The next day, after they had woken up, Bill jumped into the shower to give Joey a little extra time to sleep. He seemed really tired. And he had woken up in the middle of the night to hear Nate coming home . There was a second voice, so he knew that the coffee wouldn't be ready yet. He smiled to himself "kids will be kids" he said in the shower, smiled and shook his head "I was young once, I guess. Thank God Joey is keeping me from getting older. Nate too. I should take a trip to church to say thank you."
He came out of the shower to see Joey sitting up in bed, thinking, but looking very very lost. Usually, Joey would get up, throw arms around Bill and give him a kiss. Today, he just sat. Bill pulled on his robe, and sat down next to his lover. "Angel boy, something's wrong. Wanna share?" Joey made a sad kind of laugh. "I got a call from my father. Listen:" "Hey Joey. It's your dad. Long time no hear, but I guess you're busy. Hey, we're gonna have a birthday party for your sister. I know she misses you. School hasn't started yet, has it? I think she'd love it if you came. I sure would. If money's a problem, let me know. I'll wire you train fare. Let me know kid, ok? Remember. Mom and I love you." He heaved a deep sigh, and then Bill spoke "Well, Joey, I don't know why you seem so upset about this. OF COURSE you're going to go. You love that girl. She loves you too. And he's right. You HAVEN'T seen your family in a long time. " "But I don't think I can bring you, Sir. And I don't want to be away from you." He began to cry, and Bill held him, letting him get the tears out, thinking "Oh dear. I didn't expect THIS to happen. " When Joey had finished crying, Bill put his hands on his shoulders. "Joey, you're going to this party. If you need me to get authoritative and put on my leather, I will. But seriously. You want to go, you should go. And Joey, you know, here's how the world works: there are times when couples aren't together. This one is only, what, three days? Four days? "Maybe three days, Sir." "You'll be fine." "But I want to be with you Sir." "And I'd like to be there. But as someone once said when I was young "You can't always get what you want." "Yeah, I heard that . It's in a song, right?" "That's right Joey. By the Rolling Stones. That's Mick Jagger singing." "I saw pictures of him. He's hot for an old guy." Then he paused. "Not that you're not hot, Sir, and not that you're old... I'm stepping into shit as I go on, aren't I?" "YESSSSSSSSSSSS.. " "He was a SINGER? I didn't know that." "There's another little piece of my heart" Bill thought. Was it going to be one of those days?" "Listen angel boy, however much you're MY boy, you'll always be your father's first. PERIOD. You have to go . Now, this is what I suggest. See if it works for you. Call him back, tell him you'll come, but you have the money for the trip from your summer job. Then, the day after you get there, I'll drive up. I'll take a room in the closest hotel. "It sucks Sir." "Well, so do you and that's not necessarily bad, but angel boy, I've stayed in bad hotels before, and it's not more than two days. And besides, your sister is probably dying to see you, and probably dying to meet the guy you're dating." "I'm more than dating you Sir." "Yes, you are. But she knows dating . We'll meet. We'll take her out. We'll have a good time. And if things get bad, I'll be there with my car, we'll drive back and then we'll figure out things afterward. How does that sound?" Joey sniffled "Is this what it means to be an adult, Sir?" Bill laughed "Beats the shit outta me." Joey looked at him. "Now THERE'S a picture I won't get out of my mind. One question Sir. If I had been resistant, would you have put on your harness?" Joey's bright teeth showed. Bill shook his head. "You're a pig." "Then spit roast me Sir." "Nate is 'occupied'." "You haven't fucked my face and then my ass, Sir." "You have a point. Young, but not dumb." Before he got the sentence out, Joey was on his knees in front of Bill, pulling his cock into his mouth. "OH LORD. I don't think I can handle this without coffee." Joey stopped for a minute. "I'm just getting the cream, Sir." "Yes.. Yes you are. OH LORD. I said that already didn't I?" Without thinking, Bill grabbed a hank of Joey's hair and pushed his head into his cock . Joey almost reflexively gagged, but he stayed with it, and soon, he had collected the cream. They didn't use it in the coffee.
