Diffrent Path

Chapter 9…


1st July…..

It was a week and a half after graduation when they boarded the plane. The last few days had been a whirlwind of preparations. Tickets, visas, passports and travellers checks, everything had been prepared.

The dinner at Jennifer’s had been strained to say the least but Brian had been his usually charming self and the night had ended on a good note. At least Brian still had his balls.

Brian had not told anyone in the gang except Lindsay that he was taking Justin on this trip, mostly because she had helped him research it. He had not wanted people to be their usual nosey selves. She had been sworn to secrecy until the morning after they had left.

Brian had planned the trip very carefully, balancing it so that they both would enjoy it. He would be doing a bit of business during the trip but that was not a problem. Now the bags had been checked in and they were boarding.

Brian smiled at Justin as the younger man pouted. He had tried for days to get the destination of their trip out of the stubborn Irishman but Brian had insisted that it was a surprise. As they took a seat in first class, Justin was practically bouncing in his seat.

“Come on Bri, you said that when we got on the plane, you’d tell me!” Justin smiled at Brian, pleading with his eyes. The older man smiled and handed over a folder. He did not say a word, just watched with a small smile as Justin opened it and read the itinerary. The blue eyes he loved so much grew impossibly wide.

“You are taking me to Rome, Florence, Venice and New York before we go home!! And you have me enrolled in art courses in almost every city!! Brian, oh my gawd this…this is too much! “He threw his arms around the smiling man beside him, “Oh I love you, I love it,” He kissed Brian deeply. “Thank you...”

“You deserve it, Sunshine... “Brian whispered. They settled in for the flight. Justin leaned on Brian and the brunet held tightly to the blond in his arms. He was happy that his surprise had been a success.

They quickly fell asleep, the night before had not really been conducive to sleeping.

The flight passed a lot more quickly than Justin had expected. He and Brian slept, ate, and talked; they even made an attempt to look at the in-flight movie. The bathroom had not even escaped them and Justin was now a mile-high member. The flirty Stewardess had dropped of a pair of wings for Justin, with a wink and thumbs up.

Rome - 1 July

The great thing about being in first class is that you get to leave the aircraft before every other passenger. Brian and Justin were among the first to exit the plane and pass thru Customs.

They quickly found the bags and the car that were waiting to drive them to their destination, ‘Di Amore’ a fabulous four-star hotel that few knew of but many loved. It was popular among the gay community for one reason, it was extremely gay-friendly. No bigotry was accepted.

As they entered the lobby a beautiful woman came to meet them. Her voice was melodious with a crisp, British accent.

“Ah, Mister Kinney and Taylor. I am Olivia Jones. It’s a pleasure to welcome you to ‘Di Amore.’ I hope your rooms will be to your taste and that you will enjoy your stay in Rome.” She took both their hands and led them to the front desk, answering the few questions Justin had about the artwork on the walls. They talked about their stay in general and traveling in particular.

“A car will be waiting in the morning to be at your disposal for your stay, complimentary to the suite. Leila will see to your needs, enjoy your stay.” She walked away briskly, smiling at their absentminded good byes.

Soon they were checked in and taken to their rooms. The room in itself was amazing. It was not even the top suite but it was European elegance all the way.

“This place is amazing, Brian. “ Justin said as he opened the balcony doors in the bedroom. He walked out on the balcony leaning on the railing.

The blond smiled as the arms of his lover found their way around him. They stood silent for a short while enjoying the view over Rome.

“The trip is only starting Sunshine… “

The next few days were spent taking it easy, getting over the jetlag. They did a bit of shopping, a bit of sightseeing and some clubbing. They ate well and fucked even better but mostly the time was spent on the balcony. They were just enjoying the warm Italian sun and the company of each other.

5th July 07.30

“Wakey wakey, Sunshine. You would not want to be late for class would you?” Brian drawled in Justin’s ear. He smiled as the blond opened his eyes and looked at him, stretching out his body. Brian could feel his body responding as he watched Justin rising absolutely gracelessly from the bed.

“Want company in the shower, Sunshine?” Brian asked with a laugh. He laughed out loud as he got a sleepy groan from the blond disappearing inside the bathroom.

Still chuckling he headed into the bathroom, passed Justin who was brushing his teeth and turned on the shower. Not as hot as he would have liked but hot enough that he would enjoy it and Justin’s skin would not protest.

“Come on, Sunshine. Get in the shower,” Brian said as Justin put down his toothbrush. He continued, “I’ll scrub your back.”

He met his much more alert blue eyes with a teasing smile.

“Mmmm sounds good, Bri,” Justin moved into the shower winding his arms around Brian’s neck, reaching up meeting Brian’s lips in a slow and sensual kiss.

“So what are you doing today? “ Justin asked as they broke the kiss.

“I have a breakfast meeting at 9 and then a lunch at 11 where you are welcome to join me and then I have the afternoon free. Tomorrow looks a bit more hectic.” Brian said as he grabbed the shampoo and washed Justin’s hair with gentle care. Justin grabbed Brian’s body wash and a washrag and started washing the older man - his movements nonsexual but intimate. The blond smiled as he felt Brian gently massage his neck as he walked Justin backward under the spray to rinse his hair.

