Almost Brothers Ch. 06

Rusty clasped his hands together near this heart. "Oh Sheriff, you're so brave!"

"Come 'ere!" Cooper said and grasped Rusty around his waist. "Give your sheriff a big ole sloppy kiss!"

"But Sheriff, I'm not that kinda guy!"

"Since when?" Cooper said and kissed Rusty right on the lips.

The kiss dissolved into a passionate kiss which lasted for several minutes. Cooper ran his hands over Rusty's body and Rusty did the same. He found Cooper's erection in his briefs. Then Rusty moved behind him. He ran his hands around Coop's chest and grabbed his pecs. He squeezed them in his hands while kissing and licking Cooper's neck. Coop turned his face to Rusty and they kissed. Cooper groaned while he grasped Rusty's body against his. He could feel Rusty's erection against his butt. Then, Rusty turned Cooper around and stepped back a foot. He admired Cooper's stocky, muscled body. Cooper's cock stood out from his crotch, hard and proud. The foreskin had slid back, revealing the huge, rounded cock head. Next, Rusty undressed himself while Cooper watched.

"Rusty, you are so fine," Cooper said.

Rusty dropped his pants and shucked them from his feet. His own cock was rigid between his legs. Cooper dropped to his knees. Rusty closed the distance between them and Cooper grabbed his organ. He looked up at Rusty, his deep blue eyes fixed on Rusty's as he teased Rusty's cock with the tip of his tongue. Cooper placed his lip gently at the tip and flicked his tongue on the V shaped area created by the glans on Rusty's cock. He ran his hands over Rusty's lean, muscled thighs and then grasped his ass. He pulled Rusty to his mouth and engulfed the head of Rusty's cock as he continued to stare into Rusty's eyes.

"Oh fuck," Rusty whispered.

Cooper let Rusty's cock slip from his lips and it flung upwards, bounced a couple of times and then held steady in Cooper's face. Cooper leaned in and grabbed Rusty's cock. He sucked on Rusty's nuts as his cock pressed into his face. He licked and sucked Rusty's balls, eating them into his mouth. Rusty groaned with pleasure. He tossed his head back and reveled with the feeling of his balls in Coop's mouth. Cooper glanced up at Rusty and continued to lick his nuts. Rusty ran his hands over Coop's head and held him at his crotch. Rusty, then, pulled Cooper onto the bed and fell onto his body. They kissed passionately for several minutes.

"Coop...." Rusty said. "Roll over, man." Cooper complied. Rusty fetched the lube from his nightstand. He lubed himself and slid into Cooper.

"Ahhh Babe!" Cooper exclaimed once Rusty was completely inside him. "Give Sheriff Coop some of that big dick!" Rusty made love to Cooper for an hour.

*****

The next morning, Rusty called off from work that day and convinced Cooper to do the same. Scott was indeed sore and he, too, called in sick at work. Rusty decided it was best to get Scott out of the house, so the three of them went to the mall, just to have something to do.

Scott decided he wanted to buy some new clothes so Rusty milled around a small men's shop while Scott tried on pants in the changing room. Coop was across the way, in a sports outlet, browsing through shirts. Scott came out of the dressing room and walked to the three angled mirrors. "What do you think?" he asked Rusty as he looked at himself in the mirrors.

"They make your ass look fat," Rusty told him.

Scott sighed. "No they don't, and besides, I don't care about that shit." He turned in the mirror, checking out his butt. "Do they REALLY make my ass look fat?" Rusty ignored the question. Scott, again, looked into the mirror and, in the reflection, saw Coop talking to a woman. He quickly turned around to look at them. "Who is that woman Coop is talking to?" Scott asked nodding in their direction.

Rusty turned around and studied the woman. "I don't know who she is."

"Is she a friend of his?" Scott asked.

"I just said I don't know," Rusty replied and watched Coop and the woman with curiosity.

"I'm just asking, sheesh, don't get jealous."

"I'm not jealous. I just don't know."

"I think you're jealous," Scott said.

"I think you're an asshole," Rusty replied.

"She's beautiful," Scott said and stared at the woman. Then he asked, "Do me a favor?"

