This story has taken on a life of its own. From its inception a year ago, I had only thought it would last ten chapters maximum. As you can see, it has grown tremendously. Mostly due to readers emailing me and telling me they've enjoyed it or have received help due to certain issues addressed. I've enjoyed writing this story but it would not have been written without men and women reading it and telling me they've enjoyed it. I do hope that you continue to enjoy each new chapter as our hero lives and grows.
I have received many emails from people who have enjoyed it and some from those who do not. I would enjoy hearing from you. Any emails you send, please tell me what chapter and story you are commenting on. Thanks.

Chapter 24 Moving Ahead
I ran down the darkened, abandoned streets of Orlando. Something was chasing me but I didn't know what.
"Where is everyone?" I said to myself. "Shouldn't there be police, pimps or prostitutes on the streets this time of night?"
Then I felt the eeriness creeping up behind me. I didn't want to look back. I didn't want to face it. Whatever it was, it was hideous and darker than anything I had ever faced before. So I ran.
I ran through two intersections and there were neither cars nor any living persons. Orlando was a ghost town. This was all too freaky.
The darkness came closer and closer seeming to not exert any energy. 'My God,' I thought. 'It's going to take me away.'
I kept running and running and then I tripped. I lay still not wanting it to see me. Maybe if it thought I was dead it would move on. However it didn't. It slowed its progress but it still approached. I felt the darkness of its tentacles, the coldness of its touch as it reached out for me sampling my leg to see if I would move. I felt it slowly climb my legs, feeling closer and closer until it almost completely covered me.
"No!" I shouted as I sat up in bed.
I looked around and found myself in the bedroom, sunlight streaming through the window and the shower running in the bathroom as Lance cleaned up for the day. My heart beat rapidly but was slowing and my face was covered in a cold sweat.
"What was that all about?" I said out loud to no one in particular.
After taking a few breaths I stood and went into the bathroom to relieve my bladder. The bathroom was heavy with steam thanks to Lance's hot shower.
"Eric?" he asked. "Is that you?"
"Yeah," I answered a bit groggily.
"Good morning," Lance said peeking his head around the shower door.
"Good morning," I answered as I went over and kissed him. Then I went over to use the toilet.
"How did you sleep last night?"
"Not very well. I had the weirdest dreams."
"Aww, sorry to hear that. What were they about?"
"I'm not really sure. I never saw what was chasing me."
Lance peeked his head around the shower door again. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah, I'm fine."
Lance turned off the shower and stepped out with his body glistening with water. Had I been more awake, I would have easily wanted to have a quickie before going down to meet our company.
I grabbed him and pulled him close getting my robe covered in water. "I'm even better, now." I kissed him full on the lips deeply and passionately.
Lance smiled at me. "Showers free now."
"Great. I could use a shower."
"Yes, you could," Lance replied with a grin.
"Hey!" I said in mock offense. I smacked his cute butt and pulled off my robe, throwing it in the dirty clothesbasket. Lance exited the bathroom with the towel around his waist as I climbed in the shower.
It felt good to have the water washing away whatever my dream was about. I was in the here and now and very safe. No need to stress about what I dreamed of.
I went downstairs dressed and ready to go. The boys were awake and talking to one another on the floor, not about what were discussed last night but everyday stuff.
"Good morning, boys," I greeted. "How did everyone sleep?"
Good's and well's came from their lips and I was glad of that.
"Are you guys hungry?"
"Yeah!" Chris answered right away.
Everyone laughed.
"Good. I'll make breakfast."
I went into the kitchen and fired up the stove. Lance was out at the poolside with a glass of juice looking up at the beautiful blue sky. Once I had the food going in the skillets, I went out and wrapped my arms around his waist.
"What a beautiful day," he said.
"Not nearly as beautiful as you," I responded. I kissed him on the cheek. "I'm making breakfast if you are hungry."
"Sounds good. How long are they going to be here?"
"I don't know. I would assume until after they eat, shower and change. We could take them back to their hotel, or I could if you have to work."
"No, we can. I'd like you to show me this cave of yours."
"You know what I'm thinking?"
"That it would be a good place for Batman?"
"You read my mind."
"We think alike, Eric. That is a good sign."
"Always."
I released my grip and went back into the kitchen to check on the food, which was nearly done. Jesse came in barefoot wearing his t-shirt and boxers.
