“How long has it been since you been down there?” Justin asked as he put the masks on the floor. “Almost a month,” Andrew answered. “We’ve been too busy trying to keep things running smoothly and stay up to date.” “Really?” Justin asked. “No,” Andrew told him. “The truth is that we were scared of pissing off Brian. So we kept to ourselves, did our job and kept out of sight. Nobody wanted any confrontations with Brian in the mood he was in.” Justin sighed and scratched his chin. “I’m sorry about that. It wasn’t my intention to ever hurt you guys or Brian.” “It’s not your fault. You didn’t do it on purpose,” Andrew replied. “It’s good to have you back though. Brian seems happy.” Justin smiled widely. “Yeah,” he muttered thinking that if the guys only knew he had run away on his own free will, they wouldn’t feel so charitable towards him. “Okay, let’s get started,” Andrew said. Justin nodded and the two of them assisted each other in preparing their scuba gear. “Justin,” Michael said after a while. “Hey.” “What’s up?” Justin asked as he looked up at Brian’s friend. He had been helping Andrew get their oxygen tanks ready. He stopped for a second and got up. “I need to talk to you in private,” Michael said directing his last words towards Andrew. Andrew looked at them and nodded. He got up quickly and left them alone. “What’s going on?” Justin asked a bit scared. “I only wanted to warn you. Brian might be a bit pissed right now,” Michael said. “He’s in his chambers. James just told him he was leaving in approximately one month.” Justin cringed. “Shit,” he hadn’t thought of the downside of James leaving. “I’ll talk to him.” Michael nodded and the watched the blond leave the deck and head below. Justin found Brian smoking a blunt in his chambers. He closed the door and arched a brow. “Is everything okay?” “Did you know that James was leaving?” Brian inquired. “Right,” Justin said treading slowly. He didn’t want to add to Brian’s wrath. “Well, I thought he was leaving a long time ago. Hell, when I first got here he told me he was leaving.” “He always said he would but he never followed through with it,” Brian said getting up. “Do you know anything about his sudden change of heart?” Justin swallowed. “Uh,” he said but no other sound was emitted from his throat. “You little shit,” Brian spat out and turned around. He shook his head and crushed the joint on the ashtray. “Brian,” Justin said going after the brunet. “I’m sorry. Don’t be mad at me.” Brian turned around and in one quick motion was pinning the blond to the bed. He grabbed Justin by the neck and stared at his blond beauty. The blue eyes simultaneously revealing to him lust, shock and uncertainty. “Scared?” Justin shook his head. Brian grinned. “Liar,” he whispered and moved closer. He licked the blond’s lips and smiled when he felt Justin’s cock stirring. “You’re such a little horny bastard, aren’t you?” Justin lifted one hand and pulled Brian closer. “Fuck me.” “I think I’m going to punish you,” Brian drawled as he stared at his blond. “No sex for a month.” “You wouldn’t do that to yourself,” Justin dared him. Brian grinned and slowly his head descended. He lips met the blond’s and they kissed slowly. When they pulled back Justin was panting. “I don’t like this, Justin,” Brian said. “You’re turning my life upside down.” Justin smiled widely. “Don’t you like the adventure, captain?” Brian chuckled and straddled Justin’s body. “Adventures can be dangerous,” Brian teased as he started to rub his body along Justin’s excited frame. “Maybe I should punish you for being adventurous and inciting mutiny with James.” With each word Brian would punctuate his delicious torment by rubbing his cock along Justin’ s hardened member. “I’m going to punish you now,” the brunet drawled. “For a whole week you can’t leave this room and you have to be naked at all times.” Justin arched a brow as Brian undid his pants. “Are you paying attention?” Brian asked as he smiled wickedly. Justin only nodded and licked his lips anticipating his punishment. He watched in a sexual trance as the brunet stripped him and then removed his own clothes. Brian caressed Justin’s body with a passion rarely displayed openly. No area on the pale blond was overlooked as Brian played with his prey, teasing him to new heights of lusts. Unable to hold off his desires due to Brian’s obsessive touch, Justin let out an animalistic groan. “What is it?” Brian asked as he slowly jerked Justin’s rigid cock. Brian’s hand moved in unhurried but deliberate strokes, each pull only further tormenting Justin’s toxic state. “Brian, please,” Justin groaned as his hips buckled upwards trying to get more friction and get Brian to abandon his torturous movements. “What?” Brian asked as he caressed Justin’s face. Justin’s