Joey gave Gina a call after breakfast. Nate was still "occupied" so he didn't join them "Is that a stranger calling me?" Gina asked and Joey laughed. "I'm sorry G, I owed you a call, I just. I didn't." "Forgetting your family. It's ok. Women understand this stuff." "God you sound like Mom" "HEAVEN FORBID. So Joey, are you coming to the mother of all parties ? And are your bringing "he who shall not be named?" Joey laughed. "Well coming to the party is an easy answer. Yes. I'll be there. I'm calling Dad after I call you. Now, Bill is coming, and he wants to meet you, but he's not coming WITH me. He's going to stay in the hotel about a quarter mile away." "THAT DIVE? NO WAY. I don't wanna risk the guy sleeping with my brother giving him cooties." Joey began to laugh. "Bill said it would be fine." "BILL SAID IT WOULD BE FINE. Are you his fucking wife or something?" "In a way I am," Joey thought, but he said "Do you have any suggestions?" "SIS ALWAYS has suggestions. One of girlfriends has a brother who works at..." and she gave him the name of a hotel that had opened after Joey went to school. "I'll get your man the reservation. Night after party. Tell him so that he understands he's going to be driving a very drunk young woman home one night." "Love you Gina." "Bring your credit card J. Shoes. Remember?"

Joey got a Thursday afternoon off, and he, Bill and Nate were at the train station as Joey's train came in. "I really don't want to go without you Sir." "It'll be fine Joey. Totally, totally fine. You call me after you get there, and I'll call you when I get to the hotel. And thank Gina for the recommendation." The conductor called for boarding and Joey grabbed his bag, gave Bill and Nate a hug, and got on his car. As it pulled out, Nate saw his uncle tearing up a little. He put his hand on Bill's shoulder. "You've done this kind of thing a lot, Gunc." "I have. It doesn't get easier. You know Nate, I say I wish I were young again, but I don't miss growing up." Nate squeezed his shoulder a bit tighter. "You did tell him not to come out on this trip, didn't you?" "I did." "You realize of course he's going to." "Yup, gappadose in dialect. Hard head. Why do you think Guncle Bill is heading out as fast as he is.?" "That's so you Gunc. If it were cats and dogs, you'd be the King of Rescues" "Empress Darling. Empress." Nate was silent for a minute. He hesitated "Gunc, it's been a while, but I remember that bed. You're sleeping alone tonight. You don't have to." Bill put his arm around Nate and smiled. "You're a sweetheart Nate. I know you don't like hearing that, but you are. My Mary Magdalene. But no, I think it's probably best to leave things as they were." Nate sighed "I knew you'd say that."

Joey could see the three of them: Mom, Dad and Gina at the train station as it pulled in. His parents couldn't move that fast anymore, but Gina was at the entrance when it opened. If Joey had been born small and tight, Gina was tall and lanky. She played basketball for fun, and she grabbed Joey and got him just an inch up off the ground. "GEEZ JOEY. He's feeing you too well. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA." "Are my clothes too tight?" he asked her. "They'll think it's college style. Don't worry. "GIUSEPP CARO" His father wrapped him in his arms. Poppa always smelled of a mix of tobacco and cement. His hands, leathered and rough, held Joey to him. It was there and then that Joey remembered his first erection was when he felt his Dad's hands. And he was getting one now. "Hey Pop. You look good." "I look like SHIT Joey. Too much smoking , too much pasta, too much work. One of these days I'm just gonna fall over like the Tower of Pizza" "You've been saying that since I was 8 years old Dad." "Four" added his mother. She had clearly just been to the beauty parlor. She had what one person had called "a blue collar Italian American bouffant," but that was his