Daniel, Lost...Then Found

"mmm sleepy. Let's go to bed" Dan said.

"Dan, your bed is across the hall, okay."

"Nope...your on your bed, I'm on your bed, 'okay."

I stepped into the bathroom to take a leak and Dan was snoring when I came back. I slipped his shoes off and put his legs on the bed, and left him there, dressed except for his shoes. I stepped across the hall and closed his room door. Back in my room I Kicked off my shoes, I laid down on top of the covers too. The bed was king size so Dan was on one side and I had lots of room on the other. I turned out the lamp and closed my eyes. In a few minutes I heard...

"psssst. TJ"

"yes Dan."

"you asleep?"

"yes Danny, I'm asleep, I can't hear you."

"TJ, YOU AWAKE?" he yelled.

"yes Dan, I'm awake."

"loved you too TJ"

"what did you say Danny?"

"loved you too, then."

"Loved who when, Danny?"

"gotta get up"

"are you sick Danny?"

"nope, gotta get up...gotta get sober"

"Danny, just lie still and go to sleep, you'll be okay in the morning, go to sleep."

"gotta get sober and tell you, got get a cold shower and tell."

"Dan you'll be sober in the morning, go to sleep." Danny rolled and fell out of bed to the floor. He was almost upright when I got to his side and he was determined to take a cold shower and sober up.

Finally I just let him do what he wanted. I lay back, closed my eyes and replayed tonight in my head. I was dozing and daydreaming about us as grown ups getting together with our kids, when I heard the water shut off.

In a few minutes Dan walked out of the bath with a towel around his waist. I gasped when I saw his body. His perfectly formed chest was a forest of dark hair, thickest between his pectorals and his treasure trail split him down the middle. The towel around his hips was not flat like his fly had been all night. It seemed to be growing as I tried to look anywhere but there. Dan had a second towel and was drying his dark hair.

"whew..sorry I got drunk there TJ. I didn't mean for that to happen."

"no big deal Dan, it's alright."

"TJ, there's more I need to tell you. I should have earlier, I wish I had earlier. But before I tell you can I ask you a question?"

"Danny, you can ask me anything, just like before, anything."

"I had this feeling earlier when we were talking but I just don't know...uh..if I'm right or not...I could be so far off base here...but I have to know...it's really very important. If I'm wrong, I'm so sorry, but I have to know...earlier you said there was only one guy you wanted as your partner...I know you said you didn't want to talk about it...but it's killing me here not knowing. TJ when you said that, by any chance were you talking about me?"

OH NO, NO, NO... He knows, what am I going to do, what do I say to him. I hung my head and just sat there, I looked at my feet, I couldn't face him. "TJ, please tell me, I need to know...was it me?" I started crying, sobs wracking my body my shoulders shaking as I nodded my head yes. I feared that he couldn't accept it, would be through with me. We had just found each other and I'm driving him away again.

Dan stepped closer and raised my head by my chin. "did you nod yes, TJ. Was it me you wanted as a partner"

The tears were streaming, I nodded again.

"Oh thank God!...TJ, ...it's okay...it's okay"

Dan held me close and stroked my neck and back.

"don't cry, we're okay...TJ..we're okay. Back when we were kids, I was in love with you too. It scared the dickens out of me. But just like you, I kept it all inside and soldiered on like it wasn't 't there, just like you did. The wife and kids, the divorce, all the same as you. And listen TJ, after the divorce, just like you, I knew I was gay too. I've only been with three men.

I want a life partner too. The slim chance that we would meet again tonight is why I'm here. I've searched for you for five years now. TJ...is there any chance at all that we can be together, maybe even as partners. You've always been the one I wanted to make love to. Can you and I make a new beginning together, I really do love you, always have.

There. I've said it now. That's why I got so drunk, hoping it was me, but not wanting to know if it was someone else. I knew I had to sober up and tell you the truth about me, about how much I love you and want us to be together."

I pulled back from his hug and looked into his eyes, not believing what I thought I heard. As I started to speak he said... "yes TJ, I said I was gay. Yes, I said I loved you, back then and right now; and yes, I asked if I could be your life partner, your lover and friend."

I sat there staring at him in disbelief until I finally let his words sink into understanding. I hugged him tighter to me and said...

