Everything in a nutshell leading up to the trip
That Sunday Brian spoke with Deb about their trip to the Outer Banks. She was willing to hand over selection of the house after she heard he was willing to foot the bill for the house he selected. Brian spent time in the evenings looking on the internet at rentals, but eventually enlisted the help of a rental agency located in the area to help him narrow down his options.
He settled on a house in the area of Pine Island. It boasted so many amenities it was its own mini-hotel. It was a four level house. The ground level had a full kitchen, three bedrooms, a pool table, access to the beach, a private pool and 10 person hot tub. The second level contained five large bedrooms, and a theater room complete with seating, wet bar, and a wall mounted screen. The third level had another master bedroom, a large kitchen and dining area, living room area, and unobstructed views of the sound and the ocean. The fourth level boasted a widow’s walk and an exclusive glass enclosed master suite overlooking both the ocean and sound. The ocean side of the house had large decks, giving every bedroom direct access to the pool, hot tub, and the ocean. The house boasted private bathrooms with every bedroom, an elevator, putting green, wireless internet service, and access to laundry and grocery services. Brian chose to purchase the laundry and grocery service package. The group would have to do very little except relax while on vacation.
Brian sent out his own invitation packet to the family. He had reserved the house for two weeks in late August, and the invitation asked that people respond promptly to tell him when they would be coming. It also included detailed maps, driving directions, and a description of the house. There was information on popular tourist destinations in the area, dining opportunities that should not be missed, and local night life choices.
Within days of their mailing everyone contacted Brian. The two week reservation gave many family members the option to take a ‘long weekend’ at the beach rather than commit to a whole week. Brian confirmed that Gus would come, he would be with Brian and Justin for the summer doing an internship in Pittsburgh. Jenny Rebecca would not be able to come because she was doing a summer outreach program in Chile. Melanie was going with their group. That left Lindsey free to come to the Outer Banks for the entire two week period. Debbie and Carl chose to come the second week, as did Michael and Ben. Emmett and Drew, Hunter, Jennifer, and Molly were all coming for a long weekend in the middle of the two week period. Ted and Blake would be there for the first week. Everyone expressed concern over Brian’s offer to pay for the lavish house. He scoffed and said it wasn’t much, he needed something that big so they wouldn’t get on his nerves. He had to work on his tan in peace and quiet.
Over the next few months talk always touched on the ‘family trip’ as excitement for it grew. Justin and Brian went to Sedona to deliver Justin’s murals in person. The trip went well. Since they had been able to fuck on the Red Rocks on several occasions, Brian considered the trip a success. Because his aches and pains did not slow him down, Justin considered the trip a success as well. Brian ended up spending most of the month of June in Raleigh on business. Meanwhile, Justin was invited by a fellow artist to come to Monterey, California. There he observed a summer program and was wined and dined into agreeing to participate in the program next summer. Gus stayed at the loft and worked at the Grassi House with Debbie. Michael went to the annual comic convention in Orlando and made a huge killing on a first addition obscure comic he was selling. Ben took a quick trip to Hunter’s place, then came back to teach second term summer classes. Emmett stayed consistently busy all summer with a bustling wedding season. Drew was happy in his role as sports commentator in the evening time slot of the local ABC affiliate out of Pittsburgh. Lindsey had a tough time parting with Gus, and secretly counted down the days starting in early July to when she would join him. Jennifer stayed busy with many families moving in and out of the Pittsburgh area. And finally Ted and Blake stayed busy as well, Ted working at Kinnetik, Blake counseling.
Early in August Blake’s appendix ruptured and Ted had to take some time off of work to care for him. It was touch and go if they would be able to join the group on their trip. Blake’s doctor gave him the thumbs up to go just days before they were scheduled to leave. He was ordered to take it easy and continue to rest. Brian threatened to take away Ted’s scheduled leave, since he had taken off so much time to be with his partner at the hospital, but it was all a front. Ted did not even get worked up over it.
Snapshots of the trip
1. Packing and driving:
"Brian, take this suitcase with you, too." Justin handed a small bag off to Brian, who was already carrying two others.
"We’re only staying for two weeks, and we have laundry service, what the hell do we need to take all this shit for? You know the hottest gay men can travel with lube, condoms, and a change of clothing and have a wonderful time on vacation." He reluctantly took the bag and slung it over his shoulder.
"Ha, you’re funny, most of society would disagree with you. We are fashion mules, we always over pack, isn’t that how it’s supposed to work? And quit bitching, that one has the lube and toys in it, we can’t forget that one!" Justin smiled as he moved back into the closet looking for anything else he might have forgotten to pack.