eyes closed and he purred. He reached out to touch Brian’s cock but the brunet slapped his hand away. “I need you,” Justin murmured in an anguished plea. “Do you?” Brian asked as he let go of Justin’s cock. He turned the blond face down. “Is this what you want?” he asked as he placed the tip of his dick at Justin’s hole. “Tell me,” he groaned as he started pushing inside. “Oh,” Justin gasped out as the pain pierced through him. “You’ll have to stop messing around with my men’s lives,” Brian told the blond. “Is that clear?” “Promise,” Justin grunted. At this point Justin would promise his very soul to end this delicious agony. “Good boy,” Brian told him as he started to fuck his man. He caressed Justin’s back and was transfixed at how Justin’s body moved in synch with his. He hadn’t been playing when he told Justin that he had to be locked up in the chamber for a week and naked. He couldn’t wait. “Yes,” Justin hissed when Brian started hitting his sweet spot his hips met every thrust. He gripped the sheets with one hand and with the other one went to touch himself. He licked his lips as he played with his piss hole. Brian got them on their knees and he started pounding into the blond. He watched as drops of sweat ran down Justin’s body. He stuck his tongue out to lick the salty skin. He was so close to cumming. “Brian!” Justin growled as his toes curled up. “Jus,” Brian moaned. Justin closed his eyes and let his orgasm envelope him. He gripped Brian tightly and felt his man shaking with him. After a few seconds he opened his eyes and smiled. “You’re so much trouble,” Brian whispered. “Did you know that?” Justin chuckled. “I’m not.” “Yes, you are,” Brian muttered and kissed the blond. He moved back and slowly pulled out of Justin. They both groaned as Brian’s cock slipped out of the smaller man. Justin rolled on his back and smiled. “Do you really want me naked?” “All the time,” Brian assured him and started caressing Justin’s chest; a little smile playing on his face. “Are you mad at me?” Justin asked closing his eyes. Brian bit his lower lip. “No, you just annoy the hell out of me.” “Hey,” Justin protested weakly with a big smile on his face. “You don’t mean that.” “I don’t mean that,” Brian whispered as he kissed the back of Justin’s neck. “You took my James away from me Justin.” “That’s not true,” Justin pointed out. After a long silence Justin spoke again. “Daphne did,” Justin told him. “And I think it’s only fair that James gets to be as happy as you are.” Brian bit Justin’s shoulder slightly making the blond jump. “You always know what to say, don’t you?” Justin laughed and nodded. He turned around again only this time he settled on his side. Brian moved to lay behind him. The blond was so happy to be there with Brian. He knew Brian wasn’t mad but he was sad and he would try to make it better. He would try his best to make Brian forget all about James. *** Justin smiled at James. “Hey,” he said and looked at Brian’s retreating back. “What did he say?” “That I would always have a place here,” James informed him. “Thank you.” “Me?” Justin asked. “For what?” “Telling me where Daphne was,” James replied. “For comforting Brian in the only way you can.” Justin blushed and laughed. “Right.” “For being a fool, not able to hold your drink and listening to old ladies tales,” James said and chuckled. “Hey,” Justin said frowning. “Daphne told you about that lady, huh?” James nodded. “Of course and Brian did too. We had a good laugh but...you know.” Justin laughed. “It was crazy.” James smiled. “I thought you were going to kill us,” Justin told him. “Which you probably would have if things had gone differently between all of us; after all it’s what you all do.” “Try not to think about it,” James offered. “It’ll fuck with your mind.” Justin sighed. “I miss my family already.” James leaned forward on the rail. “Have you called them? There are satellite phones here and I’m sure that Brian is going to let you use them now.” Justin shrugged. “I don’t know what to say.” “Mom, dad I fell in love with a pirate,” James teased. “That would do it; fast and precise.” “They’ll have a heart attack,” Justin pointed out. He bit his lower lip and looked at James. “Do you think he’ll ever want to settle down with me?” “He’s setting down with you, Justin,” James informed him. “You achieved more in a few months than any man in this lifetime has. Don’t push too hard and don’t rush it Justin, there is a fine balance between the two. The rest will come with patience and a little luck. It will take time for Brian to open up completely.” “I mean like,” Justin said and took a deep breath. “Would he want to have a family with me and leave this world behind? Do you think he would do that for me the way you’re doing it for Daphne?” James didn’t