"yes, yes! Can this really be happening, do you really mean it Danny? Hold me Dan, I may float away. I never ever believed this would ever happen. I've dreamed it a thousand times, and wished for it a million more."

Dan put a hand on the back of my neck and pulled me into our first kiss. When our tongues met I felt fireworks exploding in my brain, my body trembled, Dan leaned forward pushing me back onto the bed, never breaking contact with our lips and tongues. Our bodies were pressed together and I felt his hardness under the towel. I'm sure he felt the same in my slacks. When we broke the kiss, gasping for air, Dan held my face in his hands...

"TJ, my handsome TJ. You've just made me the happiest man alive."

One hand was loosening my belt and unbuttoning my slacks, he pulled me up by the back of my neck again and started another kiss as he tugged my pullover shirt from my slacks and off over my head. He stood and tugged my slacks and shorts off and I lay naked before him, my cock standing tall and proud at it's almost eight inch length. Dan was taking in my body with his eyes...

"Oh migod, TJ, you are perfect, that body, you're so beautiful."

As he stepped closer I tugged at his towel and watched as it slid to the floor. I sucked in air when I saw his hairy naked body, hard, muscled and trim. He had to be a gym rat too and that cock! He was longer and bigger in circumference than mine. My dream man, my Danny in the flesh, looking down at me with his cock hard as stone.

I took Dan's hand and pulled him to me. He lay with half his body atop mine and we kissed and rubbed our bodies against each other and we made out like we were horny teenagers. He was kissing me and gently tugging at my chest hair, his fingers found a nipple and pinched hard. That was all it took for me, I ejaculated semen all over both of us without either of us touching my cock.

"Ooooohhhhhh Danny. See what you do to me! Gee, I've never done that without touching myself or being touched before. My nipples must be hard wired directly to my cock. I never knew that."

There was very little sleeping that night for either of us. We had lots of short naps and more sex in one night than I have had in my lifetime. Every where we touched was a new place to kiss, horny teens would have had a hard time keeping up with us old guys this night. The morning sun peeped around the edges of the drapes and lit the room dimly. We rolled together face to face and kissed, our bodies touching from our lips to our toes. Every so often I had to pull back and just look at him to make sure it was Danny. My Danny here with me, naked and setting my body on fire with his touch and kisses.

We were both hungry, the last few hours sexual exploits had depleted our reserves. Dan grabbed my hand and pulled me to my feet and into the shower. Never missing a chance to put our naked bodies against each other, Danny hugged me to him as he stood behind me. He took the soap and began washing my front taking time to touch every inch of my body he could reach from his position behind me.

Finished with that side I turned to face him and hugged against him tightly as he gently washed my back side. Now that we faced each other, I was able to kiss his neck and ears while he washed me. When he was washing my hair I fondled his hard cock and testicles, I feared that this was another dream and that I would wake, alone and in a heavy sweat as I had so many times over the years. Finished and rinsed he kissed me lightly and said...

"Food! We have to eat TJ...come on babe...let's go eat."

Dan wanted to go to a great little Mom & Pop place that his Dad had frequented regularly. We were walking to the car when Dan shouted...

"OH Wow! TJ! Would you look at that Mustang! Man that's sharp. It looks so much better than the ones they make now, it even looks better that it did when it was new!"

He was gawking at a 1967 Mustang convertible. It had been restored and updated with a load of modern conveniences. It was Dark metallic gray with a tan top, custom Foose chrome wheels with Saddle Tan interior and a chrome mesh grille. I watched him as he gently let one hand glide along a fender.

"Your supposed to be a Corvette guy wont you get tortured by your co-workers or something for liking a Ford."

"This one is special, it's so beautiful." Dan replied.

"I smiled at him and tossed a set of keys to him. Your driving since you know where we are going. Dan, you do want to drive this car don't you?"

"What...you mean...TJ!...This is your car! WOW...but you said you drove an old ford."

"Well, it's sixteen years older than we are...That is old, Danny!"

He hit the remote unlock and opened the doors. When that 302 CI motor roared to life, Dan's eyes were big and he was grinning from ear to ear when he looked over to me...

