Thanks! Yeah, it's just weird to be sending these out into the ether and not know if people are enjoying them or not. I have two more chapters to go before this one is finished. I am glad you are here for the ride. It's been fun to write it and get feedback on it too.

Thanks! I am glad. With you being in Europe I feel so international!
I’ve never made a comment on a story before but I’m commenting on this one, to encourage you to keep going, @davekcmo! I’ve really enjoyed it and I’m sorry it’s coming to an end. I’m not sure whether Scott’s emotional reaction is sweet, because he’s got strong feelings that could lead to romance, or worrying, because he may be high maintenance…
Chapter 23
The next couple of days were quiet. I sent out a few resumes, and read a lot during the day. I got a call that Friday from another company down the street from me about a contract job for nine months and included health insurance. It would allow me to work through the end of the apartment lease and then I could shift gears- to what I didn’t know, but I was just happy to have a next step to take. I texted Del and Sheila that weekend that I had landed at least for a while and they were glad for me. We would occasionally text, but that fell off after a month or two. It was getting cooler as autumn arrived. I would hang out with Mara, and she met a new girlfriend Kara and I thought it was too much rhyming for me. She seemed calmer, and they got a place together on the other side of town. Nathan met a girl and he brought her home for Thanksgiving. Evidently it was fireworks the whole visit, his parents telling him he was disgracing his ancestors because she wasn’t Asian, and her not knowing exactly what was being said about her. In time I thought less and less about Scott, and really it was only a moment, and a crazy one at that.
Del called me in early January, and he and I hung out one Saturday a couple of weeks after. Sheila was away visiting her parents, and he was bored, and sort of horny. Nathan had gone to his girlfriend’s house to spend the weekend. Del came over in the afternoon and I ordered a pizza. We drank beer and watched old movies for a while. He got a sly look on his face and turned to me. He started to rub my shoulders, and I rolled over on the couch and let him give me a back massage. His hands were strong and felt amazing. It had been a while since anyone had touched me, and after a while I pulled off my shirt. He reached around and tweaked my nipples, and I giggled and jutted my ass up. He grinded his crotch into my ass, and continued to dig his palms into my muscles, running up the middle of my back to my shoulders and then back again, in rhythm with his thrusts against my ass. I was getting hard and I think he was too. He leaned down and put his arms around me, grinding his cock into my jeans with more force. His tongue found my ear, and I closed my eyes as the fireworks exploded in my mind. He licked my neck and blew on my earlobe, and then kissed me on the cheek. “Do you want to move to the bedroom,” he whispered into my ear, his beard tickling my cheek. I stretched and nodded.
And we got up and walked over to my room. I realized that nobody had seen my room and really there wasn’t much to see. A twin bed, and a nightstand. Some nudie magazines under the mattress, and a box of tissues at the ready. In some ways I hadn’t changed all that much since my teen years. I shut the door, and turned to him. I pulled his shirt up over his head, and threw it on the carpet. As I reached for his belt, he leaned in and kissed me on the mouth. His tongue found mine and we relaxed into a kiss that felt more comforting than passionate. Like we were home. I put my hand on the back of his head and just kissed him standing in the middle of my floor. He kept up the kissing and reached down for my waist. He undid my belt and my pants hit the floor. My cock was fully erect in my boxers, and his hand found my shaft and started jacking me slowly through the fabric. I was still midkiss with him as I put my hand on his belt loop and pulled, and then unbuttoned his jeans. I stuck my hand inside the warmth of his crotch and found his cock, hard like always, so thick and long, and his underwear warm and a little moist from pre-cum already. We stood there jacking each other for a while before he took his other hand and placed it on my back and leaning forward, aiming my butt for my bed.
Del climbed up on top of me and we resumed our kissing. My hands found his ass, and I hooked my thumbs on his underwear waistband and pulled them down a couple of inches. I then stuck my hands in and grabbed hold of both of his ass cheeks, so meaty and thick and muscular and hairy. I massaged him as we continued to kiss, and I began to pull him onto me in a rhythm like I wanted him to fuck me. He complied, moving his hands to my buttcheeks, and sliding my legs outward. He slid his fingers under my boxer seams and started digging his fingers into my butt muscles as he was thrusting on top of me. I was clawing at his ass myself and both pulling him in and letting him go back and forth. We had a nice pace going, slow and yet deliberate. My cock was getting harder and harder and I knew I was leaking pre-cum as the head was starting to strain with anticipation. Del broke away from my lips and leaned into my neck. “I want you to fuck me,” he whispered. I grabbed onto his ass harder and both pressed him into me and then pressed my body into his. I rolled him over on his side and knelt above him. I took off my boxers with one hand and with the other opened the nightstand drawer and found some KY and set it out on the table.
