Lariats and Lacrosse Sticks Ch. 10

Tanner paused for a minute. "The Okie Monster, or their pizza. They have good pizza."

Kip turned to the waiter. "We'd like two Okie Monsters and a cheese pizza."

The waiter nodded as he wrote down their order, and then left with the admonishment that their food should be delivered soon.

Kip smiled at Tanner. "So, what did I just order?"

Tanner chuckled. "Basically a fancy frito chili pie."

Kip leaned back, resting his arms on the back of the booth. "Okay, that sounds good to me. I was a little worried."

Tanner smirked. "Is that why you ordered a cheese pizza too?"

Kip grinned. "Maybe..."

Their waiter came back and gave them their drinks. Kip and Tanner watched him walk off. Kip turned with a grin. "Nice butt."

Tanner choked a little, instantly remembering all his misgivings.

"You still dating the lacrosse player?"

Tanner nodded. "Randy and I got married, in Maryland."

Kip nodded. "Too bad Oklahoma doesn't recognize it."

Tanner shrugged. "It's coming."

Kip leaned in closer and smiled at Tanner. "I don't know if you remember, but my boyfriend and I like to find other couples...to play with. We're both mostly bottoms, so it keeps everything fun."

Tanner swallowed hard. He studied Kip for a moment, any interest he might have had earlier in he and Randy's relationship, was long gone now. While he was trying to come up with a suitable rejection, their food was delivered. That gave Tanner another few minutes to think.

Once the waiter had left he turned to Kip. "I'm flattered, really. But Randy and I don't share. Sorry."

Kip looked at him for what seemed like a very long time. Eventually he waved his fork at Tanner. "No sweat. You two were so hot...you know."

Tanner felt relief wash off him. "That's really nice. But we'll pass."

From there the conversation relaxed, Kip didn't seem to want to make things too difficult for Tanner, which he appreciated. By the end of their lunch together, they were both enjoying the others company. They paused outside and Tanner extended a hand.

"It was good to catch up with you. Good luck to you and your boyfriend."

"Same to you," Kip said as we shook hands. "Good luck with vet school too."

Tanner shook his head. "Soon, damn I hope it's soon." They waved as they parted and Tanner resumed his trek to the library.

Randy's knife went through the chicken fried steak like it was butter. He and Fred had convinced their spouses that one splurge meal every few weeks would keep them from losing their sanity and eating nothing but fried and sugary stuff. He popped the bite into his mouth and bit down.

"Oh, man. Jenny, this is delicious," said Randy.

"Well, eat up. We don't eat like this around here any more." She looked at Fred and lifted one eyebrow. "Do we, Fred?"

"No my princess. We most certainly do not. We eat green healthy vegetables that build strong bones and make sure I don't fall over with a heart attack." Fred plastered a fake grin on his face and beamed at Jenny.

The boys chuckled for a moment, then looked at Jenny. Her face was frozen as she gave Fred a scowl. She held it for a few moments, then shook her head and started laughing. "I can't stay mad at you, you crazy old man."

Fred winked at Randy and Tanner. "This is what happens when you've been married as long as we have. You just get a little crazy."

Randy chuckled and talked around a mouth filled with Jenny's delicious cooking. "We haven't been married a year, and already we're more than a little crazy."

Jenny slowed, then cast a glance at Fred. "Are you going to ask?"

Randy and Tanner looked at each other, then back at the older couple. "What's wrong?"

"Nothing, really. It just gets harder and harder to find someone to rent the apartment to. You know, nice folks like you," Jenny said.

Randy glanced at Tanner, who gave him an almost imperceptible nod. He turned back and grinned at Jenny. "How would you feel about another couple, like Tanner and I, only women?"

Jenny looked a little confused. "Are they nice girls?"

Tanner nodded. "Yeah, and they're married too. One of them plays for the woman's rugby team."

Fred looked at Jenny and shrugged. "Sounds fine to me. It'd be nice if they liked to help in the gardens like you boys do."

Tanner grinned. "Oh, I don't think that would be a problem. Tammy loves growing things."

"Perfect!" said Fred, his eyes gleaming.

The four of them quietly finished dinner. Randy suddenly became aware that the other three were watching him. He realized he was smacking the plate with enough force to make it rattle. He grinned and sat the spoon on the plate.