"Good morning," he said.
"How are you doing today?"
"I'm okay."
"Did you sleep okay?"
"Yeah."
"Good. Are you hungry?"
"A little."
"Good because it is almost done."
I served up the scrambled eggs in a bowl, the bacon on a platter and the toast on a plate. After taking it to the kitchen table, I called the rest of the guys in. The converged on the table like animals and dished out their food. After eating ravenously, two at a time went up to shower.
"Lance and I are going to take you back to your hotel," I said. "You guys can let your manager know where you were and what not."
"Would it be possible to talk later tonight?" Jesse asked.
"Sure," I answered after looking to Lance for confirmation he didn't mind. "You have our number. Call any time you need to."
"Thanks," Jesse replied.
I noticed Chris's attitude was a bit different than what it was last night. I wondered what happened that aided the change.
About an hour later, all the guys were done with their showers and the living room was picked up. After throwing a load of laundry into the washing machine, we piled into the SUV and headed back to their hotel.
"Where are you guys staying?" Lance asked as he drove down the street.
Greg told us the name of the hotel and soon we were dropping the guys off. Once they were inside, Lance continued down the road heading toward the construction site.
"Jesse seems a little better," Lance said. "And I notice Chris, too. He is much better than he was last night."
"Yeah. I wonder if they had a talk."
"Speaking of a talk, I wanted to talk to you about something."
"Sure, what is it?"
"Do you remember in Christmas what I had asked you?"
I looked down at the ring and knew exactly what he meant. "Yes?"
"I was wondering, would you still like to get married? I mean, after getting you back, I realized I don't want to lose you at all. I realized how much I want you beside me for the rest of my life."
"Me, too. There wasn't a day that went by in England that I didn't think about you and wonder what you were doing, wishing I could be there to experience it with you. Or be at the house when you came home so you could share it with me."
"So, what do you say? Do you want to get married?"
"Of course!" I said emphatically wrapping my arms around him.
"Be careful! I'm driving!"
"Oh," I replied sheepishly with a giggle.
Lance looked at me and smiled. I leaned over and kissed him then rested my head on his shoulder for the rest of the trip to the construction site.
As we pulled into the site, Lance said, "We are going to have to pick a date."
"True. And we need to have best men."
"I was thinking about that. And the person I want as my best man isn't a man."
"Who, then?"
"Jessica."
"Good idea," I said, even though deep in my heart I was slightly uncomfortable.
"Have you thought about who you want as a best man?"
"I don't know. I never did think about it. I'll have to decide."
"No rush. We have time."
The two of us climbed out and we were greeted by the foreman. "Back again to watch us work?"
"Sort of," I replied. "I enjoy watching stuff like this go on."
"We need to figure out some more details," Lance added quickly. "Room lay out and what area will be for what."
"Sure. Just be careful."
Lance and I headed into the building and I showed him to the back room where I exercised my mutation. As we entered the spot, I remembered the piece of wood my hand went through. Hesitantly I reached out and touched the wood. It was solid.
"You okay?" he asked.
"Fine," I replied. "This is the room I was in when I discovered the cave underneath. One of the workers said this would make a great bedroom. Perhaps we could make it our bedroom, in case we have to stay here."
"We could find someone willing to put an elevator or something down to the cave. That would be convenient."
"Or even a ladder or something. Just some way to get down there."
"But we can't go through any construction company. It might be too easy to figure out."
"I wouldn't know who else to call."
We stood there and thought for a minute.
"Show me the cave," Lance said and we went out to the SUV.
I directed Lance to the entrance of the cave and he pulled over. Together we went in.
"You're right, this is a big cave," he muttered, as we entered the large cavern. "You could store a lot in here."
"Not like I actually have much to store in the first place, a motorcycle and a suit."
"You'll amass more as your career goes on."
"Maybe. Just not too much. I don't want to clutter the cave."
Lance looked at me and smiled.
After looking around the cave some more, Lance and I headed back to the house for lunch. Once lunch was over with, we headed into the living and crashed on the couch to relax. Lance sat down and put his leg up on the couch. I sat between his legs and leaned my head against his right shoulder.
"Do you want to go out and eat tonight?" he asked me.
"Sure," I replied.
"Great. There is this new Mexican restaurant that opened last month and I wanted to try it out. How does that sound?"
"Anywhere is great with you."
