The Mark Of A Man
After an intense work day the lovers needed to unwind so they changed
their clothse ate a quick dinner and went to
“Oh
fuck Bri”
“What
Baby?”
“Don’t
what Baby me, look at what you did”
“What?”
“As
if you didn’t know”
Brian
really had no idea so he went to see what Justin was complaining
about. The bruises on Justin’s
neck were starting to emerge.
Justin stood staring at his neck in the mirror and
cursed.
“Baby
its really not that bad”
“Not
that bad are you nuts I look like I’ve been attacked by a gang of
vampires!”
Brian
stifled a laugh.
“Don’t
you dare laugh at me; shit what am I going to do?”
“Well
its cold out, just wear a
turtleneck”
“At
lunchtime you’re taking me shopping”
“Why?”
“You
did this to me and I only have two turtlenecks; better yet you can go by
yourself you know my size”
“Mmm yes I do”
“Stop
that”
“Ok
I’m sorry, I promise I’ll by you more
sweaters”
“And
don’t you dare send Cynthia cuz I’ll
tell her and she wont go for you”
“Brat”
“Asshole”
“Come
here Baby let me kiss it and make it better”
“No,
you’ll probably make it worse as it is I’ll be bruised for a
week”
“You’re
a man you can take it.”
Oh yeah what if it were
you?”
“Never
happen but if it did I’d take it like a man; it wouldn’t bother
me after all I’m yours aren’t I”
“Yeah
but then the whole world would know”
“I
think it already does; come on bed”
“Humph”
As
the lovers snuggled Brian leaned in to give Justin a kiss and then he licked
the bruises.
“No
Brian please”
“Shhh
Baby I promise no more marks just
kisses”
The
warm breath on Justin’s neck made him turn slightly to give his lover
more access and true to his word Brian only kissed and licked the
bruises. Then he proceeded to
kiss and lick his way all over Justin’s body to properly
apologize. When done the lovers
were sated and fast asleep in each other’s arms.
The
next morning Justin found a turtleneck with a high
collar. He mumbled curses as
he put it on. The static made
his fine hair stand on end and it was so tight he felt like he was
choking. Brian controlled himself
and stifled his laugh.
“Brian
I look awful”
“No
you don’t”
“Liar”
“Just
fix your hair and you’ll be fine and it is cold
outside”
“Yeah
outside but in the Art Dept. under all the lights I usually wind up half
naked by the end of the day”
This
revelation was new to Brian and he raised an eyebrow.
“Maybe
we can turn down the heat”
“That’ll
be a first”
Ignoring
the last comment Brian said, “come on let’s go”, but thinking
to himself this is not going to be a good day.
Most
of the morning went well. Brian
had meetings with a few clients and Justin was busy with the artists and
draftsmen. After his last meeting
Brian went to check on the latest work for their newest
client. When he got to the Art
Dept…
“Hey Sunshine, holy
shit!”
Justin
had removed his turtleneck leaving only a white wife
beater. To Brian he looked so
hot but the bruises on Justin’s neck stood out like
beacons. Justin being so engrossed
in his work had forgotten the reason why he wore the
turtleneck. His co-workers discreetly
ignored the hickies. With
Brian’s arrival and obvious exclamation Justin turned beet red, grabbed
his shirt and stormed out in a flurry of
curses. He kicked every trashcan
on his way back to his office.
Brian could only follow his angry
partner. Also following but at
a safe distance was their staff.
Those
who worked for Brian and Justin were fiercely
loyal. They knew the partners
as fair and generous employers who worked hard, played hard and fought
hard. There was never a dull
moment at the office even when quiet.
When
Justin got to the office he continued his
tirade. Brian grew annoyed at
the childish outburst and started his own heated
response. They stood in front
of Cynthia’s desk yelling and cursing at each other then they turned,
each man went into his own office with a wall shaking slam of their
doors.
“Asshole/Brat”
At
the door of the outer office the staff assembled awaiting the outcome of
the ‘spat’. Cynthia
could hear Brian pacing, throwing papers and slamming
drawers. Justin kept kicking
the metal trashcan all over his office.
