Druid
Chapter 3
Brian knocked on Quinn's office door. He wasn't looking forward to this meeting
one little bit.
"Enter," Quinn's voice called from behind the door.
Brian took a deep breath and pushed open the door. "You wanted to see me?" Brian
asked knowing that he had been summoned to the inner sanctum for no happy
purpose.
"Fucking right, mate!" Quinn responded. "What the fuck is going on with you,
Brian?"
"I'm getting old in case you haven't noticed," Brian replied sarcastically.
"Stop that, Brian. Have you been telling all your clients that you are being
forced out of the Quoin because you're turning thirty?"
"What?" Brian was truly flabbergasted. He had expected Quinn to ream him out for
being late last night after he had dropped Justin off at Pats'. His client had
been waiting when he got to the Quoin. He could clearly see the anger in Quinn's
eyes when he had finally arrived.
"I asked if you have been complaining to all your clients about having to stop
tricking at the Quoin when you turn thirty."
"I haven't complained to any of them," Brian said truthfully.
"Then why did I have Thierry Demarais in my office telling me that I should let
you stay?"
"Fuck!" Brian responded.
"Don't like being caught in your own machinations?" Quinn asked angrily.
Brian's temper flared then. "Not that you'll believe me, but I asked Thierry not
to speak to you about that."
"Then why did you tell him at all?" Quinn asked sharply.
"He wanted to book me for next month when he was going to be back in Ireland and
I told him that wasn't possible."
"Couldn't you just leave it at that?"
"He wanted to know why, so
I told him." Brian gave a shrug.
"He's not the only one who's been to see me," Quinn said suddenly.
"Oh?"
"Three others, so you must have been telling the same sad tale to all your
clients," Quinn stated.
"I've only told those who wanted to book me past next month," Brian tried to
explain. "I had to tell them something."
"They're all threatening to take their business elsewhere if you're not here."
Brian chuckled. "Shit! I knew I should open my own brothel."
"It's not funny, Brian. I've tried to treat you like a son, and this is the
thanks I get. You're ruining my business."
"That was never my intent," Brian said truthfully. "I know the rules."
"I'm
going to
break them for you," Quinn said tentatively.
Brian was stunned. "What do you mean?" he asked wanting Quinn to clarify what he
thought he had heard.
"You can stay if you want," Quinn conceded.
"And trick?"
"And trick," Quinn stated.
"God, Quinn, I don't know what to say."
"Say you'll stay, my boy."
"I'm not sure I can," Brian admitted rather hesitantly.
"But isn't that what you wanted?" Quinn asked exasperated.
"I guess it was, but how much longer can I realistically do this?" Brian asked.
"Till you're sixty
at least," Quinn grinned.
"I thought maybe
eighty-five," Brian grinned back.
"So what are you going to do?" Quinn asked now that the tension between them had
been broken.
"I have to think about this, but I do appreciate the offer, Quinn."
"Let me know when you make up your mind. Oh, and Brian, don't you ever fucking
be late for a client again!"
"Yes, sir," Brian replied with a smile. "Thanks for giving me this option."
"I only want what's best for you, Brian."
Brian nodded and closed the door behind him. Now he had some more thinking to
do.
-----
Brian pulled the Gold Wing to a stop in front of Pats'. He was there to see
her but he hoped he would also see Justin. It was his day off with no one booked
for that night. He wanted to take Justin somewhere and fuck him to within an
inch of his life or maybe just talk to him or maybe kiss him all over or maybe
tell him all about what was happening in his life. He didn't really know what he
wanted from the blond, maybe all of the above. He had never felt anything like
this for anyone before.
"Brian," Pats called from the porch. "Is anything wrong?"
Brian realized he had been sitting on his bike thinking about his blond. He
stood up and removed his helmet. There was no sign of Justin. He hoped he was
there.
"Nothing's wrong," Brian said to her. "I was just thinking."
"You haven't made a decision yet, have you?" Pats asked. Brian shook his head.
"Come on in and tell me all about it."
Brian walked up to the house. "Is Justin here?" he asked.
Pats smiled to herself. Justin hadn't been able to talk about anything else
except Brian since he had come home on the man's bike. Brian seemed just as
interested. Pats had never known Brian to be interested in any man for longer
than one night. She had hoped Justin might be that exception. Maybe she had been
right. "He's upstairs," she replied. "Primping because I told him you were
coming," she thought to herself.
Brian felt suddenly warm. He was going to see his blond again. "Is he going to
join us for lunch?" Brian asked hopefully.
"I think we might be able to twist his arm and make him do that," she replied
with a grin. She swore she saw Brian blush. "He's got it bad," she thought.