Brian stopped and looked under his arm at the bag, "This is all toys and lube? This vacation is going to be okay after all."
Gus walked by with his bags, "Oh God, enough, enough, I really don’t need to hear all of this. If it’s not Mom and Mam, it’s you two." He opened the elevator and tossed his bags inside. Then he turned around and grabbed one from his Dad, helping him take the rest to the elevator.
Brian laughed and put his remaining bags inside. He motioned for Gus to wait and ran back into his bedroom to see if Justin had found anything else that had to go to the beach. There was nothing. Gus rode down alone and shuttled all the bags out to the jeep. Upstairs Brian took the opportunity for private time with Justin to do some damage control.
"It’s going to be okay you know? Last week was not a typical week for you. And Amy says you’ll do okay if you take your time. You know that right? You’re not in here getting yourself worked up are you?"
Justin walked out of the bathroom and smiled at his partner, "Yea, I know. I know. I can’t say that I totally agree with your sunny outlook, but I’m not freaking out about it either."
Brian and Justin met in the middle of the room and Brian casually put his arms around Justin and pulled him into a tight embrace.
"It’s not such a big deal, so you had a pain seizure last week. You haven’t had one is such a long time. We know they are always hanging around, but this one wasn’t the worst. And if you have one at the beach, big fucking deal, you have one at the beach." He was whispering in his ear as he stroked Justin’s long hair. "You need a haircut, this is way too hippie long for you."
Justin pulled back and looked Brian in the eye, "I like my long hair, but maybe I’ll have Deb cut it at the beach. She cut it for me when I lived with her. You know, before you insisted I go to a ‘professional’ to have it done. She didn’t do such a bad job. Or maybe I’ll shave it like I did that one time. If I remember correctly you told me that was hot." Justin smirked at Brian, almost daring him to take the bait.
"Fuck, that was hot, but you were a lot younger then, I don’t know if you could pull it off now." Brian didn’t fall for it so easily.
"Asshole, I can feel your dick twitching right now, just thinking about that cropped hair for you to run your fingers over, to feel pricking your thighs as I suck you, to see in the ocean when I go swimming. Don’t play all cool with me, I’m on to you, remember?" Justin dropped his cane and ground himself into Brian.
Brian’s mouth covered Justin’s with a hard kiss, cutting off any further discussion.
"Yea, cutting the hair would be fine with me. But we’ve gotta stop this shit. We have a seven hour drive in front of us with Gus. I see only one option. Leave the kid to pack the car, and give me time to fuck you senseless before we go. That way we are both relaxed and ready for this adventure."
Justin’s only response was his hand slipping into Brian’s pants, finding his painfully erect cock and prodding it with his fingers.
Brian laughed a lust filled laugh, "Yea, sounds good to you too, huh? Okay, okay, give me a minute to occupy the kid." He pulled Justin’s hand from his pants and left the room.
When he returned a few minutes later, he found Justin naked on the bed, his perfect ass waving at him from the door. His head resting on the pillow looking behind him at Brian, smiling a devilish smile. "Gus was okay with packing the car?"
Brian began to remove his pants, "Yea, he called the two of us transparent, and swore to himself he would find a nice looking girl lifeguard at the beach to spend some time with." Brian chuckled, "He’s eager to get on the road, I figure we have about twenty minutes max. before he comes banging on the door and yelling for us to ‘knock it off’" Brian was on top of Justin.
"Works for me." Justin said. Then he wiggled his ass a little more, and Brian pushed into the cleft of it. Justin sighed as he handed Brian the lube, "I didn’t pack all of it."
Brian quickly lubed himself and Justin, then ground into him. He took Justin’s breath away. "I’m gonna do this to you every single day while we’re on this freakish family outing."
Justin grunted out between thrusts, "And I’m going to do it to you, too. On the beach, at night when there’s no one around, and if we get caught, the world may finally find out that you make a perfectly happy bottom for the right man. Ah, ah, ah." Brian stopped Justin with his orgasm, sending Justin over the edge.
When they were calm, Brian kissed the top of Justin’s ear, "I’m counting on that, we’ve never fucked on the beach before. And that’s one of the primary reasons I agreed to this trip in the first place. But for now, we’ve gotta get going." With another kiss, Brian was up off the bed, moving into the bathroom to get cleaned up. Justin followed him.
Five hours into the trip, Gus watched as his father and partner oozed sensuality from the front seat. He turned off his personal DVD player, "For the love of God, pull over and let me drive. The two of you are going to wreck the car before we get there if you keep fondling each other like you are. You do realize I’m back here, and I can see you, right?"
The two of them laughed. It seemed as if this vacation might not be as bad as they envisioned it could be. It was starting off quite well.