After
a few minutes it got quiet. Cynthia
crept to Brian’s door and cracked it
open. She saw Brian gently knock
at the door that connected the two offices and slowly opened
it.
“I’m
sorry Baby, please forgive me”
Brian
stood looking very contrite and
remorseful. In a flash a blond
tornado flew out of the adjoining office and straight into Brian’s
arms. The partners hugged and
kissed.
Cynthia
closed Brian’s door and gave the thumbs up to the waiting staff
who with a collective sigh and some scattered clapping
went back to work relieved and happy.
Cynthia’s intercom buzzed and before Brian could speak she said,
“I know hold all calls”.
Then she heard the distinctive giggles of her blond
boss. By the end of the day life
at the agency returned to normal.
Saturday
night found our beloved pair again having fun at
“Fuck
me Baby”
Justin
growled low and sexy. He gave
Brian the ride of his life. Taking
full advantage of Brian’s slightly inebriated state Justin was able
to play out a few of his fantasies.
Brian denied his baby nothing.
When the lovers finally got out of bed it was late Sunday afternoon
having absolutely nothing to do but to read the paper and spend a lazy day
together.
Monday
morning Justin arose early he planned to do some studio time before heading
to the office. Leaving a note
for Brian he left the loft before Brian got out of
bed. When Justin made it to the
office he went directly to the Art Dept. and plunged into
work. After a while he realized
the usually chatty artists were all a bit
subdued. He was
puzzled…
“What’s
going I on, did I miss something important?”
“Uh
Justin?”
“Yeah
Tim”
“Um
did you see Brian today?”
“Not
really he was still asleep when I left this morning and I came directly here,
why?”
“Oh
oh”
Huh?”
All
of a sudden it got very quiet, more
quiet.
“Justin”
“Hi
Bri…”
Brian
stood at the door not looking pleased.
Justin broke out in giggles.
“Not
funny Justin”
---belly
laughes---
“Justin
do you have a moment I’d like to speak with you in my
office”
“Of
course Brian”
As
Justin went for the door Brian stepped aside to allow him to go
first. Justin quickened his pace
and then sprinted to their office with Brian close at his
heels. The staff followed at
a safe distance. Justin streaked
past Cynthia to his office and slammed the
door. Cynthia heard the lock
click.
“Come
back here you little twat!”
Again
belly laughs. When Brian realized
Justin locked the door he went into his own office and tried the connecting
door. Finding that door locked
as well Brian began pounding on it.
“Get
out here now!”
---more laughter---
“I
swear Justin I’ll get you for this”
“Whatever
happened to taking it like a man”, Justin said through the door accompanied
by more giggles. Brian grumbled
but then calmed himself. Justin
opened the door and faced his partner.
“Baby
it’s not the marks on my neck but I didn’t have anything to
wear”
“I
can see that”
“Well
I had to borrow one of your turtlenecks”
“Brian
we’re hardly the same size”
“Tell
me about it I had to keep my jacket on all day I’m sweating like a pig
and I feel so silly”
“Actually
Bri you don’t look so bad its kinda
sexy”
“Oh
really”
“Uh
huh”, Justin purred into Brian’s ear.
“Oh
yeah well look”
Brian
stepped back and took off his jacket.
The ends of the sleeves barely covered his forearms and his belly
was peeping out. Justin
couldn’t help but crack up.
Brian suddenly lunged making Justin jump back and trip over a
chair. As he stumbled back he
made a grab for Brian’s arm.
Justin landed hard on his plump ass taking Brian with
him. The partners sat in a heap
on the floor. After the shock
wore off they both started to laugh.
Cynthia
burst in upon hearing the crash and saw her bosses on the floor laughing
so hard that they couldn’t get up.
She shook her head and walked out.
The awaiting staff got the thumbs up as Cynthia waited for the intercom
to buzz. Instead the door opened
and Justin led Brian out.
“Cynthia
I’m taking the old man shopping he needs some new
turtlenecks”
“Justin”,
Brian started to whine.
“Come
on Bri just take it like a man---giggle”
---snort---
