Chapt 12

	Brian left Justin sleeping snugly in his bed the next morning.  After two rather rough and one gentle love making session last night, Brian was actually surprised he was feeling this awake at 7am.  Brian lightly stroked his temple before grabbing his coat and heading out the door.  He had one stop to make on his way to the office and intended to make the most of it.  It took maybe fifteen minutes to reach the tall office building downtown.  Without waiting for the young female receptionist at the door, Brian sauntered confidently into the office and took a seat directly across from Craig Taylor.

	“Well, good morning Craig.  What a pleasure to see you again,” Brian drawled.

	“Too bad I can’t say the same thing, whoever you are,” Craig stiffly replied.

	“Oh, I’m sorry.  How rude.  Our meeting was so brief yesterday I never did get a chance to introduce myself.  I’m Brian Kinney, your son’s lover,” Brian said pleasantly and extended his hand toward Craig.
	Craig could only look at it with disgust, refusing to even acknowledge the gesture.  Brian pulled his hand back with a shrug.

	“Well now that we have all of the pleasantries out of the way we can get down to business.”

	“What type of business could I possibly have with you?” Craig asked in surprise.

	“I figured that was obvious.  How about the business of your son and what’s best for him?”

	Craig huffed before answering.

	“What’s best for my son?  How could you possibly ask me that when you are one of the main problems?  I wanted him to have the opportunity to straighten out his life and then he meets you, destroying any chance of normalcy.  All you do is encourage him to pursue his deviant behavior.”

	Brian couldn’t help but laugh at Craig’s ignorance.  The man was still living in the Stone Age and didn’t seem to know a thing about Justin or the wonderful man he had become.

	“Your son is gay whether you like it or not.  He was gay long before he met me and will be until the day he dies.  The only thing I have done is persuade him to live his life on his own terms and stop hiding from civilization.”

	“You’ve corrupted him,” Craig accused.

	“You left him to die on the fuckin street.  Do you have any idea what your lesson cost him?  He was attacked, left for dead, and if it weren’t for a group of teenage hustlers he would be.  He was a goddamn mute until I met him.  Is that your idea of proper guidance?”

	“We didn’t know,” a female voice interrupted from the doorway.

	Brian whipped around to come face-to-face with the woman he assumed to be Justin’s mother.  They had the same beautiful blonde hair and sparkling blue eyes.  Her face was softer than Craig’s and her voice more compassionate.  The drawing Justin had done of her had a remarkable likeness.  Brian smiled, wanting to reassure the woman that he came in peace.

	“You must be Justin’s mother.  My name is Brian Kinney.  It’s a pleasure to meet you Mrs. Taylor.”

	This time when Brian extended his hand, Jennifer took it and gave a gentle shake.

	“Call me Jennifer.  And how do you know my son?”

	Brian took a deep breath before responding, “Justin and I are involved romantically.  He’s rapidly becoming a significant part of my life.”

	Jennifer eyed him warily.  “Aren’t you a little old for Justin,” she asked.

	Brian opened his mouth to reply but Craig interrupted, “ Old?  Jennifer, isn’t he a little too male to be calling himself our son’s lover?”

	“For God’s sake Craig, Justin’s gay and there’s absolutely nothing we can do about that.  I want our son back.  I don’t care if he’s gay or straight.  I just want him back in our home and if Mr. Kinney can make that happen then I’m willing to listen and you better as well or Justin won’t be the only one living somewhere else.”

	“Jennifer…”

	“I’m serious.”

	Brian was shocked by the sudden turn of events.  He had assumed that both Taylor’s were in agreement on any decisions concerning Justin.  Obviously Craig’s dismissal of Justin was a sore subject and a topic of frequent discussion in the Taylor household.

	“So Brian, tell me how I can get my son back.  I don’t even know how to find him.”

	“He’s been staying with a friend of mine, as well as at my place.  He’s actually there right now if you wanted to talk to him.  All he wants is your acceptance.”

	“No, I can’t go now.  I have to think about what I want to say.  Tomorrow would be better.  Will you bring him to our house tomorrow evening?  I could cook his favorite meal,” Jennifer suggested.

	“Fine.  Jennifer, you can have your little family reunion but there are conditions to Justin coming home,” Craig added.

	“What type of conditions?” Brian asked suspiciously.

	“He is NOT to bring his disgusting lifestyle into our home.  There are plenty of places he can go without me having to see it.  Second, while out in places that respectable people frequent he is to keep that part of his life private.  And finally, he is never to see you again.”

	Brian actually winced at the final statement.  The thought of never seeing Justin again broke something deep inside of him.  He wanted to do what was best for him.  Even though it would be hard, this had to be it.

	“And what will Justin get in return for abiding by your rules?”

	“He’ll get his family back, a place to live, and his college tuition paid in full.”

	“At PIFA,” Brian added.

	Craig groaned, “Of course, at PIFA.  Hell, I’ll even get him a new dorm room on campus but that’s only if he agrees to all of the conditions.  I think I’m being more than fair.  Jennifer?”

	Craig raised an eyebrow in question.  Jennifer looked back and forth between the two men, inspecting Brian carefully.

	“Brian, would you be able to stay away from Justin?  Give him a chance at having his family back and a future?  You’re much older than him, certainly there are other men you would prefer to date.”

	Brian shook his head.

	“Before Justin I had never even considered dating anyone, so no that’s not an option for me.  I’ll stay away, but it’s only because I want what’s best for him.  You hold up your end of the deal and so will I.  I can’t be everything that he needs and maybe he will be better off finding somebody his own age.  Just promise me he’ll be happy.”

