Tangled - Part Fifteen

*** Part 36 : Pain

Lee and I had been making regular trips out to the plot to check on the progress that was being made on our house.

One afternoon, he called me and told me to leave The Gallery early as he wanted to go out to the plot to show me something. I told Jane to lock up and waited on the sidewalk for him. Presently, he drove up, picked me up and soon we were driving down the coast.
Lee leaped out the car as soon as we arrived and dragged me into the grove of maples. There, in a clearing in the middle of the grove, stood the most beautiful white gazebo I'd ever seen.

It had a pergola style roof and amazing fret-work edged the roof overhang. The sides were open apart from a waist high railing that went all the way around, with a gap just above the three steps that led up to the elevated floor.
He took my hand and led me up into the gazebo.

"Look!" He said and pointed through a gap in the trees. I looked through the trees at a lovely view of the beach and the ocean. He stood behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist. He rested his chin on my shoulder and sighed. I reached up and stroked his hair as I turned my head and kissed him on the cheek.

"It's wonderful!" I said softly.
"Hmm." He murmured. "It is, isn't it."
We stood close together for a while and admired the view. Then he ground his hips into my butt slowly.

"I'm feeling a little anxious, if you know what I mean!" He whispered in my ear.

He lifted his hands from my waist and undid my shirt buttons. He slid his hands up and down my body. I could feel his hard shaft suddenly push into the top of my butt. My own cock hardened quickly. He dropped his hands to my flies and quickly undid them. He pushed my pants and shorts down my thighs and my steely rod sprang free.

He ran one hand up my shaft while he caressed my balls with the other. I turned in the circle of his arms and quickly undid his pants. I pushed them down his legs and his cock jumped out and slapped against my belly.
"Quickly!" He whispered. "Get undressed. I want you now!"

We both shed our clothes rapidly and he pulled me to him. He ground his hot pelvis against mine and I could already feel the wetness of our pre-come mixing against my belly. He put my arms up around his neck and then lifted me up and whispered. "Put your legs around my waist!"

He held my weight easily as I did as he asked. I hooked my ankles in the small of his back. He quickly moistened my hole with some of his pre-come and saliva and then knelt down on the floor. Then he supported my thighs and let my body slide down his slowly as he guided his cock into me. I felt his shaft go deep into me easily. I clung to him as he started to move in and out of me slowly. I thrust my hips to match his movements.

He found my lips and kissed me, his tongue explored the inside of my mouth slowly. His thrusts became long and hard and fast. With our movements, my cock was being stimulated, trapped between our bellies as his rod massaged my prostate deep inside me and it wasn't long before I felt my climax building in my groin. He gasped and moaned as he kissed me and then he broke the kiss as his thrusts became more frantic.

“Bite me!” He groaned huskily and then he threw his head back and his hips jerked uncontrollably as he came. I bit into his shoulder as I felt the hot streams of his semen deep inside me and the thrill and heat of it pushed me over the edge. He cried out in pleasure as I shot stream after stream of come up between our bellies and my back arched tightly against him. He held me close as our climaxes diminished. He moaned softly against my shoulder. I sighed, released his shoulder and kissed his neck.

Later, after we had dressed, he showed me how the building on the house had progressed. The sun was setting by now, so we made our way back to the car.
We got in and Lee turned to me.
"I am going to take you out to a slap-up dinner and then I am going to take you home and fuck you again until you scream! How's that sound?" He said with a grin.
"What the hell are you waiting for, then?" I said. "Get this thing moving!"

Lee drove up the narrow dirt track to the main road, stopped for a couple of cars and then pulled off.
The next few seconds was a tearing, screaming racket of screeching metal and smashing glass. I looked at Lee as the car went bouncing across the road. His eyes were wide with shock, his face deathly pale. The car hit the barrier at the edge of the road, flipped over it and went tumbling down the gully. Then it was suddenly quiet.

The car had landed on its roof and we were upside down inside, my neck twisted at an awkward angle. I gritted my teeth against the pain that was flooding my body and turned to look at Lee. I screamed when I saw that his face was gone, replaced by a sheet of blood. He lay deathly still. I tried to reach him but as I moved, a blade of white hot agony shot through my back and then everything went black.

Voices, voices in my head. I tried to block my ears but I couldn't move. I opened my eyes to a blinding white glare and quickly shut them again. My entire body was a seething pit of pain.
"Help him . . Lee's hurt . . his face . . !" I moaned.
A hand rested on my forehead for a second and someone said.
"Rest now. You must rest!"
Everything went black again.