mom. Every Sunday, four hours over the pot with the sauce. The braccioles. The midweek vegetable dinner that had too much olive oil in it. Yes, Bill was right. he needed to be here. "So, sonny boy, college boy, you gotta update us on EVERYTHING. "HEY. Can we celebrate my birthday first, for Christ's sake. Joey, it isn't ALWAYS about you." "She's right guys. Come on . Gina, you're what, 15 now? "SIXTEEN you Stronzo." Gina had just called her brother a shit. Now , they were back in family mode. "I missed you guys. I really did. " He looked at his mom. "Mom, did you make." "Yes there's a lasagna for dinner. We'll have pizza tomorrow. The only thing missing was Bill. He told him all that in the evening, when he was sitting in Gina's room. He was giving her his "unofficial" present, because he was afraid his folks would think it was too adult. "JOEY. OH MY GOD. A REAL necklace. With REAL jewels. Are they... rubies?" "They are Genie. For my queen. Bill wanted to chip in and get you a bigger one , but.." "NO. This is great. Let me hide it. I'll wear it when they don't see. " "You kids coming to dinner or are we eating all the lasagna and cheesecake ourselves." "FUCK THAT" Gina said, but low enough that it didn't carry. After dinner, he asked "so, what did you find out?" "nothing much Joe. It's kinda like a block. I bring up the topic - not about you, but the topic, and she remembers she forgot to do something in the kitchen, and he changes the subject. When is Bill going to be here?" "Tomorrow. Probably early. That's the way he is." Gina laughed "Oh, boy. My "why am I awake, it's not pm yet brother, and an early bird." She whispered "is he good in bed Joe?" He blushed. "I've never had reason to complain. And I've never not had an orgasm, except..." "Except when?" She saw him blush "OMG HE LOCKS YOU UP. I LOVE IT." "SHHHH. I don't think I'm ever gonna tell them that."
Joey headed off to his old room. He began unpacking. There was a knock it was his Dad. "Hey Pop. Sorry if we made too much noise." "Not that . I just wanted to see my son. Can I sit down for a minute?" "Sure. What's up?" His father looked down, his hands locked in each other. He was clearly trying to collect himself. "Gina thinks she's so smart. So clever. And we're so dumb. " Joey grinned, but he had a feeling he knew where this was going. "How's that guy Bill you've been working for. Still good?" "Yes Dad. Great guy, love having a room in his house, everything's perfect." Another pause. "You're not coming back to work at the plant after school are ya?" Joey looked down now. "I don't think so Dad. " "GOOD. I'm SO FUCKING GLAD YOU SAID THAT." Joey began to cry and his father put his arm around his shoulders. "I know the commercials say this is a lifesaver moment Joey. I don't have them, and it's not, but... DAMN IT. I did not send you to college to do what I do. Joe, I'm gonna sell the company Your mom and I deserve a retirement." "Dad, that's GREAT. You gonna visit Italy?" "Visit? If I told you we were gonna relocate, would you believe me?" "Probably not, but." "It's true. Deo volente, after Gina finishes school, we are OUTTA here." "DAD. That's terrific. I'm so happy for you." There was a moment of silence and then Dad continued. "Gina's been bringing up gay this/gay that for a while." "You're gay Joey, aren't you?" Joey dropped his voice. "Yes Dad, I am. I found out last year." "You know, your mom was the first one to know. Gina thinks she was, but she wasn't. Remember, your mom took you to the playground. She saw how you looked at other boys. She saw how you went to the gym instead of the prom. " His eyes began to fill up. "Joe, you're my son. You'll always be my son. I don't understand this stuff. Now Gina talks about nonbinary and rainbows and yadda yadda. I have enough trouble finding which shoe is the left one or the right one. I DO understand I love my son. Forever. And beyond that. Now hug your Dad."