"Sorry. I guess I got too excited about something that wasn't veggies for my own good."

Jenny chuckled and patted his cheek. "I have something I think you might like," she said.

Jenny disappeared into the kitchen for a few minutes and then came back with a huge pecan pie. She motioned to Fred with her head. "Grab the plates, hun. The forks are right beside them too."

Fred disappeared into the kitchen as Jenny sat the pie on the table. She grabbed the knife from the pile in Fred's hands when he came back through again, and handed it to Randy. "If you wouldn't mind cutting the pie. I would sure appreciate it."

Randy grinned and plunged the knife into the concoction of eggs, sugar and pecans. It was one of his favorite desserts, and Jenny knew that. He cut himself a huge slice to first, and Tanner reached over and popped him on the arm.

"Pig! Leave some for the rest of us."

Randy looked completely unrepentant. "There's plenty for everyone. But pecan is my favorite."

Jenny chuckled. "It's okay, Tanner. I knew Randy would make sure to get himself a big enough piece that I won't have to fight Fred to stay out of it tomorrow."

Randy shoveled the huge piece of pie he'd cut for himself onto a plate, and then grinned at everyone. "Who else would like a piece?"

Tanner popped him again and chuckled. "We all do you big oaf. But don't cut us pieces big enough to feed the whole lacrosse team."

Randy cut the pie into reasonable slices. "Nope, there are guys on the lacrosse team who could eat the whole pie."

Randy slipped the knife under each piece of pie and deftly moved each one to the plates Jenny had placed beside him. Soon the only sounding the room was the contented sounds of four people enjoying excellent pie.

A short time later Randy was noisily scraping his plate for the last bits. If they had been alone in their apartment he would have licked the plate clean. But he kept up at least a few manners while he was at Jenny and Fred's house. He grinned at the trio and grinned.

"This was an excellent meal! Easily in my top ten."

Jenny smiled and waved her hand at Randy. "Oh, you're just trying to flatter an old woman."

Randy grinned. "Is it working?"

"Young man, you need to stop flirting with my wife," said Fred.

Randy glanced over, Fred grinned and winked at him.

Then Jenny reached out and patted the back of Fred's hand before she looked at the boys and smiled. "We wanted to talk to you about something, boys."

Randy and Tanner exchanged glances. "Yes, ma'am?"

Fred slid his hand across the table and rested it on Jenny's. He smiled and nodded at her. A smile came to her face without the need to look at Fred. "Well, we wanted to give you boys something."

Tanner shook his head. "You don't need to give us anything. We love it that you've been so good to us."

Jenny leaned forward and patted each of their hands. "Oh it's not much. But it means a lot to us. We know you're leaving so we wanted to give you something to remember us by."

Randy looked at Jenny and Fred, the expression on his face was one of concern. "Ya'll okay? Is there anything we can do to help?"

Fred waved his hand at Randy and chuckled. "Oh, heavens. It's nothing like that. We just want you to have our old wedding rings. They're plain and we replaced them with new ones years ago. So they've just been sitting in a drawer. We thought you could have them recast or something."

Randy and Tanner looked at each other and then the older couple. "We can't take your wedding rings."

Jenny grinned and patted Randy's hand. "Nonsense. Who else would we give them to? You boys are the closest we've ever had to children."

She walked to the china cabinet and pulled out one of the drawers. She lifted out a small box, walked back and handed it to Tanner. He flipped up the lid and peered inside. Nestled against a bed of cotton were two plain gold bands.

When Tanner looked up, there were tears streaming down his face. Randy was barely keeping his own emotions from overflowing too. He looked at the couple.

"This is really too much. You sure you want to do this?"

Jenny nodded and grinned. "Absolutely. We've talked it all through. We want you to have them."

Tanner grabbed Randy's hand and squeezed it. They turned their tear stained faced to the older couple.

"We would be honored. And no, we're never melting them down."

Randy sat looking at the envelope with its distinctive orange print. It had arrived with today's mail. The mail carrier had no idea that he was holding their lives in his shoulder bag. Randy had spotted it immediately, and knew what it had to be—Tanner's notification about veterinary school.

Randy had struggled with texting Tanner to let him know. But he'd want Randy to open it and tell him what it said. Randy thought Tanner was perfect, but someone else might not see the perfection. He didn't want to text that kind of news to Tanner. So, Randy had been forced to sit in the same room with the letter all afternoon while he waited for Tanner to come back from class.