"What?"

Scott reached down and tore the tags from the pants. "Pay for these. Then, let's go over there and find out who she is."

"What?"

"Just do it, ok, Bro?"

Rusty rolled his eyes. "Fuck. Fine. Give me your credit card." Scott pulled out his wallet, dug out a card and handed it to Rusty. Rusty paid for the pants and then walked with Scott out of the shop and into the store to where Coop was talking to the woman.

Rusty pushed Scott in front of him. "You go first or he'll think I'm jealous."

"You ARE jealous."

"I am not. I just don't want him to think I am."

Coop saw them coming and motioned for them. "Here he is now. Rusty, this is Mary. Mary this is Rusty." They shook hands. "This is his brother, Scott."

"Nice to meet you," Mary said. "Ouch! I bet that must have hurt!" She said, referring to Scott's bandaged eyebrow.

"Naw, its nothing. I play baseball and sometimes the ball can take a wicked jump. No big deal." Scott hated lying to her.

The four of them chatted for a few minutes, then Mary excused herself saying she had to get back to work. They said good-byes and then the three men began walking away as Scott looked over his shoulder, watching Mary.

"How do you know her?" Scott asked Cooper.

Coop replied, "Mary and I used to work together. She got promoted so I don't see her much anymore."

"What does she do?" Scott asked.

"She's the top executive for finance in our company. A very intelligent woman."

"I think Scott's got a crush on her." Rusty said.

"I think Rusty's jealous." Scott said.

"I am not!" Rusty replied.

"Are you really?" Coop asked Rusty.

"No," Rusty told Cooper.

Cooper grabbed Rusty's hand. "She knows I'm gay."

"I'm not jealous!"

"Ok. Ok," Coop said, and then to Scott. "She's pretty, isn't she?"

"Yes, very pretty," Scott said. Then he added, "I didn't see a ring on her finger."

"She is single."

Scott stopped in front of Coop. "Do you think she'd go out with me?"

"I don't know, you'd have to ask her."

"Can you get her phone number for me?"

"Perhaps."

"I'd appreciate it if you would. Damn! I hated having to lie to her, though.

Rusty said, "Its understandable, considering the circumstances."

"But one thing..." Coop said to Scott.

"What?" Scott asked.

"If you go out with her, don't wear those pants."

"Why?"

"They make your ass look fat," Cooper said.

Rusty laughed outloud.

*****

A couple of weeks later, Rusty got home from work a little later than usual.

"Where the hell have you been?" Scott called out to Rusty as he walked past Scott's room.

"I went to the gym. Why? What's wrong?" Rusty asked.

"Nothing's wrong. I just need some help." Scott had on a new pair of dark blue slacks and a light blue, long sleeved shirt. He held out his arms. "I'm too nervous. I can't get the fucking cuffs buttoned!"

"Oh, that's right," Rusty said, "The Big Date with Mary, huh?"

"Yes, please help."

Rusty buttoned Scott's cuffs. "Ok, done. Turn around, let me see." Scott slowly turned around and let Rusty check his clothes. Aside from the small bandage on his left eyebrow which had not yet healed completely, Scott looked handsome. "Nice pants, Scott, and they don't make your ass look fat." Scott gave him an exasperated look. "Seriously, they don't. In fact, they hug your ass nicely."

"You think so?"

"Hell, yeah. Nice shirt, too. Did you pick these clothes yourself?" Rusty asked.

"I went to the mall. I had the saleslady there help me. Told her I had a date and wanted to look my best."

"She did well. You look handsome, Bro."

"I need help with the tie, too. I haven't worn one in years and forgot how to tie it."

"Where is it?" Rusty asked.

"There, on the bed."

"Put your shoes and socks on and then we'll do the tie." Scott sat on the bed and began put on his shoes and socks.

"New shoes, too?"

"Yep, new socks also."

"I noticed you had your hair cut yesterday, Rusty said, "Damn, and you're going all out for Mary."

"Rusty, man, she's beautiful. I want to look good, you know, make a good impression."