I returned to kissing him, now me on top of him. I spread his legs open and propped my elbows under his thighs. I continued to thrust on top of him aiming my cock closer and closer to his asshole. I stopped kissing him and moved down to his cock. I took my thumbs and placed them on either side of his ballsack and massaged the leg joints and his taint. I licked his balls, and then his shaft, and then opened my mouth and took his head inside my mouth. He was hard and slick with pre-cum, and started rubbing my tongue below the head, as I gently sucked on him. I moved up and down his shaft, taking more of his cock down my throat each time. All the while, I was massaging his taint, and working my way further inward. As I got close to his asshole, I licked a finger, and then placed it in the middle of the hole and I pressed it. His asshole was squeezing at my finger already from the sucking of his cock. The assmuscles grabbed my finger as I pressed in, his asshole opened and took my finger in a little at a time. I kept pressing and sucking his cock, and his hole kept taking more and more of my finger. After I got to the second knuckle, I started moving it back and forth. I took my other hand and placed my thumb at the base of his erection. I pressed in a little causing his cock to expand further with the blood I was holding in, then I sucked on him, the head now even bigger filling my mouth, and my tongue running along the bottom side of his shaft that was getting stiffer and stiffer.
I reached over to the nightstand, and got the tube open with one hand. I squeezed some on my fingers, and returned to his asshole. I pressed the one finger back in and continued to finger fuck him as I was sucking him. Then I pressed another finder next to it, and I felt his ass open even further to take it. I did a third just to finish stretching him out, and his asshole just took in and was gripping my fingers asking for more. I broke away from kissing him and removed my fingers all at one. I squeezed a little more lube in my hand to lube up my cock. I took aim at his hole with my head and pressed it on the hole. I then leaned down and kissed him again. As my tongue moved in, I felt his asshole open and my cock slid in about an inch. He flinched a little and I held myself in place. I kissed him some more and pressed and after a second his hole opened up and I got another inch or two in. I think I was at his second hole, and I felt like I had hit a wall. As I was kissing him I pulled back an inch or so and pushed in. Wall. I did the same, out and back in. Out and back in. The third time, I was out and as I slid in, I kept going. His ass had finally relented, and my cock was all the way in. I held it there and he was breathing like he was in labor. I felt his asshole convulse around my cock, as if itself was saying, it’s so big, I can’t believe it’s in me.
Then I rocked back and forth, gently at first, just pressing my cock and then taking my foot off the gas. Just pushing, then I pulled back a little more, finding a rhythm back and forth as he relaxed. My cock was so hard. I couldn’t believe I was in Del’s ass, and it felt amazing. THe hair on his ass tickled my thighs and I moved his legs further up my shoulders. As I leaned down to kiss him, my cock went in even further and I felt him grip on my cock. Then I pulled back and pushed in a little harder. I kept at this, kissing him, and sliding more in until I felt my pelvis hit his. Then I started to pound him. He moaned as I began to pick up speed. I was enjoying the feeling myself, it was like a warm washcloth on my cock and better than any blowjob I had ever had. I was starting to really fuck him hard, and he was making grunting sounds in the rhythm of my thrusting. As he got closer and closer to cumming he got louder. He was screaming oh god, oh god oh god, and my cock was so hard that I knew I was close too. He squeezed down on my cock and screamed, “aaaaaarrrghhhh,” as I felt a warm puddle on my stomach as he shot his load between us. I stopped my pounding and I felt his asshole quiver and grip my cock as he came spurt after spurt. He didn’t stop for like twenty times, although he had spent his load in the first five or six, but the earthquakes through his body continued for a couple of minutes. I pulled out of him and jacked off on top of him, shooting my load on top of his, and then collapsing on his chest out of breath and sweaty.
The next couple of days were quiet. I sent out a few resumes, and read a lot during the day. I got a call that Friday from another company down the street from me about a contract job for nine months and included health insurance.

Thanks so much! I will hold off on the final chapter, but I've added the penultimate for you all to enjoy.
New Zealand- it's truly a global experience. Thanks so much! As I said, this is my first attempt. I've learned a lot from writing this one. I'll have to start thinking about another one I guess!
