Justin hung up the phone and looked at Brian who was getting ready for bed. He went over to the brunet and sat down. “What is it?” Brian asked. “Why are you looking so gloomy?” “That was Jeremy. He told me that Billy is alive and so is Cody.” Justin told him. “What?” Brian asked getting up. “You are shitting me.” Justin shook his head. “And the call just before that was to tell me that…Rickert is dead.” Justin said. “I know it was Stockwell. He is trying to protect his ass just in case Rickert would change his mind and say something about him. He will kill anyone that he thinks is on his way.” Brian pinched the bridge of his nose. “This never ends, does it?” Brian asked as he ran his fingers through his hair. Justin got up and put his hands around Brian’s waist. “It will be okay. I’ll take care of everything.” Justin promised him. Brian put his forehead against Justin’s. They smiled at each other and moved towards the bed. “Mmm, baby boy.” Justin whispered. Brian’s cock got hard immediately. He loved when Justin called him that. Justin took of his pants and pushed Brian back in the bed. He took off Brian’s briefs and smiled. He reached for a condom and then got in the bed. “Turn around.” Justin ordered. Brian rolled on his stomach and waited for Justin to do what he wanted. He sighed when he felt Justin’s hands roaming his body. He would never get tired of it. “Oh, fuck!” Brian yelled as Justin suddenly dived for his ass. Justin was doing his best to drive Brian crazy with need. He pushed his tongue inside the brunet and smiled when he heard Brian whimpering and pushing back, wanting more. Justin pulled away and ripped the square foil open. He put the condom on and pulled Brian onto his knees. “Justin, please.” Brian said. “What do you want, baby boy?” Justin asked. Brian smiled and pushed back. He gasped when he came in contact with Justin’s hard cock. “Is that what you want, naughty boy?” Justin asked. Brian nodded. Justin grabbed his cock and aligned it with Brian’s hole. He pushed a little bit, letting the head of his penis breach Brian. “Oh.” Brian moaned and threw his head back. Brian gripped the sheets and then felt Justin pushing the rest of the way. He was taking deep breaths trying to calm down. He was grateful that Justin would always take a few extra seconds when he fucked him without lube. “Ready?” Justin asked but didn’t let him answer. Justin pulled back leaving just the head of his cock inside the brunet before he pushed hard inside. Brian could swear he was seeing stars. “Like it?” Justin asked in a husky voice. Brian nodded. “I can’t hear you.” Justin told him pulling Brian’s head back by his hair. “Yes.” Brian screamed. “Yes.” Justin smiled and leaned forward to lick Brian’s neck. He was fucking Brian hard and fast. He was marking Brian all over with his mouth, his tongue, his teeth, his fingers, his nails. He loved to hear Brian moaning under him. He loved to see Brian shaking and not able to keep it together. He just loved it and he knew how much Brian enjoyed it too. “You just love it when I push inside of you…like this. Don’t you?” Justin asked out of breath. “Yes. Fuck!” Brian hissed. “Yes.” Justin smiled and pushed Brian’s upper body down in the bed. He kissed Brian’s neck and then licked it. He pushed his two fingers inside the brunet’s mouth and smiled when Brian started sucking on them. “You have a great mouth.” Justin whispered. Brian started sucking him harder. Justin moaned and pushed hard inside his lover. He could feel Brian’s tongue running all over his hand and sending shock waves throughout his body. He felt the brunet’s tongue circling his palm, electric shocks running up his arm, so he pulled his hand away not being able to take such sweet torture. He was the one that was supposed to be driving Brian wild. He took hold of Brian’s hair and pulled the brunet’s head back. He kissed the exposed neck and smiled when Brian quivered. “God.” Brian whispered as he pushed back against the blond. “Yes.” Justin gasped. Justin put a hand on Brian’s hip and ran the other up and down Brian’s sweaty back. He couldn’t get enough of Brian. He licked Brian’s neck and smiled when the man under him trembled. “Do I make you weak in the knees, baby boy?” Justin asked and accelerated the pace. Brian opened his mouth to say something but nothing came out. He gripped the sheets hard as Justin started hammering inside of him. He grabbed his cock and started to jerk himself off until Justin pushed his hand away. “Don’t be naughty. That’s mine.” Justin told him in a hoarse voice. “Please.” Brian moaned. “Please what?” Justin asked as he gripped the brunet’s hips. “I…I want to cum.” Brian told him. “I need…I need to.” Justin smiled and moved his hand to take Brian’s cock on his hand. He started sucking on the brunet’s shoulder as Brian’s walls started to close on him. When he knew he couldn’t hold out any longer, he speed his actions on Brian. He ran his thumb over Brian’s pee hole and the brunet shook and came hard. “Baby.” Justin gasped as he felt his cock being squeezed hard. “Brian!” Justin pushed into Brian once more and poured his hot cum inside the brunet. He let his weight fall on top of the brunet who couldn’t hold anymore and just dropped to the bed. Justin took a deep breath and making sure he held the condom, he pulled out of Brian. “I missed that.” Brian told