"Let's drop the top TJ"

He unlatched the top and touched the button as I got the boot cover from the trunk. Soon we were cruising and causing quite a stir as gawkers honked and gave the car thumbs up. Dan got a kick out of charging away from the traffic lights and listening to the roar of the exhaust. The car has been updated with disc brakes, 3 point seat belts, power steering and new modern suspension components to allow for modern tires.

We pulled up in front of the restaurant and as we put up the top a crowd gathered at the window looking at the car. Once we were seated and had placed our order we were back to marveling at our luck of finding each other again. Dan was telling me how he was going to ravage my body when we got back to the hotel.

"I'm going to fuck that perfect ass of yours TJ"

as he said this a waitress with a coffee pot walked by us and ran into a table and nearly fell to the floor. She looked back at Dan, her eyes wide and mouth agape. He looked to her and said... "we're newly weds, I just can't help it. Look at him, he's a freaking stud of a man!"

I kicked his shin under the table as the waitress blushed to bright red and scurried off to the kitchen. As we were leaving I noticed that the waitress was whispering with another woman and they were looking at us. Dan saw them too, he smiled at them and said...

"you girls are checking out his butt aren't you!"

they turned and rushed off.

Once outside we were both laughing but I had to say something...

"You have always gotten me in to "situations," embarrassing me. You haven't changed a bit, bold as brass and willing to do just about anything. You are incorrigible Dan, just bad to the bone!"

"You always did love it when I acted up and I can tell by that grin you're wearing that you still like it TJ."

We were really back, we were Danny and TJ again. I noticed what I have come to call my 'Danny feeling', it's just this happy, good times, being with the greatest guy in the world feeling that I've only ever felt when I was with him. This felt so good. I haven't been this happy since my kids were born. Dan looked over and saw the look on my face...

"What's with the silly grin TJ?"

"You, that's what. Just being with you lifts me up, makes me happy and makes me do this silly grin."

"I know, I call it my TJ feeling." Dan replied.

I looked at him in disbelief...

"you have a TJ feeling? How weird. I call it my Danny feeling, always have. seems like we kept more secrets than we realized back then."

He started the car and I said...

"Damn...I don't want to go home today, I just want to stay here with you."

"I know TJ, I know...but it's only an hours drive. When we get back to the hotel, lets check out and you follow me to my place in Bowling Green. That way you'll know how to get to my place and we can make love again before we have to be part again. I have a feeling I'll be in Nashville in a day or two."

"you always have a plan, Danny. That sounds good."

We covered the ninety five miles in about 80 minutes and Dan had me pull my car into the garage beside his. He was standing waiting for me to get out of the car and when I did he hugged me into a soul searing kiss. I was still afraid of waking from a glorious dream. Fifteen years of wishing, hoping and dreaming of the time we could be together and it was now! There was just no describing how I felt.

Once inside, Dan gave me the tour, kitchen, family room then his bedroom. The tour ended there as he pulled me to him and gently started undressing me, I did the same to him and in a moment we stood facing each other naked. We both reached to hug the other to us at the same time, I was lost in the delicious feeling of his hairy body against mine.

We lay on the bed lips locked together, bodies writhing to get closer together. This euphoric high I was experiencing kept getting better and better. We each took turns exploring the others body with hands, lips and tongues.

Dan turned me face down on the bed and continued exploring with his hands and lips. He started at at my neck and shoulders, his furry body lying on my back made me wiggle beneath him trying to get more of him touching me. His hands and lips were every where as he slowly worked his way down my body. Raising up on his arms he bent his neck and traced his tongue down mine spine from my neck to the valley where my butt swelled in to round hard mounds. He lightly kissed and licked my cheeks as he continued on to the back of my legs. I felt his hair tickling my backside as he continued exploring my body with his lips and tongue, he didn't stop until his lips had kissed all ten of my toes.

My entire body tingled and throbbed. I had never been so aroused in my life. Danny slowly kissed his was back up my body. He stopped and buried his nose in my crotch inhaling the man scent there. He moved his face and nuzzled his nose into my testicles, his tongue lapping each one as my hard cock brushed against his cheek and face. He kissed his way up and back down the length of my hardness, his tongue flicking out to gather the pearl of pre-cum at my slit. Finally he lay face to face with me, staring into my eyes. All of his emotions showed there. I saw his love for me, his joy that we could be together like this. It all showed in those beautiful eyes.

At last I spoke...