Thanks so much! Yeah, my recollections from my twenties was that emotions were powerful and then quickly dissipated and I often felt that I was a ship cast against the rocks in my own life. And the reality is that when people start dating the change in expectations as you try to build a relationship can really change the attraction- suddenly calm and boring can be far better because they are more apt to compromise, but you need the spark to continue. It's a weird alchemy isn't it?
Thanks, you've been supportive from the start. It's meant a lot to me!
Chapter 24
Del and I stayed there for a while, me on top of him warm and sweaty, and then I felt some come dripping down and he started to squirm like he wanted up. I sat up and let him go, and he walked over to the door and opened it, heading for the bathroom. I got a tissue off of the nightstand and cleaned myself up, and then put the ky tube away. I stood up and joined him in the bathroom, and reached over him to get to the shower. I let him fix the temperature while I got a couple of towels from the hall closet. Then we got in and soaped each other and kissed the whole time. It was playful and fun. His cock was still engorged but softening, pointing down as opposed to up. I was still hard but I figured it would calm down a bit. We got out and dried off. We put on underwear and returned to the living room. There were a couple of slices of pizza left, so we each had one, and picked up the movie on TV. He sat across from me with his legs on top of mine, and I rubbed his hard hairy calves and occasionally grazed his cock. He would jump and then grin at me.
We finally spoke about a half an hour later. Del turned to me and said, “that’s a mighty fine pecker you have there Daniel-san.” I blushed and said, “well, that ass of yours about wrecked it.” He laughed and said, “I think you may have wrecked me, but I think it might have been worth it.” He chuckled. He turned to me and asked, “so, are you getting any regular tail these days?” I shook my head no and said, “not really. The new job is a drain and I’m not sure I’m over whatever happened at poker.” Del got quiet, and said, “yeah, about that. I am sorry.” He was looking at me and I think a tear was welling up. I leaned over and kissed him gently. “I’m not mad at you, and it was just weird. I accept your apology but really, we are ok.” He took a deep breath and said, “thanks. I needed that.” I smirked at him, “the forgiveness or the fucking?” He laughed heartily. “Both, asshole,” he quipped. I laughed, “always happy to serve.”
We finished our slice of pizza and relaxed back into the end of the movie. Del turned to me and said, “I need to tell you something.” I looked over at him with a quizzical look on my face. He is not usually this serious. “Go on,” I said. He took a deep breath and said, “we closed up the playhouse after poker night. I think Frank may be canceling his parties too. He had to get the hole in the wall fixed after Scott shoved Todd into it. Anywho, Sheila and I had a long talk after we dropped you off that day, and that talk kept going for several days. She told me that she was done with all of that sex parties nonsense, especially after talking to Scott. Yeah, she talked to him, and he didn’t know what to say to you. She told me you had asked her not to tell you if he didn’t want to see you again, and I think she erred on the side of not stirring the pot again. She then told me not to say anything to you, but I can tell even today that you still harbor some feelings for the guy. Scott liked you, but was so mad about how Todd treated him that he refused to reopen that wound at all, even if it meant cutting you out of his life too. Evidently Todd came down to Sheila’s office to try to make amends a couple of weeks later, and Scott threatened to call the MPs on him if he didn’t leave. Scott won’t even talk to Frank, and they used to be close buds. It’ll be a long while before Scott is over it.”
I nodded, more in appreciation for what Del was telling me than agreement. I figured there was more to the story, but rarely in life do you ever really find out what the other shoe is that dropped. “So, to make a long story even longer, I guess that things are just over in general,” he sighed. I nodded again, it was my signature move to nod I guess. “Is that all,” I asked. He shook his head no. “There’s more, but I’m not sure where to start. Let’s see, Sheila told me she wanted to start a family, that it was time. So, I put a baby in her and we’re expecting a little one this summer. It’s early days yet, so the only news is lots of morning sickness in my house. The playhouse room is becoming a nursery, and Sheila has started painting and knitting and shit like that. I patted his leg and said, “congrats man, you’re going to be a Dad soon.” He nodded and said, “yeah, that is fucking crazy. I can’t take care of my own shit, and now I’ll have someone else to handle. Geez.” In my mind I thought, no, Sheila will have someone else to handle in addition to Del. But, I didn’t say anything; he was clearly overwhelmed at the road ahead.