him. Justin nodded, knowing that Brian loved to be rough fucked. He got rid of the condom and got back in the bed. He kissed Brian hard and handed him his own briefs so he could clean up. Justin watched Brian for a few as the brunet slowly started to fall asleep. “I’ll always take care of you, baby.” Justin whispered and kissed Brian’s temple. Justin put his head on Brian’s chest and closed his eyes. Brian opened his eyes as best as he could. He was so tired and barely awake. He looked at Justin with a big smile and then let sleep claim him. *** Stockwell was in his office when Justin came in. He arched a brow and wondered what the detective was doing there. “We have something to talk about.” Justin told him. “Is that so?” Stockwell asked. Justin sat down and smiled. “I have a family to protect and frankly, I'm getting tired of this. I know Cody is somewhere around and I can’t live my life like this. I have two kids that I want to enjoy. I want to see them grow up and have a life.” Justin said. Stockwell nodded. “So, I’m not doing this anymore. I’m backing away. So, just leave me alone.” Justin told him. “I don’t know what you are talking about.” Stockwell told him. “Well, I said what I came to say.” Justin told him. “I’m going to go now.” Stockwell watched him go and smiled. He was sure that Justin was just trying something new. He had met men like Justin before. They never gave up. So, he didn’t bother on calling Cody and stop him from accomplishing his orders. *** “It’s good to be back.” Jessica said. “I can’t believe we left for so long.” “I know.” Daphne said smiling. “Justin and Brian are coming later on.” “They are going to be so surprised when they see Angel.” Jessica told him. “He’s gotten so big.” Daphne nodded and pulled out a gun. “What is that?” Jessica asked. “The gun that Justin gave me.” Daphne told her. “Where should we put it?” “Have you lost your mind?” Jessica asked. “What are we going to do with a gun?” “Shoot anyone that comes into the house at night. Justin said that he told the family that we had a gun. They also have one. If they want to visit after dark, they have to call or get shot.” Daphne said. “Just put the gun down.” Jessica said shaking her head. “Okay. It’s just for our protection.” Daphne told her. Jessica nodded but didn’t like the idea of having a gun in the house. There was a knock on the door and Daphne went to open it. She came back with Brian and Justin. Jessica was ready to say something to Justin about the gun until she saw the blond and Brian. They both look skinnier and as tired as hell. She knew that they were working hard, but she didn’t know how much. She smiled knowing that Justin was just trying to protect them. She didn’t have the heart to say anything about the gun then. *** Brian looked at a piece of paper he had in his hand then at the building in front of him. He looked at his watch and wondered why he had told Carr not to come with him. He looked at his watch again and knocked on the front door of the building. He waited for a few seconds but nothing happened. He knocked again and again nothing. “Hey, Kinney.” Cody said coming from behind Brian. Brian turned around and opened his eyes wide when he saw Cody pointing a gun at him. He was there because one of his informants had called him telling he had some information for him. “You guys are so easy.” Cody said smirking. “Don’t worry. I’ll make sure to shoot you in the head.” Brian went for his gun, but before he could reach it, he heard the shot being fired. He swallowed and frowned not knowing what had happened. He was okay and Cody was on the floor and bleeding. “Little shit.” Miller spat out as he stood next to Brian. “What are you doing here?” Brian asked looking at Miller. “Shouldn’t you be saying ‘thanks for saving my life’?” Miller asked smiling. Brian nodded and looked at Cody’s body. “Jesus. What a waste.” Brian whispered. “He wasn’t much.” Miller pointed out. Brian looked at Miller and nodded. “I know that. I always say that when I see people like him end like this. They never used their lives for anything good; nothing but to waste it away.” Brian explained. “He won’t be bothering anyone anymore.” Miller told him as he put his gun away. “So, you still haven’t answered my question.” Brian said pulling out his cell phone to report what had happened. “After Billy came back, I called my boss. Told him what was going on and he sent two other detectives. We are still in business.” Miller told him. “That’s good to hear.” Brian said. “How did you know I was here?” “I’ve been following you. One of my guys is following Justin, making sure he is okay.” Miller told him. Brian had never been so happy to hear that someone was watching Justin. He could breathe easier every time Justin was out alone. “And the third one?” Brian asked as he squatted in front of Cody to check for a pulse. “I am pretty sure that he is going nuts watching Billy.” Miller said smirking. Brian looked back and smirked. He knew that Billy could be a handful. *** It had been a month since he had seen Stockwell. Justin knew his plan would work. He knew that. He just didn’t know it would go so badly. He looked at the tape in his hand and frowned. He put it in the tape player and hit play. ~“Hey.” Ethan said. “I need to talk to you.” “Is that so? What can I help you with?” Stockwell asked. “I want out. I don’t want to do this anymore. I’m tired of working my ass off to give half my money to you.” Ethan hissed. Stockwell laughed. “What are you going to do about it?” Stockwell asked. “I’ll go to the police or…or tell everyone.” Ethan told him. “I just…I can’t do this anymore.” “Come with me.” Stockwell said.