His nerves were shot when he heard the click of the door. Randy rocketed out of the chair, his books flying everywhere, and yanked the door open. Under any other conditions he would have laughed at the expression on Tanner's face. But he was too anxious.

"It came. Open it!"

He thrust the envelope in Tanner's hand and then crossed his arms over his chest. Randy was about to burst with expectation but was trying to be cool about it. Tanner stood in the open doorway and studied the letter in his hand. He looked back at Randy, and the fear was plain on his face. He tapped the side of it against his palm a few times, obviously hesitant to open the packet.

"Open it already, dammit!"

Tanner lifted his pocketknife from the bowl he'd dropped everything into last night and pulled open the blade. Carefully, he pressed it back along the seal and slit the paper open. He eased open the top as if he were questioning that its contents were safe. Randy began to fidget in anticipation.

Finally Tanner slipped the letter out, and unfurled it slowly. His eyes scanned down the page. The anticipation was tearing Randy up. After what seemed like a millennium to Randy, Tanner looked up. At first his face held no expression, then a smile exploded with the intensity of July sun in Oklahoma. The next words were some of the sweetest Randy had ever heard.

"I got in."

The simple statement seemed to bounce around the room. Echoing and multiplying until it filled their apartment. Then the world stood still for just an instant, before Randy screamed out.

"You're in! You're in!"

He grabbed Tanner around the waist and yanked him tight. Screaming at the top of his lungs, he spun Tanner around the room. After a minute or two, he dropped Tanner and started covering his face with kisses.

"Holy crap! Let me breathe."

Randy gave Tanner a little space, but refused to let him go. "So, what did they say? We need to frame this sucker."

Tanner chuckled and scanned down the page again. "They just congratulated me on getting in, gave me some dates for orientation, general form letter kind of stuff."

"They can do all the form letter kind of stuff they'd like. So long as it says you got in vet school!"

Tanner grinned and pulled Randy into a tight hug. "It does, and I did."

"We have to go celebrate. Steak, shrimp, whatever you want."

Still grinning Tanner replied, "Steak. I like beef."

Randy snickered. "Yes, yes you do. I think we can take care of that too.

A soft voice drifted through the open door. "Boys? Everything okay?"

Randy sprinted to the landing to see Jenny staring up at them with a concerned look on her face. "No. Everything is great! Tanner got accepted into vet school. We're going to go out and celebrate, would you and Fred like to go with us?"

She smiled and waved her hand at them. "Oh heavens no. You boys go celebrate. Tell Tanner congratulations from us."

Tanner sat on the edge of the bed pulling off his boots. Their evening had been outstanding, and Randy had taken him to the best steak house in Oklahoma City. Tanner enjoyed every bite, but even more he relished the weight of not knowing from his shoulders. He unbuttoned his shirt and pulled it off, working his head from right to left to loosen his muscles. He felt Randy's hands on his bare skin and turned to smile.

"You keep that up and I might just let you stay."

Randy leaned down and kissed Tanner on the back of his neck. "I'm so proud of you. It's going to be so fun at state."

Tanner leaned back against Randy and sighed. "I'm so happy, and so glad I'm with you."

Randy's hands ran under Tanner's arms and caressed his chest. Randy found his nipples and tweaked them. Electric pulses ran through Tanner and he sighed softly. He relaxed under the attention and soon closed his eyes to enjoy what Randy was doing. After a few minutes, the movement stopped, and Randy moved away. He turned in time to see Randy's clothes flying across the room. He was back on the bed in seconds, holding Tanner against his now naked torso.

Tanner sighed, he could feel Randy's hardness pressing against his back. He turned and took Randy in his arms and kissed him hard. "I love you. Thank you for putting up with me while we waited."

Randy slid his hands over Tanner's back and slid them lower until he was cupping Tanner's tight butt. He squeezed and leaned down to kiss along Tanner's neck.

"You know you're about to get fucked if you don't stop."

Randy chuckled. "Well damn, it took you long enough."

Tanner laughed and stepped off the bed. He grinned at Randy as he popped open the button on his jeans and let them fall to the floor. His briefs followed shortly afterward, his cock hovering in front of him. He climbed back onto the bed and pushed Randy backward until he fell back. Tanner crawled after his husband, and lay across him. Randy's hard cock pressed against his own created a tingle inside Tanner that left him struggling for control.