I dreamed. Faces, bodies, blood and pain came and went in my dreams, but most of the time there was just darkness.
A hundred years went by and then one day, the dreams stopped and the pain was gone. I opened my eyes slowly.

I was lying in a firm, high bed. The room was pleasantly dim. I moved my head slightly to get my bearings. The stark fixtures in the room, and the vases of flowers on the trolley at the end of the bed told me that I was in a hospital ward. I tried to sit up but I couldn't. My head ached a little and I put my hand to my forehead and noticed that my hair had been cut very short. I also had a healing cut down my cheek, from my cheek bone to the corner of my mouth. Bits and pieces of the accident came flooding back. I cried out to get someone's attention, but my voice wouldn't work. I found the buzzer and pressed it, panic starting to set in. Within seconds, a nurse came hurrying in.

"Oh, so we're awake, are we?" She said brightly. "Good, it's about time."
"Where's Lee?" I managed to croak. "Please, I want to see him."
"In a minute, we have a couple of things to attend to first." She said brightly.

She raised the bed so that I was in a sitting position.
"Now," She said, business like. "I'm going to check you over and then you can see your visitors. They've been waiting for quite a while."
She took my temperature, blood pressure, and checked my eyes.

"Good, good." She muttered to herself after she had finished. She went to the door and called out,
"You can see him now."
I sat up a little more in anticipation, I was dying to see Lee. His figure appeared briefly in silhouette in the doorway and I caught a flash of green from his eyes.
"Lee!" I started excitedly then stopped.

As he moved into the light around my bed, I saw that it was Jack. His face was haggard and unshaven. He pulled a chair up to the bed and sat down tiredly. He took my hand. I looked at him puzzled.
"Where is he?" I asked.
Jack smiled slightly, and ignored my question.

"Glad to see you're awake, dude. You’ve been out for four weeks; sedated because of you back injury. Danny's outside. He'll come and see you in a minute. They'll only let us in one at a time." He said hurriedly.
"Where is he, Jack? Where is Lee?" I asked again confused, for I knew that he should have been the first one to come in to see me.

I looked at Jack, my grip on his hand tightened and he winced. He said nothing.

"Jack, where is he?" I croaked.

He looked at me silently with eyes so like Lee's.
Then I remembered and my breath caught in my throat.

"Oh God Jack, he was hurt so bad . . his face . . he had no face!" I gasped, my breath coming in great gulps. "Where is he? How is he?" I croaked.
He sighed and dropped his head.

“Let’s . . um . . let’s not talk about that right now, okay?” He said slowly. “You need your rest and Danny’s waiting to see you.”
I stared at him, not understanding his reluctance to tell me where Lee was. Then I suddenly knew why and my entire body went cold. My head spun crazily and I gasped out loud. Jack looked up at me quickly.

“David.” He began. “You have to understand that . . !”
“Don’t.” I cried loudly. “Just . . don’t, okay?”

My chest started to heave uncontrollably as I struggled to breathe. My hands went icy cold and my mind went totally numb. Finally, I drew a long shuddering breath, threw my head back and howled. Jack held onto me, his hands gripping my shoulders painfully.
“David . . please . . don’t!” He tried to calm me but I never heard him.

Both my mind and body were trying to cope with the flood of overwhelming pain that consumed them.
The door flew open and Danny came quickly to my bedside.

“What the hell?” He asked, his voice shaking with fright.
“What do you think?” Jack said quickly.
“Oh God, Jack.” Danny said. “I told you not to tell him yet.”
“I didn’t.” Jack said. “He just guessed and I couldn’t answer him.”
“David!” Danny called loudly above my crying. “David, stop it!”

I looked into his beautiful face. His eyes were sad and pain filled.
“Danny?” I croaked between sobs. “Oh God Danny. Why? Why him?”
He kept silent, knowing there was nothing he could say.

The pain I was feeling was so overwhelming that I knew that I wouldn’t be able to contain it much longer. My mind was ready to break and my heart felt like it had been torn open and ravaged. And then an incredible thing happened. My mind went blank and the pain suddenly vanished. My cries stopped and my breathing slowly returned to normal. And then I could see Lee and I was with him again. We were standing on the beach at my plot, looking out to sea.

We stood stock still, my arm around his waist and his draped over my shoulder. We watched the waves in the lagoon roll up onto the sand slowly. We stood in the comfort of each-other and I wanted it to go on forever. And it did.