know how to answer such a loaded question. He could see it was something that Justin really wanted. He looked away from the blond and into the horizon. “I don’t know,” he answered finally deciding to speak the truth. Justin sighed. “I hate so many things about him, you know. Is that wrong?” James shook his head. “I don’t think so. It definitely makes your relationship interesting and no one will ever accuse you too of being boring.” “But even with all of his imperfections I love him so much,” Justin said smiling. “I wouldn’t change anything not even things about himself if I could. I’m crazy, aren’t I? How can I love and hate him at the same time?” James smirked and nodded. “I don’t hate him,” Justin concluded after some introspection. “I hate the life he has chosen. I wish it was different.” James nodded completely understanding. Sometimes James wished he had made different choices along the way. But maybe with Daphne’s help he could now have a chance at a better life. “Anyway,” Justin sighed dramatically “I’m not going to bore you any longer with my problems. I’m going to let you say goodbye to the rest of the crew,” he said and laughed a bit. “I never thought things would end up like this, you know. Me staying and you leaving it’s the epitome of irony.” James flashed back to when Justin was injured and how Brian had been so worried even though he tried desperately not to show it. He recalled how delicately Brian wrapped his bandana around Justin’s injury. He remembered thinking that it was going to be interesting to watch their relationship progress. Everyone on board suspected that their feelings for each other had changed, the only ones oblivious to the situation was Justin and Brian. But James never expected things to take the turn they did. He looked at Justin again and realized he wouldn’t change a single thing that had happened previously because it helped frame who he was now. And now he had a future with Daphne. Finally smiling James replied, “I never expected things to end up like this either. But it sure has been a fun ride.” Laughing Justin could only nod and agree since no truer words had been spoken. *** Justin came into the living room of the boat and looked at Brian who was nodding at something that Ted was telling him. He watched Brian for a few seconds thinking how hot the man looked with just a pair of black swimming trunks and his black bandana on. Pretty much everyone was there with the exception of James who had left two days ago, also Franck and Dante weren’t present. “I think it’s crazy,” Ethan said. “Such treasures don’t exist.” “What treasure?” Justin asked intrigued. Brian walked over to the blond and kissed him. “Don’t worry about it; it’s not a big deal.” “I really want to know,” Justin assured the brunet. “Come on please share your information with me.” “He’s part of the crew,” Ryan pointed out. “Yeah,” Kenneth said. “If he helps he’s even entitled to part of it. Like all of us.” “Doesn’t that mean less for us?” Boris asked. “I don’t want anything,” Justin informed them. “I only want to know what you’re talking about.” “Treasures,” Andrew said smiling. “The treasure of the Incas and Aztecs, some of them were lost at the beginning of the 16th century in the basin of the Caribbean Ocean. Those and many other ships carrying gold bars sunk there.” “What are you an encyclopedia?” Ethan asked frowning. “I read it some place,” Andrew said smirking. “And you’re going after it?” Justin asked. “There are rumors that someone has already found part of it,” Ted said as he sat down. “And they hid it again.” “Why would they do that?” Justin asked arching a brow. “Pirates are notorious for doing it,” Brian informed him and smirked. “They can’t actually go to a bank and exchange bars of gold for money.” Justin nodded as he thought about it. “But what do you have to do with the hidden treasures?” “If we find where it is,” Sam said. “We could go get it.” “But that’s stealing,” Justin pointed out and then rolled his eyes. “What am I saying? Of course you guys will do this. Ah,” he grunted at his own stupidity. Some of the guys laughed. “He’s getting the hang of it,” Kenneth said. “So,” Ethan said licking his lips. “If I was a pirate...” “You are a pirate,” Henry pointed out. “Right, so it won’t be much trouble to think where one could go hide a treasure that you don’t want found,” Ethan said. Everyone seemed to keep quiet. Justin thought they were all nuts. They would put themselves in danger to get a treasure that might not exist and that belonged to someone else. “Hawaii,” Kenneth said and shook his head. “There has to be someone guarding the wealth,” Brian pointed out. “Some tribes do that if you give them something in exchange,” Michael pointed out. “Fiji islands,” Ethan suggested. “What is