~ Justin fast forwarded the tape little by little until he found Ethan and Stockwell talking again. ~”What are we doing here?” Ethan asked. “I’m thinking.” Stockwell told him. “Are you sure you want out?” “Yes.” Ethan told him. “Look, I know that you have a business to run, but I’m not like them. You got guys who have killed a man just for pleasure. I only spent a night with a guy. Yes, I got to do some of my fantasies with him but I paid for that. Why do you insist on making me pay for it? Why do we have to keep on paying for it?” “Don’t take it personal.” Stockwell told him. “It’s business.” “Well, I don’t want to do business with you anymore.” Ethan hissed. “There is a way.” Stockwell told him. “How?” Ethan asked. Stockwell laughed and then a shot was heard. “No.” Ethan whimpered. “Please don’t kill me.” Another shot was heard and then Stockwell’s voice. “Now you are out.” Stockwell told him.~ Justin stopped the tape and took a deep breath. “Hey.” Brian said opening the kitchen door and walking inside. “You are not going to guess what happened to me today.” Brian couldn’t wait to tell him about his encounter with Cody. “Ethan is dead.” Justin told him. “What?” Brian asked. “What are you talking about?” “I had asked him to help me and he refused. I didn’t insist but I left the house mad. I thought it would make him want to do it for me. Call me and said he had changed his mind. That was like three days ago.” Justin told him. Brian walked towards the blond and sat next to him. “I guess he decided to go after Stockwell on his own.” Justin said. “Shit. How do you know?” Brian asked. “What happened?” Justin hit the eject button and showed Brian the recording tape. Brian picked it up and then looked at the blond. “It’s enough to get Stockwell for murder.” Justin told him. Brian nodded. “They found him this morning. They called me because they knew that I knew him. No one had touched him when I got there.” Justin told him. “I took the recorder he had.” Brian couldn’t believe what he was hearing. “Jesus. I want this to be over, Brian.” Justin told him. “Rick talked to me.” Brian said. “Ronny is going to talk.” “Do you think it will be enough?” Justin asked. “We have Billy and Hunter and I am sure more will come forward.” Brian said. Justin nodded. “It ends now.” Brian told him. “We did it.” “It’s over.” Justin whispered. “It is, baby. It’s over.” Brian assured him. “I should have been able to protect him.” Justin whispered as he closed his eyes. Brian hugged him tightly. He rubbed Justin’s back knowing it calm the blond down. “It’s not your fault. He did this because he wanted to. He took a stand for himself.” Brian said. “He did a good thing.” “It got him killed.” Justin protested. “I think he knew it might. He knew who he was dealing with.” Brian said. Justin sniffed and nodded. “It will be okay. I’m here for you.” Brian told him. They kept hugging each other in silence. Justin pulled back a little and looked at the brunet. “Weren’t you going to tell me something?” Justin asked. “It’s not important.” Brian assured him and kissed him. Justin smiled a little and hugged Brian tighter to him. Brian thought how lucky he was, for so many reasons. *** “We did it.” Miller said raising his beer. The others raised their bottles and drank. “Thanks for your help.” Justin said when he stood in front of Ted and Emmett. Ted smiled nodding. Emmett kissed his friend on the cheek. Justin smiled at them and walked towards Miller. “Chris would have been so happy.” Miller commented. “I think he is.” Justin said smiling. “Wherever he is, he has to have the biggest smile ever.” Miller smiled and clink his beer with Justin before they drank. “Did you guys make a copy of the evidence?” Cynthia asked them. Justin nodded. “Everyone has a copy.” Justin assured her. “I even have copies.” Hunter said. “Can I have a beer?” “No.” Brian told him. “You are no fun.” Hunter told him. Brian smirked and shrugged. “So, what now?” Billy asked as he looked at Jeremy. “Now we arrest Stockwell, once an order is issued. We get all our evidence in order and that would be that.” Miller told him. “Thank god.” Brian told him. “I was getting tired of this.” Justin nodded and kissed him on the lips before he moved away towards Rick. He was halfway through when his phone rang. He looked at the number but didn’t recognize it. “Taylor.” Justin said putting his beer on the kitchen counter. “It’s me.” Stockwell told him. “What the fuck do you want?” Justin asked. “You ruined my life.” Stockwell told him. Justin frowned not knowing how Stockwell knew they had information on him and were going to use it. “I want you to pay.” Stockwell hissed. “Fuck off.” Justin told him and hung up. Justin walked towards Rick to tell him what had happened. They needed to find who was giving information away. Brian took a sip of his beer and looked at Miller who was smiling like a fool at Billy. Brian looked heavenward and reached for his cell phone when it started vibrating. “Kinney.” Brian said. “I have your son. I will trade him for Justin.” Stockwell said before he hung up.