"Hell, I'm impressed," Rusty said. Scott stood up and faced his mirror. Rusty stood behind Scott. He put his arms around the big man and lifted Scott's shirt collar. He roped the tie around Scott's neck and looked in the mirror. "Scott, can I give you some advice?" Rusty asked as he tied Scott's tie.

"Sure, Bro."

"Mary's nice."

"Yes, she is," Scott said, holding his head up while watching Rusty tie his tie.

"Did you clean your truck?"

"Yes, I did that today. I got off from work early. I washed the truck and vacuumed the inside. Its all clean."

"Good. Flowers would be nice, too. Have you bought a bouquet to give her?"

"No. Damn! I didn't think about that."

"Its ok, just stop by the florist before you pick her up. Ask the florist to show you some bouquets."

"Yeah, flowers, good idea, Rusty."

"Be nice, be gentlemanly. Open the door to your truck for her, offer your hand, help her. Close the door for her. Open doors for her and let her go in first."

Scott nodded. "Yes, I know. I will."

"Where are you taking her?"

"We're going out to eat. To Tessio's in Archwood."

Rusty looked questionably at Scott in the mirror. "Italian?"

"Yes, she told me she likes Italian food. She said she likes that restaurant."

"That's good," Rusty said as he finished tying Scott's tie. He turned Scott around to face him as he pushed the tie knot up to Scott's neck. "Remember to ask her what she wants and order for her. Order wine. No beer. Do NOT get drunk." Rusty lowered the shirt collar and then smoothed the shirt over Scott's muscular chest.

"I won't. Red or white wine?" Scott asked, looking at Rusty.

"It used to be determined by what you're eating, but times have changed. I would ask Mary what kind she likes and order that or ask the waiter to recommend one."

Scott nodded. Then, "I've been thinking...." Scott began.

"Ut oh, that's a mistake," Rusty said sarcastically.

"Come on Rusty! Give me a break. I'm nervous enough."

"Sorry. What have you been thinking?"

"I thought that if I order whatever she orders, then she'll think we have something in common, right?"

"Well, maybe," Rusty began. "However, If you order something different and you comment how good it is, she might want to try it. That would give you an opportunity to offer her a taste of what you ordered. Food can be very sensual. Aside from that, you should be yourself. Order what you like."

"Yeah, good point, Rusty." Scott pulled on his collar. "Fuck, this collar is kind of tight."

"Don't pull on your collar. If you do, it shows you are nervous. And don't say fuck, shit or goddamn. Gentlemen don't swear in the presence of a lady."

"What about cocksucker?" Scott asked jokingly with his blue eyes twinkling at Rusty.

Rusty joked back, "Hell, I consider that a term of endearment."

"You perv," Scott said and then looked at himself in the mirror. "Fuck, I'm nervous."

"Where are you going after dinner?" Rusty asked.

"At first I thought we might see a movie but then I got to thinking. What happens at a movie? You sit there, staring at the screen, not talking. I want to talk to Mary. I want to get to know her."

"Good point. So what are you going to do?"

"You're going to think this is corny."

"What?" Rusty asked.

"This guy at work said his wife wanted to see the new aquarium that just opened downtown. I thought that would be nice. Women like fish, don't they?"

Rusty smiled at Scott's innocence and then nodded, "The aquarium sounds nice. You could hold her hand while walking around the place."

"I never thought about that! I'd love to hold her hand! Do you think she'll let me?"

"I'm sure she will. Oh and one more thing..." Rusty began.

"What?"

"Look, Scott, don't be thinking you're gonna get laid tonight. Mary is not the type of woman you pick up at a bar for a one-nighter. She's not some bubble-headed bleached-blonde looking for a quick fuck."

Scott stopped him. "I know. I know. And that's not what I am expecting."

"However, I'll bet she'll be thinking the other women will be jealous of her being with a handsome man like you. Probably some men will be jealous of her, too!"

Scott laughed. "If they are, I'll tell them I have a handsome brother they can meet." He grinned at Rusty who grinned back. Then, Scott pulled on his suit jacket and buttoned it as he looked at himself in the mirror. "So....how do I look?" he asked.

