as Josh, Matt and Steven. Once they had gone, the others went inside. Travis was still a little overwhelmed by the attention his wall had gotten. Tim kept close to him for the rest of the afternoon, proud of him as well as happy for him. Carl asked Elijah how the weekend was with his bestie and the others. Of course, he went into detail and at the end, embarrassed the hell out of Tim and Travis when he explained watching the ménage à trois with them and Steven. Chuck, Jeremy and Chris made chicken alfredo with peas and carrots and a colorful salad for dinner. Elijah then got his things ready, making Jeremy and Chris join him in Jeremy’s bedroom to get a few things from them. He also changed and left them something. When Elijah said his goodbyes and headed to his car, Travis and Tim headed out as well. Travis let Tim drive to Chris’ parents and then drove himself home. Of course, there was a heavy make-out session before Tim left the car.
Once the others had gone, Carl asked, “So, is it finished?” Chris smiled and said, “Yep. Now he just has to pass his test.” Jeremy said, “I don’t think he’ll have a problem doing that.”
Carl and Chuck went into Carl’s bedroom to get ready for bed and came out a few minutes later. Carl had a bundle of sheets and pillowcases in his arms and said, “Had to change the sheets. These smell like Josh and Matt sex.” Jeremy and Chris laughed and then Jeremy said, “Sorry. Tim and Travis needed the washer to wash one of the sleeping bags.” Chuck was grinning, “I told him I was fine with it. Reminded me of some of the fun we had with them. Speaking of which, what’s with the secret meetings you three always have before Elijah heads back to his campus?” Chris almost said something, but Jeremy cut in, “That’s why it’s called a secret meeting.” Chuck said, “Ok. I can respect that.” The four of them kissed goodnight, then they separated, heading to their bedrooms. Chris asked Jeremy, “You look really happy. What’s the permanent smile about?” Jeremy undressed and then climbed into bed with Chris. He rolled on his side to face him and said, “That painting Jerome did. I know he basically gave it to Carl and me for the house, but I think in reality, he gave it to Travis for his own piece of art on that wall. It made him so happy.” Chris smiled and said, “I know, right. Tim thought there was something wrong when he saw Travis’ tears but was so happy for him when he realized the tears were tears of joy. Jerome made his day.” Jeremy said, “Jerome made pretty much everyone’s day when he unwrapped that painting and held it up on the wall. I can’t wait to see Henry’s face when he sees it. I hate to say it, but I think we’re going to have to put some thought into the furniture we put in that room. I had thought we might put the old furniture down there and get some better stuff for up here, but now it would look terrible with that amazing wall. Just then, there was a knock on the door. Carl entered and said, “Taylor just called. He had taken a picture of the wall while Jerome was holding the painting up to it. He showed it to his father. His father wants to make an appointment to see it after the painting is hung.” Jeremy and Chris looked at each other, then Jeremy said, “This almost doesn’t seem real. I mean an art collector and owner of an art gallery wants to look at a wall and Jerome’s painting on it in our house. The wall looks amazing, and Travis shocked the fuck out of me when I saw what he did with it, but for an art collector to want to see it seems crazy.” Carl said, “I was shocked when I saw what Travis did with that wall and then when Jerome held up that painting, I was stunned speechless. I’m just concerned about this turning into a circus.” It then dawned on Jeremy what Carl was saying, “You have a point, Carl. I think if we allow Taylor’s father to see it, it has to be with the understanding that he never gives anyone the address of this house. I doubt Henry would want that either. Maybe we should discuss this with him first.” Carl replied, “Agreed. Why don’t you call him tomorrow and let him know what’s going on?” Jeremy replied, “Will do.” Carl then said, “Ok. Goodnight. See you both in the morning.” Chris and Jeremy both said goodnight to Carl, and he headed back to his bedroom.