“Sheila and I would like you to be a part of our new life, but only if you want to. She asked me to talk to you about it while she was gone. The fuck was an added bonus for me,” he smirked, and I grinned back at him. “Sure,” I said, “I think the best part of that crazy job and the summer was meeting the two of you. I just didn’t know what to do once the job was over. It’s like everything got turned upside in a snowglobe and I had to wait for the snow to all settle.” He thought for a minute and then said, “there’s a postscript to Scott. He put in a request to move bases, and because computer skills are at a premium, he already shipped out. I’m really sorry bud.” Del leaned over and hugged me. I hugged him back. At the time, meeting Scott seemed so important, so monumental, and I reflected upon it over and over. The fact is that we met for only one afternoon really. I suppose you can have a romance in a day, but it was puppy love at best. The reality was I was moving on too. I had a new new life, yet again, and I was starting to make friends at the new job, even though it was short term too.
I turned to him and said, “so I guess I’m going to become an uncle?” He smiled and shook his head yes, “only if you want to be one.” I replied, “that would be great.” I was an only child, so this was my only chance at uncledom. The rest of the evening faded. Del left after a while, and we said we’d stay in touch. I didn’t know it at the time, but it would be the last time we saw each other for a long while. He got busy with getting ready for the baby, and Sheila was busy with the both of them. I didn’t really keep up with them as the end of my job came up and the lease too. I took a job closer to Minnesota, so I could see my family a little more often. Nathan moved in with the girlfriend, and I packed up my stuff and headed out. I did text Del and Sheila before I left, but they weren’t able to come to the going away bash that Mara and Kara threw for me.
I found a new apartment in another new city, this time without a roommate, and started to get settled. One day I was getting the mail from the mailbox and I had received a card with a forwarded sticker from my old address. The return address said, “The Nelsons,” and I thought, I don’t know anyone named Nelson. I opened the envelope and there was a card inside. It was a baby announcement from Del and Sheila. They had sent it to my old address and the mail finally caught up with me several months and several states over. I opened the card and there was a picture with Del’s eyes looking at me wrapped in a blue blanket. The announcement simply read, “we are pleased to introduce Delbert Brian Nelson, 7 pounds 10 ounces.”

I just didn’t know what to do once the job was over. It’s like everything got turned upside in a snowglobe and I had to wait for the snow to all settle.” He thought for a minute and then said, “there’s a postscript to Scott. He put in a request to move bases, and because computer skills are at a premium, he already shipped out. I’m really sorry bud.” Del leaned over and hugged me. I hugged him back. At the time, meeting Scott seemed so important, so monumental, and I reflected upon it over and over. The fact is that we met for only one afternoon really. I suppose you can have a romance in a day, but it was puppy love at best. The reality was I was moving on too. I had a new new life, yet again, and I was starting to make friends at the new job, even though it was short term too.
I turned to him and said, “so I guess I’m going to become an uncle?” He smiled and shook his head yes, “only if you want to be one.” I replied, “that would be great.” I was an only child, so this was my only chance at uncledom. The rest of the evening faded. Del left after a while, and we said we’d stay in touch. I didn’t know it at the time, but it would be the last time we saw each other for a long while. He got busy with getting ready for the baby, and Sheila was busy with the both of them. I didn’t really keep up with them as the end of my job came up and the lease too. I took a job closer to Minnesota, so I could see my family a little more often. Nathan moved in with the girlfriend, and I packed up my stuff and headed out. I did text Del and Sheila before I left, but they weren’t able to come to the going away bash that Mara and Kara threw for me.
I found a new apartment in another new city, this time without a roommate, and started to get settled. One day I was getting the mail from the mailbox and I had received a card with a forwarded sticker from my old address. The return address said, “The Nelsons,” and I thought, I don’t know anyone named Nelson. I opened the envelope and there was a card inside. It was a baby announcement from Del and Sheila. They had sent it to my old address and the mail finally caught up with me several months and several states over. I opened the card and there was a picture with Del’s eyes looking at me wrapped in a blue blanket. The announcement simply read, “we are pleased to introduce Delbert Brian Nelson, 7 pounds 10 ounces.”
The End
Well, there you go. I hope you all enjoyed it. I really enjoyed writing it. Thanks for indulging me.
Thanks! I did write another one- Big Cock - Big Law. See if that works for you? It's much longer. I dug deeper into the world and I am just now finished with it...
Yess that’s the first one I read. I like the balance of sex and slice of life. The description of the characters and settings are also really good. And I love the character arcs and can identify with the main character as I’m also in my 20s currently. Looking forward to the next one if there is one.
Thanks! I appreciate the kind words. I'm glad you enjoyed both. I'm trying to think of what I want to write next.