"You look very handsome, Scott." Rusty said. He almost added, your Mother would be proud but dismissed the idea. Instead, Rusty took Scott in his arms and hugged him tightly. "I love you, Bro, and I hope tonight goes great for you."

Scott hugged Rusty and slapped his back. "I love you, Bro." He pulled away from Rusty and looked at his watch. "I guess I should get going. I need to get flowers."

"Knock her off her feet! And BE NICE!"

"I will," Scott said and dashed out of the room.

Rusty heard the front door open and shut. He sighed and looked up to the ceiling. "Please, God, please. He's such a good man. After all he's been through. Just this one thing? Please?"

*****

Dozing on the sofa, Rusty was awakened by the front door opening and closing. He sat up as Scott was walking into the room. "Hey Scott, how did it go tonight?"

Scott tossed his keys on the coffee table. He sighed. "Mary is so nice. Ah, man, I had a wonderful time!" Scott said as he sat down next to Rusty while loosening his tie.

"Did you?!" Rusty asked with enthusiasm.

"Yeah, I did. And I think Mary did, too."

"Awesome!" Rusty put his arm around Scott's shoulders and listened.

"She loved the flowers. The guy at the florist was so cool. He was an old man. When I told him I wanted flowers for my date, he grinned and said, 'Come here' and hooked me up with a HUGE bouquet. Mary loved them! She put them in water, but, before we left, she pulled one yellow carnation out and clipped off the stem. Then, she had me pin it to her dress. Ahh man, she looked soooo beautiful." Scott was grinning.

"How sweet," Rusty said.

"We went to the restaurant. Ate dinner. I ordered different from what she did, just like you suggested, and sure enough, she wanted to taste it. So I scooped some onto my fork and held out for her. Oh, man, it was cool. Then she did the same for me." Scott was smiling from ear to ear. "After dinner we went to the aquarium and sure enough, we held hands." Scott blushed as he told Rusty this. "Oh man! The BEST part..."

"What?"

"Right next to the aquarium, is this go-cart racing track, right? I commented it was strange to have the two places right next to each other. And you know what Mary wanted to do?"

"What?" Rusty asked although he thought he knew the answer.

"She said she'd like to ride in one. So we went to the go-cart place and raced."

"No kidding?"

"I kid you not, man! There she was, dressed in this really HOT dress....and I mean, oh man, she looked HOT....and got in the go-cart and there we went, racing around the track." Scott chuckled.

"You let her win, didn't you?"

"Hell yeah! I let her win!"

Rusty giggled. "That's great, man! You did good!"

"But you know what? She told me afterward, 'You let me win, didn't you?' And I said, 'No.' But she said 'Yes, you did.' And I confessed, 'Yeah, I did.' And you know what she did next?"

"What?!"

"She kissed me. Right there beside the go-carts. She kissed me!"

"Awwwwww!"

Scott blushed again while smiling a huge smile. "Then I drove her home and before we got out of the truck, she kissed me again. Oh man, her lips are so soft and so sweet."

"Cool."

"Yeah, so then I walked her to her door and we kissed again." Scott blushed. "I told her I had a great time and she said she had a great time and asked would I call her tomorrow. Of course, I said yes."

"Of course."

Scott looked down and sighed. Then he looked up at Rusty. "I think I'm in love."

Rusty looked at Scott with concern. "I've heard you say that before."

"This is different, Rusty. Mary is totally different. I've never dated anyone like her." Rusty nodded. "Please, Bro. Believe me. The way I feel right now, I've never felt this way about a woman before. Never."

Rusty smiled at Scott. He pulled Scott to him and hugged him. "I'm happy for you, Scott."

"Thanks, Bro." Scott said into Rusty's ear as they hugged. Then they pulled away. "Is Coop here?"

"No. I'll see him tomorrow."

"Cool." Scott nodded.

Rusty yawned. "I'm tired. I'm going to bed."

"Not me," Scott said, "I'm too excited about seeing Mary again. I think I'll watch some TV. Maybe catch some sports."

Rusty got up and walked to his bedroom. He shut the door and climbed into bed. "Thank you, God." Rusty whispered before closing his eyes.