They went inside and Pats finished setting the table and readying things for
lunch. She saw Brian glance tentatively at the stairs several times and again
she smiled. She wanted Brian to have someone to love, and her cousin was the
most kind and loving man she had met in a long time. Suddenly she felt a tension
in the room and turned to see Justin come down the stairs carrying little Mick.
He was tickling the toddler's belly and making him giggle.
Justin froze when he saw Brian, and they both locked eyes in a smoldering look
that raised the temperature of the room several degrees.
"Um, I
he was
um
awake
um
so I
um
brought him down for lunch,"
Justin stumbled to get any words out, his eyes still locked on Brian's.
Mick was struggling to get down and finally Justin looked at him and set him
down on his feet. He was able to walk but not terribly steady on his feet. He
tried to run towards Brian calling "Unc Bi, Unc Bi!"
Brian grabbed him just before he lost his footing and scooped him into a big hug
and kiss. "Take it easy there, little man."
Mick hung on Brian's neck and kissed him back. Justin smiled at the warmth the
tall man showed to the little boy.
Pats watched the interaction and grinned. "Okay, 'Unc Bi', put him in his high
chair and let's get this show on the road."
Pats dished up lunch and they began to eat. She couldn't help but notice the
furtive looks passing between Brian and Justin. Little Mick pounded on the tray
of his high chair wanting his uncle's attention.
"Hey, where are your manners?" Brian teased him and fed him a piece of the fruit
he was chewing on. Mick smiled up at him.
"Have you got any plans for the rest of the day?" Pats asked.
Brian looked at her sheepishly. "I was wondering if Justin might like to come
into Cork with me. We could look around and maybe have dinner."
Justin blushed and grinned. "I'd love to," he said softly.
Brian felt his dick jump. He loved the sound of his blond's voice. "Let's go,"
he said quickly standing up.
"You haven't finished lunch," Pats protested as they rushed out the door. She
chuckled. "I wonder how long it will take your uncle to get your cousin into
bed, little Mick? It looks like it's just you and me for the rest of the day."
Mick tried to feed her a piece of his fruit as she leaned in to kiss him.
-----
Brian had brought another helmet for Justin hoping he would agree to go
somewhere with him. And he had. Brian could feel Justin's arms wrapped tightly
around him and it made him feel warm and happy in a way that he had never
experienced.
They sailed along the highway towards Cork each lost in their own thoughts.
Brian knew exactly where he wanted to take Justin. There was a little pub that
had a terrace overlooking the harbor. They could go there for a beer and a talk.
He really did want to talk to this man. They had shared barely more than a few
words since they had met, yet Brian knew Justin was special in some primal,
visceral way, and he thought Justin felt the same way about him. They needed to
get to know each other a bit.
Once they were seated on the terrace and had had a sip of beer, Brian decided he
had to begin this process. "Justin," he said and for some reason his hand found
the blond's as it lay on the table. He wove his fingers in with the other man's
and looked into those blue eyes that seemed to see right into his soul. "I don't
know what's happening, but I feel things for you that I never knew I could
feel."
Justin's face lit up in a smile that warmed Brian to the core and made the
rather gray day seem filled with sunshine. "I've felt something I can't quite
explain too," Justin said staring into Brian's hazel eyes. "I've had a few
lovers since high school, but nobody has had the effect on me that you have."
"Really?" Brian asked with a sheepish grin. That simple statement meant so much
to him. Maybe he wasn't crazy to think that there could be something good
between the two of them.
"Really," Justin replied with that same smile.
"I don't know anything about dates or relationships or
love
or any of that
shit," Brian said shaking his head.
"Well, I'd say we're on a date right now, and you're doing just fine," Justin
smiled.
"I am?"
Justin nodded and squeezed the fingers that were still intertwined with his.
"Why did you bring me here?" he asked.
Brian stared into his eyes not really sure what Justin was asking or how to
answer that question. "I brought you here because
" Brian hesitated, "because
this is one of my favorite places." Brian never revealed anything about what he
liked to do to anyone. He could hardly believe that he had said this much to
this man.
Justin squeezed his hand again. "Why is it your favorite place?" he asked
quietly.
Brian knew he had to tell Justin the rest of it, no, wanted to tell Justin why
he loved this place. "I like the sea," he said slowly. "I come here and watch
the ships in the harbor and dream about going to faraway places and experiencing
new things."
"Why haven't you done that, gone traveling, I mean?"
"I've been
busy," Brian said not sure he should tell Justin what he did with
his time. "And I never had anyone to go with. It wouldn't be the same all by
myself."