I turned my head and kissed him. He turned his head and lowered it to get better access to my lips. We kissed deeper and deeper, the kiss becoming more and more intense. Soon our tongues were darting around each other's mouths, entwining and caressing.
Lance's hands went down and he grasped the hem of my shirt, breaking the kiss only to get it up over my head. Once it was off, he went back to kissing me and caressing my bare, slightly hairy chest.
I turned around to face him as we kissed. My fingers went down to the buttons on his shirt and I unbuttoned them one-by-one. Once finished, I opened his shirt to reveal his smooth chest and pink nipples. I fondled one with my thumb and felt it become erect.
Lance smiled ever so slightly as we kissed. I pulled back to see his pleasant face.
"I love you," he said to me in a soft voice.
"And I love you, too."
I moved down and kissed his chest. I ran my tongue over to his left nipple and licked its erection. Then I moved to his right one and licked and sucked until it became erect. He shuddered as I did this.
My tongue went down his chest, over his abs to his belly button where I concentrated my tonguing action once again. As I licked and kissed at his belly button, making a suction action as if eating soft serve ice cream, my fingers unbuttoned his pants and unzipped his zipper. His white briefs had a spot of wetness where the head of his dick was, so much precum and wetness, in fact that it made the material translucent. I could see his head through the material.
"You must be worked up big time," I muttered.
"Just being close to you does that to me."
I smiled at him and went back down. I used my tongue and traced around the head of his cock through the material. Then, I grabbed the waistband of his pants and pulled them down. Lance lifted up so I could get them passed his butt, then I pulled them off. I grabbed his socks and pulled them off as well.
When I got up to his dick, I saw the head poking out the top of his waistband. My tongue caressed the head and I pulled us underwear down not wanting to ruin the image of his precum flowing naturally down his cock.
Once his underwear was up, I saw his cock standing erect pointing straight up to the ceiling. His hands started to go for it to give it a few jerks, but I reached up and stopped him.
"No," I whispered. "Its all mine."
I moved up on my knees and took the head of it into my mouth. My lips created suction around it and I sucked like it was a baby bottle. Lance moaned loudly at what I was doing, as it felt really good to him.
After a few moments of this, Lance reached down and pulled me up face-to-face with him. He kissed me passionately and our tongues connected. As we kissed, he unbuckled my pants and pulled them as far down as he could. He pulled my underwear down as well and lifted me up so my cock was at his face. He took me all the way into his mouth and sucked profusely on me as if attempting to satisfy a hunger.
Lance placed his hands on my back and turned me, lowering me to the couch. He kept my cock in his mouth the entire time. Once I was on my back, Lance pulled my pants and boxer briefs down while continuing to suck me off. He stopped when he had to pull them off, leaving my socks on. He moved up and kissed me again, passionately. I wrapped my legs around his waist as he ground his body into me, our cocks rubbing together mixing my saliva and our precum together. He pulled back slightly and I felt his hand going between our legs.
In mere seconds, his head was positioned at my hole and I felt him push it in. I felt myself being filled as inch after inch entered me. Once all the way in, he stopped looked deep into my eyes and whispered "I love you". I smiled and whispered it back and he began his pumping motion, our lips locking as he made passionate love to me.
While he pumped and we kissed, his hand found my precum encased cock and he began pumping it. I heard the slurping sound of him in me and his hand working me up and down. My hands played on his back, caressing his smooth skin and tight butt. I wanted to push my fingers inside him but I didn't want to chance aggravating the damage Paul had done to him.
Our lovemaking went on for almost an hour. As Lance would build up to climax, he would slow down until his impending orgasm subsided. As he would work my dick up to orgasm, he would slow down or just hold it in his hand. He wanted this moment to last, this moment when we were just as much physically as we were emotionally.
Finally, he couldn't hold back any more. He kept pumping and soon he was spraying his cum inside my body, filling me. His hand job also had the same desired affect and I shot all over him and myself. He kept up the pumping ever so gently until we both came down off our orgasm. Then he laid on top of me, his cock still inside me, and he kissed me gently on the lips. I caressed his sweaty hair and cheeks, and together we drifted off to sleep.
To Be Continued...
Lance and Eric finally getting married. Who would you suggest as Eric's best man? I can't think of who it should be. I'd like to read your suggestions. Perhaps the character with the most votes will be Eric's best man.
