Game of Love Ch. 16

He began walking inside with a smile on his face.

The steps we had to take in life became very challenging. But with each step, and every problem we tried to overcome them. They say family is not about blood, but who is willing to hold your hands when you need it the most. Two mothers had given life to us and though we may not share blood, we have plenty of love and affection because they both did what they could for the both of us.

And though I have been in pain most of my life, I am also grateful to the two fathers that I got in my life. First to my father, though I never got the chance to say it to him, he did give me life. And it's because of him that I was born. And secondly to my new father became my new pillar of strength, who has shown me that blood does not matter, but the love and peace that you have when you're with each other.

"Babe!"

Eric glanced towards the direction of the voice and saw his husband rushing to him with a brilliant smile on his face, his gorgeous hair gelled to perfection. He looked so sexy in a pitch-black designer's suit with a white shirt inside and black shoes on his feet. His emotions came flowing and before he even had any reaction, his head was clasped and then brought closer.

Maybe time stopped when his lips met Eric's, but the flutter only intensified. Eric's heart pounded in his chest as his knees got weaker. He could only focus on how soft he felt against his mouth, how addictively he invaded all his senses.

A voice was heard but that didn't stop them. His thumb was throbbing at the hollow of Eric's neck, rubbing up and down, pulsing warmth as his tongue conquered the depths of his mouth, hungry, consuming, pulling Eric into the warmth of him as if he mastered the balance of gravity.

"Someone wants us to stop!" He moaned, biting on his husband's lips.

Sergio's half-closed eyes were now wide open. "But I don't wanna stop."

Eric laughed, licking on his husband's lips sensually. Sergio couldn't suppress his moan. Fuck, he was horny.

"It's no longer about just you and me, Mr. Sergio Alvarado."

He shook his head and leaned down, kissing the head of his son. God, it felt so good and he smelt amazing. The baby noticed him and Eric watched as a little smile appeared on his cute face. Weakness swept over him and tears began forming in his eyes.

They had decided to have a baby as soon as they had healed and everything had gone back to normal. They remember finding themselves in the hospital closer to each other and saying, 'let's have a baby.' They had found a surrogate mother and now we're happy fathers. The baby was only 8 months old but was the cutest thing ever.

Eric remembered the first time he had seen his son. He stood there in amazement. A tingle surged throughout his whole body. It was a rush of excitement he had never felt before in his life. When his eyes had hit his angelic little body, they froze and he couldn't think or acknowledge anything else around him. The world seemed to stop, hold its place in time, just for that perfect moment.

"Hey, you're crying again." Sergio laughed, rubbing his tears. "This bundle of joy is ours. He ain't going nowhere." He pulled on Eric's waist, bringing his lips closer again. "And now you're not going anywhere, my dear husband. I have you all to myself."

His fingers traced slowly down Eric's spine, his breath coming more quickly against his skin. Eric's hands were limp on his chest, and he felt lightheaded again. He tilted his head slowly and touched his cool lips to Eric's for the second time, very carefully, parting them slightly.

"Hello!"

Both of them quickly pulled away from each other and stood still, staring at Laurel who was looking so beautiful in a red gown with red heels on her feet. Her hair was perfect and her makeup was on point. She looked so serious.

"What did I say, Mr. Alvarado?" She said sternly. "Go and check if Eric is back. I didn't say go and kiss him."

"Well... mother, I...."

She laughed when she saw how shy he was. "Come on, Sergio. You know I am only joking with you."

They all laughed. She was holding a beautiful baby girl with her, Eric, and Sergio's second child. They had twins, Ivy and Javier. Eric rushed to his mother, kissed her, and got the child from her. He held her tightly and she smiled. Parenthood wasn't something that he had dreamt could be so amazing but it was.

"come on," She gestured. "Everyone's waiting."

Eric and Sergio followed her. They came to a beautifully decorated room where everyone else was, dressed beautifully. Adrianna was very happy with her new fiancé, Steve, the man that had shown her so much love. Derrick was now in a relationship with the man he had met online but had been chatting with him for years without meeting. They had finally met and turns out he was a very good friend of Eric from years back. Laurel and Darren were happy parents to two grown-up boys and a beautiful baby girl.

"Hey, finally!" Everyone greeted.

They all took their positions and the photographer began taking pictures of them, a happy family. Sergio held his son while Eric held their daughter. Although it was a picture and they were supposed to smile and look at the camera, Sergio couldn't help but admire his husband. God, he was a perfect man. He made him so happy.

Just a few years ago, both of us were just messy teens who did nothing but play. But now, we're new fathers who are starting our new lives. These are new journeys for us as new fathers and husbands. Sergio and I have reached our dreams. We're very happy.

Finally, after a while, the photographer was done. Eric gave his daughter to Adrianna and they all kissed her beautiful cheeks while she smiled. Sergio watched his groom, feeling the need to kiss, to make love to him. A few hours had felt like days to him and he couldn't hold it anymore.

"Can you hold him for a second?" Sergio said as he handed his son to Derrick and started heading for Eric.

Eric saw his husband coming and he laughed and started running outside. Sergio took off his jacket, threw it on the floor, and began running after him while everyone laughed in excitement.

"Go get him, man!" Steve cheered and made everyone laugh more.

Eric ran as fast as he could but Sergio was faster. He reached him, wrapped his arms around him, and gave him a beautiful kiss. He lifted him bridal style and then did something crazy. He jumped into the pool and the both of them were now wet.

"What are you doing?" Eric laughed.

Sergio pulled on Eric's waist, bringing his body closer. "I need to spice up this moment. Ever thought of doing it in the pool?"

"You're crazy." Eric laughed as his arms coiled around his husband. "But a good kind of crazy. And I love you so much."

His mouth was once again on Eric's, and he stopped breathing. Sergio shuddered and there was a sound from the back of his throat, half growl, half moan. Little shivers of pleasure and panic shot through Eric as Sergio deepened the kiss, parting his lips. I stopped thinking and he closed the tiny space between them, pressing against him, digging his fingers into his husband's hair. It was soft, silky. Nothing else about him felt that way. He sparked alive, his heart swelled to the point of near bursting. The rush of sensations crawling across his body was maddening. Scary. Thrilling.

His hands were on Eric's waist, pulling him closer like he wanted them to be one. It was a wonderful moment to behold forever. None wanted to let go.

From the moment we were born, everything has already been destined for us, our names, our status in life, and even our future. But sometimes, fate plays tricks on us. It will challenge what we believed is our destiny. And most of the time, love is its weapon and in all these trials, nothing is ever easy. Someone always gets hurt, and sometimes, someone dies.

But there's only one thing I am certain of, nothing is sweeter than a fate that you have won and fought for.

My name is Eric and this is my story. For now, it's goodbye but we'll meet again in another place and another time. Until then, I love you all...

The end...