"Hey, can I get in on this?" Mom had come by. "You just had the talk didn't you pop?" "I did. You were right. Again." She smiled. "Joey, it's ok. I'm sorry you were scared to tell us." "Mom, I didn't know myself until last year. Listen, we have to have a talk about things around this because, yeah, my being gay isn't complicated, but getting there, and where things are, that is. " Mom looked at him. "It's Bill isn't it?" Joey blushed. "Yes, mom, it is. I'm in love with him." "He's ... older, isn't he?" "Yes mom. " She sighed. "Well... she looked at her husband. "Pop, you remember back in Sicily? Giuseppe and Paolo?" "Yeah. They always said they were uncle and nephew, so sharing a bed was ok. No one believed them, and no one cared." Joey's dad looked at him. "And you know what, GIuseppino , no one cares here either. We don't give a shit. Is he good to you?" "Dad. the only man who's ever been better to me, is you." (Bonus points Joey, he thought. But it was true). "Are we gonna get to meet him?" "Tomorrow?" "HE'S HERE?" "Not yet. I thought it would be awkward to bring him, but I was scared. So he's staying at a hotel . He'll stay until it's time for me to leave." "Joey," mom said "It's NEVER time for you to leave. When you want to go, you go." "Call him. We all wanna talk to him." "Well, let's see if he's awake." Joey got out his phone. Bill answered. "ANGEL BOY. Is everything ok?" "Oh, he calls him an angel. I like him already," his mom thought. "Yes Bill. All is fine (he didn't want to push things with Sir in front of his family). Bill, I know you told me not to, and I really didn't... "I did," his father answered. "OH, buona sera signore. Tutta la famiglia e qui?" (Good evening Sir. The whole family is there?") All of us Bill, but Italian. Gina just came in and , she's not ready for Italian. Bill, I hear you're coming up tomorrow?" "Yes sir. I'm staying at this interesting hotel the young ones picked." His father knew exactly which one it was. "I seee... Well, we're celebrating Gina's birthday tomorrow afternoon, and if you'd be kind enough to join us." Joey's mouth opened. Bill had just become part of the family! He didn't expect that. "It would be my pleasure. And I'd be honored. " "Then we'll see you tomorrow. Buona notte amico (good night friend). He turned to Joey. "Feel free to spend the night with him. That's what living in sin is all about." and he laughed.
So we'll come back to the party and other stuff in our next chapter, but there hasn't been any real sex yet, and you KNOW you're waiting for what happened in that hotel room. And stuff DID happen. See, when Bill made his reservation, he saw that in addition to a mini bar, the hotel offered different "sex toy options." That was good to know, but he packed his own. And as he drove a somewhat drunk Joey back to the hotel, hands cuffed in front of him, he said "you know, I think last night is the first night since we've been together, that I didn't cum into you or on you." "So you're doubly charged, Sir? Just like me?" "Damn right I am. And hotel sex is always the best. No worries about cleaning up." "Then let's go out more Sir." They had gotten to the hotel. No one was in the elevator, and they just fell into a deep, deep kiss. "OH, my angel boy. GOD did I miss you." "Mi anchio amore" Within five minutes, joey's shirt was opened, and he was tied into a chair in the hotel room. Bill pulled out a pair of clamps. "Let's see how much you can take without yelling, sweetcakes." Joey bit his lips as Bill began to move the chain around. Self gagging, without material. HOT. Then Bill moved the chain into Joey's mouth and began kneading his crotch. Finally, Joey couldn't take it and dropped the chain. "OOOOH. OOOH SIR. GOD. Please take them off. Chew them. Make them even more sore. PLEASE." "FUCK YES." was the next thing out of Joey's mouth, as Bill got to work. He swept Joey out of the chair, untied him and pinned him down to the bed. "OH, I could do so many things to you. "Tomorrow Sir. Just fuck me now. FUCK ME. " Bill got Joey's pants off , and he began fingering his ass. "NO. COCK SIR. PLEASE. YOUR COCK. NOTHING ELSE. JUST COCK." Bill ignored him as he slipped two fingers into him. "OH, SHIT. I feel like a cat in heat Sir." "A man pussy?" "SHIT DON'T make me laugh Sir. If I laugh.. OH GOD..." Joey began squirting like the Trevi Fountain in Rome. Now Bill was laughing. He was laughing and hugging Joey so hard that, well... remember how old the Trevi Fountain is. "I got your sister a birthday present. I hope it's ok." "What did you get her Sir?" "Velvet handcuffs." "NO SERIOUSLY. What did you get her? "Velvet handcuffs. " "BILL!" "Ha ha. Listen up pup. She's getting those on the sly. I got her a gift certificate to a show boutique in NYC." "How's she gonna get to NYC?" "With the ticket we're giving her to come with us just before school starts."