He lay across Randy as their crotches ground against each other. Soft moans were coming from Randy as the heat built inside Tanner. The passion was building as Randy took his nipples between his fingers and twisted them.

"Ah fuck, that feels good."

Randy twisted them again and then bit into Tanner's shoulder and started sucking. The electric jolt went through Tanner. He moaned loudly as he bounced against Randy. They held each other. Their hairy naked bodies grinding against each other as their passion built.

Tanner slid down, sucking and biting each of Randy's nipples until the volume of moans coming from Randy was filling the apartment. Tanner slid over Randy's crotch, only leaving a passing swipe with his tongue as he moved lower. He slipped between Randy's spread legs and began licking on his nuts. He tongued the heavy orbs until they were tucked tight against his hard shaft. Tanner slipped lower and wiggled the tip of his tongue against Randy's flexing ass.

"Ah, shit. That's it," Randy said.

Tanner pried Randy's cheeks apart and sank his tongue inside. The tight heat drove him harder as he rimmed Randy. The minutes slid past as Tanner feasted. He slid his tongue deep inside until Randy was begging.

"Please. Come on. Quit teasing."

Tanner smirked and reached up to grab the lube they kept beside the bed. He coated Randy's ass and then himself. Tanner pressed his cock against Randy's hole. He teased for a moment, then buried himself deep inside.

"Ah shit." Randy sighed.

Tanner paused for a moment, then started pounding. In seconds the two merged into a writhing muscular mass with cries and moans coming from them both. Tanner's muscular butt drove his cock into Randy again and again. The heat and grip of Randy's butt on him was driving him to the edge. He could feel the sweet sting of pain as his nuts slapped against Randy.

Suddenly Randy's strong hands were over him and the touch of his hot hands across Tanner's skin was the final push. With a grunt he thrust in hard and pinned himself inside Randy. His body began to shake as the euphoria overtook him. Soon his body was twitching madly as he emptied himself into Randy. The pleasure crested and fell, never wanting it to end, but knowing that it would. In a short time the waves slowed and a sense of contentment surrounded him as the last of his load flowed out.

Tanner ran his hands over Randy, his breathing labored as he returned to this world. He smiled at the sensation of Randy's hard cock pressing against his stomach, even harder than before. Tanner pressed his softening cock in again, and then slowly let it slip out.

He began fingering Randy as he curled down and sucked the head of his leaking dick into his mouth. The sweet taste of the clear elixir was heaven to Tanner. As he moved, he was banging his fingers against Randy's filling prostate. Randy's hands wrapped around his head, urging him on as he thrust into Tanner's mouth.

The combination didn't take long before he felt Randy sudden tense. Tanner pulled almost off before the first volley filled his mouth. He swallowed, trying to keep up, but a thin trickle of cum slipped from his lips. The moment stretched out as Tanner drank down Randy's pungent essence. He sucked and licked, seeking out each particle, until Randy dropped his hips to the bed and squirmed.

"Stop, stop! That's enough."

Tanner laughed and crawled back onto his husband's body to press their lips together. Tanner ran his fingers over Randy's dark blond hair.

"That was amazing, as always," Tanner whispered.

Randy chuckled. "I'm still shaking all over. That's a sure sign that I've been royally fucked."

Tanner chuckled and kissed Randy's chin. "I always knew you were royalty."

Randy smiled and wrapped his arms around Tanner. "We won't be here much longer. We can help the girls move in so Fred and Jenny don't have a lag time."

Tanner kissed the side of Randy's neck and then snuggled in against him. "That sounds good. We can borrow Dad's stock trailer to haul our stuff up there. We can get everything we need in one load."

"Sounds like we've got everything planned out," said Randy.

Tanner chuckled. "I hate to break this to you, babe. But we are more the 'let 'er rip' crowd."

Randy chuckled. "I suppose we do kind of draw drama to us."

Tanner kissed him and sighed. "So long as you're with me, everything's cool."

With a kiss, Randy wrapped his arms around Tanner. "You've always got me. Never fear, Randy is here."

Tanner chuckled as the two of them drifted into a well-deserved peaceful sleep, ready to face the world, together.