	Jennifer smiled sadly, reaching out to lightly caress Brian’s cheek.  She realized this man really did care about Justin, maybe even loved him.

	“He was happy before and he will be again.  I promise.  Bring him home tomorrow and I’ll do everything I possibly can to erase the last three months from his mind.”

	That was what Brian was most afraid of.  He nodded his head, taking Jennifer’s business card with their address.  He hesitated for a moment, wondering if he was doing the right thing but then out of the corner of his eye, he could see the framed family photo on Craig’s desk.  He lifted it up for a moment, looking carefully at the happy little family.  Justin’s smile was radiant, his arm slung casually around the small body of his sister.  They really did look like the perfect country club family.  This was the type of lifestyle that Justin was accustomed to.  How could be possibly deny him that?  Brian gently placed the frame back on the desk, a renewed sense of determination.

	“We’ll be there,” Brian stated and was out the door, without another word.

	The whole day at work dragged on and all Brian could think about was Justin.  He never took a promise lightly and he wasn’t going to start now.  He had one more night with his lover before he let him go.  He planned to savor every moment.  He was out the door at exactly 6pm, practically sprinting to his car.
	As the loft door slid open, the wonderful aroma of someone cooking filled his nostrils.  He couldn’t keep the smile off of his face when he caught sight of Justin with his shirt unbuttoned and bent over looking into the oven.

	“Now that’s what I call a welcome home,” Brian called out and immediately went to embrace the master chef.  Justin beamed as Brian held him tightly, stroking his back underneath Brian’s designer suit.

	“I hope you don’t mind that I decided to spend the day at the loft and have some groceries delivered for dinner.  I wanted to thank you for putting me back on the right course and not allowing me to drive myself crazy again.”

	“No problem, crazy lovers tend to be high maintenance so it was purely for selfish reasons.”

	Justin gave him a knowing look, “Of course, how could I be so naïve to think you actually cared about what happened to me.”

	“Youthful error, don’t worry.  All is forgiven.”

	Brian and Justin exchanged smiles, before Brian stepped back and allowed him to continue making dinner.  The table was set with candle light and soft mood music, everything Brian had once hated and now wanted to cherish before it all disappeared, before Justin disappeared.  The meal was perfect, low carb and great taste.  Brian was amazed at Justin’s ability to turn a variety of vegetables into a savory sauté.  He wished there had been more opportunity to discover the boy’s other hidden talents.
	After dinner Brian had expected Justin to want to watch a movie or sit and talk, but realized they must be on the same wavelength when he headed straight for the bedroom.  As much as Brian wanted to touch Justin immediately, he needed to watch him even more and commit to memory every part of his body.
	When Justin turned around he was surprised to see Brian standing in the doorway.  He had figured Brian to be pressing up against him with his rock hard cock by now.  One look in Brian’s eyes and he knew what he wanted.  Justin found himself even more turned on by Brian’s obvious lust, just from looking at his still clothed body.  Slowly Justin lifted the hem of his shirt, exposing inch by inch of flesh.  Once he tossed his shirt to the side, Justin tweaked his nipples with the pads of his fingers, alternating between soft and rough tugs.  His head lulled back slightly as he allowed the pleasure to course through his body.
	It took all of Brian’s will power to remain in one place while he watched the beautiful blonde touch himself but he wanted to wait until Justin was completely uncovered.  Luckily Justin was just as ready to feel Brian’s touch and began popping open the buttons of his jeans.  He swiftly pulled them down his legs, exposing his lack of underwear.  Brian’s breath caught at the sight of Justin hard and ready to be ravaged.  He was on him in a flash, hands roaming through Justin’s hair and down his spine to his perfect bubble but.  
	As much as Justin was enjoying Brian’s caresses, he needed more and that meant Brian was way over dressed for the scenario he had in mind.  Pulling back, Justin quickly went about ripping Brian’s clothes from his body.  Justin let out an audible sigh of relief when it was finally flesh against flesh.  Brian chuckled, enjoying Justin’s reaction to his body.  Brian pushed Justin onto the bed, licking and kissing down his chest with his need to taste his sweet essence one more time.  The smell of Justin’s flesh was intoxicating and Brian could feel his own pre-cum bubbling up as he roughly took Justin’s cock into his mouth.
	Justin gave a high-pitched squeal when he felt himself completely engulfed in Brian’s warm mouth.  He knew he wouldn’t last long with Brian’s tongue expertly massaging him from base to tip.  Brian took in every last drop before crawling back up Justin’s body and pulling him into a desperate kiss.  Justin could feel his need grow again as he tasted himself on Brian’s lips.  They continued to kiss and grope, while Brian slipped on a condom and prepared Justin’s tight little hole.  After making sure he was well lubed Brian slowly pressed in, allowing Justin time to adjust to his fullness.
	The two kept up a slow steady pace, wanting the moment to last forever.  When neither could take it any longer they came together, Brian jerking Justin off in time with his thrusts.  They collapsed onto the bed, completely satisfied.  Once Brian had disposed of the condom, he pulled his lover up close and held him throughout the night.  Justin fell into an easy sleep, but Brian remained awake the entire night.  He never stopped his light caresses all over Justin’s body or the soft kisses he rained on every part of his face.  When the sun finally came up and Justin began to stir, Brian prepared himself for the inevitable.  It was time to do what had to be done and say good-bye.