that island called...uh...?” “Ovalue?” Brian asked arching a brow. Justin didn’t even know there was a place with that particular name. “I think not,” Sam said shaking his head. “How about Australia?” “How about Bastimentos?” Kenneth asked. “I don’t think he would go to Panama,” Brian said as he put his finger over his lips. “I say Croatia,” Boris said taking out a cigarette. “No,” Brian said shaking his head and smiled. “Andaman,” he said. Ethan frowned. “What?” “Andaman would be the perfect place,” Ted said suddenly. “But I’m getting off the boat if we go there.” “Pussy,” Boris said smirking. Ted got up and rushed towards the man. “Fuck you!” he hissed. Justin opened his mouth not sure what was going on. He watched as Ted grabbed Boris by the neck and pushed him against the wall then pulled out a knife. “That’s enough,” Brian hissed. “He lost one of his eyes there,” Ethan whispered to the blond. “I guess he has never gotten over it.” Justin sighed. He understood Ted’s reaction now. Boris pulled away and glared at Ted. Ted put away his knife and went to sit where he was. “I’m going to research this more in depth and will let you know what I find.” Michael was smiling during the whole conversation and even at the little scuffle. “This is going to be great. It’s bringing out the best in everyone. Our group will pull together to find the gold,” he said. “If we don’t kill each other first,” he muttered to himself. “Well, while your cheering group camaraderie let’s not forget how dangerous this can be,” Andrew said smirking, he couldn’t wait. It had been a long time since they had seen any real danger. “I think the island is still inhabited,” Ryan said. “We’ll have to kill a few if they resist. I’m sure that...this guy is using the help of the neighboring tribes.” “Dangerous,” Michael said smirking. “Just how I like it.” “Dangerous?” Justin asked already scared for Brian’s safety. “Nothing we’re not used to,” Henry said. “I think they’re cannibals.” “You’re saying that to get on my nerves and scare me,” Justin pointed out. “No, he’s not,” Brian assured the blond with a little smile. He could see Justin was really frightened by the conversation but he was there to protect his angel. Justin sighed. “Right,” he whispered. “Well, I’ll let you guys go back to your plans of wealth and glory.” Brian frowned and followed the blond. “Hey, are you okay?” “I just don’t like this dangerous stuff, you know,” Justin answered. “I’ll go work with some of the techniques I learned at school.” “The art school you went while you were back there?” Brian asked. “Yeah,” Justin smiled widely. “It was great. I learned a few things.” Brian bit his lower lip. Justin sighed at Brian’s reaction. “It doesn’t matter. This is where I want to be, here with you. No regrets, remember?” “Right,” Brian said not at all convinced. “I’ll be in our room in case you need me,” Justin said and walked away quickly. Brian followed Justin and the blond knew it. Justin didn’t want to start a fight when things were going so well. They entered their chambers in silence. Justin sat on the bed and sighed. He wanted to pretend that he didn’t miss his life back home but unfortunately he usually wore his emotions on his sleeve. “Well,” Brian said licking his lips. “We can see you’re a bad liar.” Justin shrugged. “Why did you come back?” Brian asked not sure why he was asking such a question now. “Because I love you,” Justin said looking up at Brian who had moved to stand in front of him. “And I made a decision between missing my old life and missing you. I can live without my old life, I can live without my family and friends but I couldn’t live without you.” Brian kneeled in front of his guy. He caressed Justin face and sighed. “Okay, let’s make a deal.” Justin frowned not sure what Brian had in mind. “After we do this job,” Brian said. “Well, if Ted finds more proof we’ll go do this job,” he informed the blond. “Afterwards we will stop at different places in order to find you an art teacher and for a few weeks or so you can go to class and learn something. We’ll go to as many places as you want.” Justin’s eyes shone. “You mean that,” he stated. “I do,” Brian answered. “We’ll get you all the paints in the world, Jus. Anything you want. I want you to be happy Justin.” Justin threw himself at Brian. He had never been so happy in his life. He laughed knowing that Brian loved him dearly. “As far as I’m concerned, I’ve found my treasure.” Brian grinned and nodded afraid to speak further since his emotions for the blond were too raw and on the surface. So instead he did what he did best. Brian kissed Justin passionately, enjoying each moment of it. Seeing Justin’s big smile was his fortune and he wanted it to be always like that. It was a treasure he never wanted to lose.