"I understand that," Justin replied. "I don't know if I could have come here if
I didn't know anybody. Patricia was nice enough to let me stay with her, but
it's lonely without my family and I would have been scared all on my own."
"I don't see you as the scared type," Brian said sincerely.
Justin chuckled. "That's nice of you to say, but I'm a little afraid of crowds
and strangers."
"You didn't seem to be afraid of me at Blarney Castle," Brian said. "You came
with me without a second thought."
"You're special."
Brian couldn't believe his ears. "I am?"
"Yes, I knew that the minute I laid eyes on you. It was like we were already
friends."
"You felt that too?"
Justin nodded. "We have some kind of special connection. I know we do."
"Why are you afraid of crowds?" Brian asked. It seemed important that he know
this.
"I was bashed at my school prom," Justin said softly. Brian could feel the hurt
and terror in his words. "I don't usually tell anybody, but
you are special,"
he added, a little tremor in his voice.
"How could anyone hurt you?" Brian asked running his right hand along the side
of Justin's face, his left still linked with Justin's on the table.
Justin clasped Brian's hand as it reached his jaw and pulled the palm over to
kiss it. Brian shuddered at the contact of Justin's lips on his skin.
"What's this?" Justin asked looking at Brian's wrist.
"It's a cowry shell bracelet that I bought from a street vendor," Brian said
nonchalantly.
"Not the bracelet. This," Justin said pushing the bracelet aside to reveal a
tattoo beneath.
Brian started to pull his hand away but Justin hung on and Brian didn't struggle
anymore. "It's something from a long time ago."
"Tell me," Justin asked with a look of determination on his face.
"I'm not sure how to explain it," Brian said with a grimace.
"Try. I'll understand."
Brian knew on some inexplicable level that Justin would understand. "Okay," he
said slowly. "It's called a triskele. It represents, to me, the three parts of
my life."
"So each leg is a part of you?" Justin asked.
Brian nodded. "I saw it in a tattoo shop when I was still a teenager. It
appealed to me." He wondered if he should tell Justin about Druid at this point,
but decided against it. "It's a Celtic symbol. I'm not really sure what the
actual meaning of it is, but when I saw it I thought it could represent my past
life, my present life and the life I would like to have."
"And what life would you like to have?" Justin asked.
"You're not going to ask about my past or present?" Brian asked with a raising
of his eyebrows.
"Nope. You can tell me that later if you want to. I think what a man wants or
dreams says a lot about the kind of man he is, so tell me."
"How old are you?"
"Eighteen, why?"
"You seem older, wiser."
"I'm an ancient soul."
"I believe that," Brian said seriously.
"I was kidding," Justin said embarrassed.
"But there's truth in humor, and I feel that you are an ancient soul."
"Are you avoiding telling me about the life you want?" Justin asked wanting to
change the subject.
"Oh, I forgot," Brian joked. "I'm in the middle of deciding what exactly that's
going to be. I have to make some big changes in my life in the next few days. I
do know that I don't want to be alone anymore. I want someone
"
"Someone what?" Justin asked.
"I don't know, just someone."
"To love?" Justin persisted with those wide knowing eyes.
"Maybe."
"I'm available."
Brian choked on his beer. "What did you say?"
"I said I'm available for love, fucking, and anything else that might go along
with it."
"Are you crazy? You don't even know me."
"Yes, I do, and I probably am crazy. But I know what I feel and I want you."
"How
how can you be so sure?"
Justin shrugged. "I just am."
"Let's go," Brian said pulling Justin to his feet.
"Where are we going?" Justin asked as Brian pulled him along out of the pub
towards his motorcycle.
"I'm going to take you up on the fucking part," Brian stated bluntly.
"Good! My cock's so hard that I can barely stand it. It has been every time I've
seen you."
"Mine too. Get on, before I throw you down in the dirt and ravish you right
here."
Justin laughed and climbed on the back of the bike. He knew this was right. This
was what they both wanted and needed.
They flew along the roads back towards Blarney. Justin wondered where Brian was
taking them. They couldn't go to Patricia's and fuck. He hoped Brian realized
that. Maybe they were going to Brian's flat. That would be good because Justin
wanted to see where he lived. There were so many things about this man that he
didn't know. The only thing he knew for sure was that they were meant to be
together. He felt it in his bones, in his heart, in his soul.
They zoomed past the entrance to Patricia's house and Justin relaxed a bit. They
were surely going to Brian's. But Justin was totally unprepared for what he saw
when the bike screeched to a halt.
"What is this place?" Justin asked taking in the faηade of the castle and the
sprawling grounds that surrounded it.