"Danny I want you to make love to me, I want you inside me Dan. Please Dan...I'm ready...I've always wanted you to do this...get inside me, make love to me...I need to see your handsome face as you make love to me. I need to kiss you, hold you...I need you deep inside me. I want your seed in me Dan...oh Danny...do it...make me yours...do it now..you know you've wanted to."

Our orgasms were more than anything either of us had ever known. We were physically drained of every bit of energy, emotionally we were fulfilled as never before. We never knew that sex could feel like what we had just felt. That was so much more than sex...the emotional orgasm was what made the earth move for us. The love and emotions of fifteen unfulfilled years pushed us to feelings that words just could not convey. Looking into his eyes I knew he felt what I did. It showed there for both of us.

It was after Nine p.m. when I finally left Dan's to drive back to Nashville. I really didn't want to leave him but I knew we'd be together again in two days. I was so darned happy to have reunited with him I couldn't keep the smile off my face.

After taking the day off on Friday I had a lot of calls to return and by quitting time I had everything up to date. The phone was ringing as I unlocked the door at home. I rushed in and answered and it was Callum, my son calling to say Hi and ask if he could come over. I chuckled and said sure he could come over, knowing he either wanted a favor or money and most likely it would be both. I asked to speak with his Mom and he gave the phone to her.

"TJ how was your trip, was the reunion any fun?" Janey asked.

"Oh Janey, it was the best time, I'm so glad I went."

"I knew it!...you saw Danny didn't you! How did it go, where is he, who did he marry...?'

"WHOA!!! stop with all the questions...you ought to come over with Cal, by the way do you know what he wants?"

"yes I do, Suze and I will come with him. See you in a few?"

"Wait...what does he want..." she hung up laughing.

I wonder what this is all about I thought. I rushed to change clothes and was mixing a drink when Cal charged in the front door.

"Dad?"

"In the kitchen Cal"

My seventeen year old son was nearly a foot taller than me and had grown into a more good looking and handsome combination of his Mom and myself. With the three of us together it was obvious that he was our son. He was playing baseball and basketball in high school and was tall and lean muscled' He had started dating this year too. He rushed up to me and gave me a bear hug.

"Hiya Pops! Have fun on your trip" he asked as he stuck his head into the fridge looking for a snack.

"Yeah, I really had a good time. Probably nothing in there to eat, there's chips in the pantry,"

Cal turned and looked at me and a funny look came over his face.

"What's with the look, Cal?"

"It's you, Pops...somethings different about you..."

"I'm your same old Dad, Cal."

"I dunno' there just something different. You look great, I mean better that usual, maybe happier, I dunno what it is but I like it."

Just then his Mom and Sister came in, Suze jumping into my arms and Janey kissing my cheek.

"This must be something big for all of you to pile on here. What's up Cal?"

"Dad just don't say no until you hear me out, please. Okay"

I think that I figured out what this is about. Cal wants to use my car for something, I've always told him no when he wanted to use it and only let him drive it with me in the car. Aha!...His Prom is coming up! I'll bet that's what this is about. I looked over to his Mom and she was trying her best not to laugh out loud.

Beating him to the punch I asked.

"Son, I was thinking as I drove back from my trip. Isn't your Junior Prom coming up soon?"

I could see him deflate, all the nerve he had worked up to ask to use the car just went out of him as he said...

"yes sir."

"Well, I was thinking that maybe you might like to drive the Mustang that night. Do you think that you can be responsible enough to drive it within the limits I've all ways held you to when we were out together."

Cal was clearly stunned and very excited.

"Jeez, Dad, yes...how did you know that's what I was going to ask? I know Mom didn't rat on me. But thank you, I promise to take good care of the Stang, you know that I love that car just as much as you do Dad. Sean and I were planning to double, is that okay, it'll just be the four of us. I hope you and Mom know that neither Sean nor I drink or do any sort of drugs. I know you and Mom worry about that but really guys, we're smarter than that. Besides, we're tested for drugs in Baseball and Basketball at school. We're cool kids Dad, really. I promise we'll be home by two a.m. okay."

"Two A.M.! are you crazy! One a.m. at the very latest Cal. After you are 18 maybe you can stay out till 2 on prom night but not it my car."

I could see his Mom agreed with me.
