Ch. 17 ~ Pt.2"Yeah! That was so cool." Brian told Eddie laughing. "You should have been there. Man you really ought to come hang out with us more often. You are a really cool guy."
"Listen guys," AJ said standing up. "I think I'm gonna head on to bed too." Brian looked up in surprise.
"AJ? What's wrong man?"
"Nothing." AJ lied. "Just tired." Brian studied him silently. He could tell something was bothering AJ but he had no clue what. "Night guys." The other man said and headed for his room.
Brian sat in silence for a minute, staring at the door that AJ had just slammed shut in his rush to get away. He stood and quietly said, "I think maybe I better go find out what's wrong. I'll see you guys tomorrow."
He left the room and headed straight for his friend's. At his knock, the door was thrown open by AJ with a drink already in his hand. "What the fuck do you want?" AJ asked angrily. "Don't you have to go call your precious Leighanne before you go to sleep?"
"AJ," Brian said softly, looking at his friend worriedly. "What's wrong? Did I do something?"
"No Brother Brian," AJ sneered. "You never do anything wrong." He tried to slam the door but Brian blocked it with his hand.
"Alex," Brian whispered. "Talk to me." He reached over and slowly pulled off AJ's sunglasses. He slipped them onto AJ's shirt collar before his hand moved back up to caress AJ's face while he stared into his friend's eyes. "Please, talk to me."
AJ sighed and turned away from the door, letting Brian follow him in. "There's nothing to talk about. I'm just lonely tonight. That's all."
"Well, why didn't you say something? I'll stay with you tonight, I mean, damn, you've done it enough for me...."
"It won't help, Bri." AJ answered softly staring out the window.
"Why not man, it always helps me when you hold me..."
"You gonna let me fuck you too Brother Bri?" AJ asked sarcastically.
"That's what I need tonight. Someone to fuck." He turned to face his friend expecting to find Brian white faced and running for the door. Instead Brian stood calmly. His expression showed surprise but that was the extent of his reaction. AJ took a step closer.
"Do you understand what the fuck I am saying to you?" AJ asked his voice raising slightly with every word. "You gonna let me fuck you, Bri? You gonna bend over and take it while I fuck your ass, or maybe your mouth? Yeah you'd look real good on you fucking knees with my god damn cock in your mouth!"
"Alex." Brian admonished softly. "Don't take the lord's name in vain." AJ stared at him in shock.
"Didn't you hear the rest of what I said?"
"Yes. Is that what you really need tonight? You need someone to 'be' with."
"Yes." AJ whispered.
"If you really need release and you really want me to be the one to give it... I would." Brian watched the other man's reactions. "If that was something I could do to truly make you happy, I would. But there is a catch. There is something you have to do for me."
"What?" AJ asked quietly, not allowing himself to hope yet.
"You have to put down the alcohol, Alex. You have to give up the drinking."
"Give up drinking for one night with you? Not worth it."
"For any night with me. Except when Leigh is here. I draw the line there. Any night she isn't in the same city, I'm all yours. you just have to give up the drinking."
"You'll have sex with me, whenever I need it as often as I need it as long as I give up drinking?" AJ asked incredulously. Brian nodded. "What if it's every night?"
"Then I guess I'll be really sore every day." Brian said with a laugh.
"Are you sure about this?" AJ asked one last time. Brian stepped up to him and gently removed the glass of liquor from AJ's hand and set it down on the table. Then cupping AJ's cheek he nodded.
"Yes. I'm sure." Brian said before he moved in and captured AJ's lips. AJ froze until he felt Brian's tongue probing for entrance to his mouth and then his arms automatically went around Brian and he moaned into the kiss. If quitting drinking was what it took to make a fantasy of making love to Brian come true, then he was off the booze for good.