"I guess you could call it my home," Brian stated and pulled Justin off the
bike. He grabbed his blond's hand and pulled him through the front entrance and
up some stairs. They were running by the time they reached a door that Brian
unlocked. He shoved Justin inside and slammed the door closed behind him.
Brian ripped at Justin's clothes until the man stood naked before him. He pulled
Justin against his body and kissed him so ferociously that Justin thought he
might die before Brian let him have a breath. When Brian released him a little
bit, he gasped for air and whimpered, "Please."
Brian dropped to his knees and licked Justin's stomach sticking his tongue into
Justin's navel and nipping at various spots. Justin could see an aura around
Brian when he managed to look down at the man. He radiated power and lust and
love. Justin felt the strength of it as he wrapped his fingers in Brian's hair.
When Brian finally took his throbbing cock into his mouth, Justin thought he
would pass out. He reached back to find the door mercifully close and he leaned
against it as Brian worked his magic. His cock pulsed and leaked under Brian's
skilled tongue and lips. Feelings beyond description coursed through his body
and he screamed Brian's name as his body ignited and burnt with the intensity of
the passion he felt for this man.
Brian grabbed Justin who seemed about to collapse and lifted him up carrying him
gently to his bed. He pulled back the covers and laid his blond down. His eyes
soaked up every inch of the beautiful body that lay before him. Justin's breaths
were still short and raspy but were gradually becoming more normal. Brian
quickly got rid of his own clothes and was about to lie down beside Justin, when
the blond's eyes fluttered open. "Wait," Justin said. "I want to look at you."
For a few seconds Brian stood still and allowed Justin to study him. "Do I meet
with your approval?" he asked as he slid into the bed.
"Most definitely," Justin whispered as his mouth was once again claimed by
Brian's.
The kiss lasted so long that Justin lost track of time. He had had a few lovers
but no one had ever kissed him like this with such intensity and longing. Brian
kissed along his jaw and his neck and his collarbone. His cock was hard already
and he needed more. "Please," he begged once again.
Brian rolled him over and used his tongue along Justin's spine. He felt Brian
lift up and wondered what was wrong. He turned his head to look questioningly at
the man.
"You have a magnificent ass," Brian said with a grin.
"I've been told that it's pretty nice, but it's never been called magnificent
before," Justin giggled.
"Well, it is. That is the only possible word to describe it."
"Thank you very much, but what are you planning to do with it other than admire
it?"
"I'll show you," Brian said in a husky voice that went straight to Justin's
cock.
Brian spread the cheeks of Justin's ass and inserted his tongue. Justin rose up
from the bed at the incredible sensation.
"Haven't you been rimmed before?" Brian asked.
"No," Justin gasped.
"Then you're going to love this," Brian declared and got his talented tongue
working on Justin's pucker.
Justin had never felt anything like this before. He whimpered and begged and
cried out as Brian did incredible things to his ass. When he was a total pile of
mush, whimpering and gasping with each stroke of Brian's tongue, Brian suddenly
stopped.
"What's wrong?" Justin gasped.
"I want to fuck you. Is that all right?"
"God, yes. Please!"
Brian grinned at him and donned a condom. "Tell me if I hurt you," Brian said
seriously. "You're very tight and I do have a big cock."
"I noticed," Justin gasped.
Brian lubed his dick and Justin's hole. As he positioned his cock at the
spasming opening, he whispered, "Ready?"
"Yes, now," Justin moaned.
Brian pressed in breaching the first ring of muscle. Justin groaned and Brian
stopped. He waited until he felt Justin relax, and then pressed in farther.
Justin cried out but reached back to grab Brian's arm to tell him he was all
right and wanted more. Brian thrust all the way in and they were joined as one.
Brian kissed the back of Justin's neck and waited.
"Please," he heard Justin moan.
He began thrusting and was surprised at how quickly Justin picked up his rhythm
and thrust back into each stroke. They pounded against each other until sweat
dripped from them and their breathing was ragged and intermittent. Brian felt
his orgasm building and reached under Justin to stroke his cock. He wanted his
blond to come at the same moment he did.
He felt Justin tense and cry out, "Oh, God, now Brian!"
Brian pulled on Justin's dick and felt it spasm. His own orgasm ripped through
him as Justin's hole contracted around his cock. The world exploded in shards of
white light and then all was still.
"Are we dead?" Justin managed to ask as he sucked in gasps of air.
"I hope not," Brian groaned. "I want to do that again."
He heard Justin laugh and he rolled off his blond and disposed of the condom. He
felt Justin turn over and roll into his body. His arms went around Brian just
like they belonged there. And they did.
"I need a little rest first," Justin whispered and closed his eyes.
Brian kissed the top of the blond head and they both drifted off.