“MMmmm, that feels nice.” Justin kissed Brian’s chest lightly in thanks as he moved away. “But we really don’t have time to do anything, not if I want to get to the piazza in time. “


They moved away from each other finishing the shower fast and efficiently. The two talked about their day in more detail.

Brian told Justin about the people he was meeting and the hope he had for this trip. That it was not only going to be a business trip for Ryder but also opening some contacts for him when he finally decided to open an agency of his own. His network was already quite extensive.


Justin and Brian quickly got dressed and headed downstairs. They got into the car that waited for them, driving Justin to his first class then Brian to his first meeting. The day passed slowly but they both learned a lot during the day.

Justin was elated as he sat thru the classes. The talent of the teachers and the other students was amazing. The first few hours were spent just sketching, letting the teacher see the skill level of his newest group. He had quickly found that Justin was one of his more talented students.

The most wonderful thing was that he felt that he truly learned something. The glow from his face when he told Brian about his day that night, made the older man realise just how right he had been about this trip. This was just what the younger man needed.

Brian smiled to himself as he watched Justin talk during their dinner on the balcony that night. His hands flew as his story became even more animated. His blue eyes sparkled with joy. The blond hardly took the time to eat the meal before him.

“Calm down Justin and eat your food. It’s getting cold.” Brian said, his voice gently breaking thru Justin’s ramble.

“Yeah...guess I am a bit excited. “Brian almost wanted to grab for his sunglasses to shield himself from the dazzling shine of Justin’s smile.

“Then my job is done, Sunshine!” Brian smirked.

The night was spent in a club dancing the night away. The club had no backroom but the music was loud and the men hot but that worked out wonderfully. They returned in the early hours of the morning, frantically kissing and groping each other. They had been lucky that there was another person in the elevator otherwise they would have been fucking in it.

They quickly shed their clothes leaving a tail from the door of their hotel suite to the bedroom. Brian halted Justin as the boy was about to lie down on the bed. Looking into his eyes, the dark-haired man smiled slowly and caressed his young lover’s cheek.

“Do you trust me?” his voice was husky as it caressed Justins’ ear. Justin felt his knees go weak and his breath sped up.

“Yes...” Justin leaned his head into Brian’s hands. “I trust you with my body… and my heart.”

Justin found himself gently pushed back towards the bed. Lying down on the sinfully, soft cotton sheet, Justin smiled wickedly at Brian. The older man followed Justin onto the bed. His hazel eyes were dark with the heat of desire, desire for this blond minx in his bed. Kissing and nipping his way up the ivory skin under him, he moved quickly to the bruised lips, whose taste he had become so addicted to.

“I want to try something, sunshine. Close those eyes…” Brian watched as Justin’s eyes closed. A wicked smile curled his lips. The older man reached for his silk tie and grabbed his young lover’s hands. Carefully he tied his young lover’s hands to the headboard, causing the blond to moan.

“Like that do you? Being in my power. Submitting to me… “He leaned down and whispered hotly in Justin’s ear. “ I can do anything I want with you! I could fuck you for hours.”

He placed a kiss on Justin’s lips, slowly deepening it until they both moaning into it. They were humping against each other trying to find some friction for their needy cocks.

“Please Brian... Don’t tease.” Justin whimpered as he ripped his mouth away from Brian. They were both in desperate need of breathing.

“Don’t tease, Sunshine?” Brian chuckled deeply in Justin’s ear as he rose from the body under him to reach for a silk scarf. Tying it over Justin’s eyes he felt the blonds cock twitch.

“Would I do something like that?”

“In a heartbeat, asshole!” Justin laughed as Brian tickled him for that comment. Brian smiled widely and caressed his lover gently. The feeling of Brian’s hands over his skin made Justin moan quietly.

“What do you want me to do Sunshine? Tell me … use that wonderfully dirty mind of yours.” His hand closed around Justin’s dick jerking it ever so slowly, making the younger man keen and writhe under him.

“Fuck me Bri... Take that nice, fat cock of yours and fuck me… make me scream babe… please… ohh please.” Justin said, his voice husky with want. Brian felt a shudder go through him at Justin’s pleading and he felt himself lose control. He leaned down and whispered hotly in the writhing blonds’ ear.

“You want me to fuck you? Do you want it nice and slow or hard and fast?” Brian continued to tease the blond, the young man feeling exposed and vulnerable and the feeling just made him soar even higher. He wanted Brian to use him, to use his body like the older man wanted.

“Please Brian … oh please… stop teasing… please” The blond was now a blubbering mass of sweating flesh. The brunet has a feral grin on his face as he prepared the blond just enough so that he wouldn’t harm him. So that it would only be pleasure, but still sting. Rolling on the condom he panted harshly.

“I’m going to fuck you now, Sunshine. Use your ass for my pleasure… you want that?” He pushed the blonds’ legs up towards his head exposing that wonderful entrance. Lining himself up Brian asked the blond under him again.

“Want me to fuck you?” He waited until Justin opened his mouth to speak before thrusting inside his blond in one fluid motion, only stopping when balls-deep inside the blond. His action caused the words that Justin tried to say to become a wail of triumph.

“YES!!”
