Promises Are Hard to Keep
mardel
Sequel to Promises a Darien/Bobby/Claire fic as requested by at least two loyal
readers.
Claire was the one to insist that they at least try to behave normally. They spent several nights a week at her house. Sometimes they returned to Darien's where it had all started.
They fell into a pattern when it came to sleeping. Bobby still couldn't be in the middle, so Claire and Darien took turns, snuggling up with Bobby.
Not that snuggling up to Darien was unpleasant, it was just that his entire focus was on Bobby. Not that she blamed him. She felt the same way. But she did
appreciate Darien's need for contact, now that he'd gotten them to break their
rule and admit their feelings. For him and each other, he wasn't going to accept
anything less from them than total devotion.
Darien loved attention, from her, from Bobby. It didn't matter, he reveled in any caresses that focused on him. If he were a cat Claire was sure he'd purr.
Almost any place you touched him was an erogenous zone. But he really lost
it if you stroked his hair, caressed his chest and nipples. The area just above his collarbone was very receptive. The taunt muscled area just above his hipbone, Claire had discovered that one by accident.
After Darien's last treatment they all spent Saturday night together.
It was now Sunday morning Bobby was in the shower. Darien had to go last because he took so long. Claire was trying to get to the coffee in the kitchen, but he was playing games with her. Blocking the way, pretending to be searching for the butter in the fridge.
"Excuse me love." Claire had tried to slip past him. But he blocked her.
"Darien excuse me please." She put her hands on his bare sides. His promise
to at least wear underwear when he was out of the bedroom kept for once.
"Oh, yeah that's the spot Keepie, stroke me there again and I'll do anything
you want, anything at all." Darien had sighed.
Claire shifted her hand over his taunt external abdominal muscles and stroked.
He nearly collapsed at her feet.
"Oh Claire you have no idea what that does to me." Darien's voice was deep,
soft and pleading for more.
"No, this is a new spot. Shall we get you to a chair before you collapse?"
Darien moved the few feet to the big stuffed chair in the living room.
He sprawled out over it, and groaned. "You wouldn't consider giving me a
little more..." Darien hoped.
"You really want me to?"
" Would you please Claire that was great."
Claire smiled and moved to kneel by the chair, he was stretched out laying back
in the chair, his long legs crossed at the ankle.
She reached to stroke her hand over the taunt muscle again. He closed his eyes
and sighed. "Yeah, that's the spot right there. You have great hands Keepie."
She caressed him, massaging the area that was so responsive. She was expecting
him to become aroused. But this clearly wasn't a sexual thing, he just loved being touched. Especially in certain areas. It was just that Darien was so vocal about his pleasure. If she'd been listening in another room to the moans and groans coming from him she would have guessed he was having sex, or at least getting oral. After several minutes she ended the contact.
"Thank you, you have no idea what that does for me." Darien smiled a very
satisfied little grin up at her.
"I think I do have an idea. Now it's your turn to return the favor." She was just baiting him to see if he would.
"Umm, sure as soon as I get mobile again." Darien inhaled deeply and sat up,
then he stood slowly and stretched. "What did you have in mind?"
He thought she might request he give her some alone time with Bobby. He
didn't for a moment think she'd ask him for something.
" I'd like to be held for a little while. Not now, but sometime when I need it.
I've a feeling I'm going to miss this, much more than either of you will, when it ends."
"Ends? Claire don't think like that. I'm well, you fixed the gland. Bobby's
happy for the first time since I don't know when. And you glow when he's in the room. Why are you predicting an ending?"
"I don't like thinking this way, but I feel that this won't last. "
"I hope you're wrong. But if that's what you want I agree, but you don't have to make a bargain with me for a hug. I've always been available to you for affection, it's just that you would never accept it." Darien touched her shoulder.
Claire loved him so much, that was why in the past she had to keep as much
distance between them as she could. She as afraid if she allowed herself to accept his embrace, if only for a few seconds. She would never be able to go back to doing with out.
"Darien?"
"Yeah, you ready for your turn?" He grinned at her, and opened his arms for
her to climb into his embrace. Claire wrapped her arms around his chest and
pressed her face into the hollow of his throat. Darien curved his body around
her, holding her close, tightly.
"Did I miss something?" Bobby entered the room.
"Just showing my Keeper how much I love her." Darien said.
"Good you keep on her good side, is there anything for breakfast?"
Bobby asked.
"I was going to make you eggs and toast, but I got side tracked." Claire
eased out of Darien's embrace.
After breakfast and waiting for Darien to get showered and his hair styled to
his satisfaction. They all went out to the boardwalk together. Claire wasn't
at all sure how to behave with them. She wanted to hold Bobby's hand.
But hesitated. Darien was already ahead of them, he wanted to check out
his favorite stand, to see if they had any new retro clothes.
.
Claire wanted to hold Bobby's hand. But hesitated. Darien was already ahead of them, he wanted to check out his favorite stand, to see if they had any new retro clothes.
Bobby escorted her to the boardwalk, he was very relaxed for once. One of the
few times she'd seen him wear casual clothes. Tan shorts, loafers and a light weight print shirt over a well worn sleeveless tee shirt. Claire was wearing shorts also, and a no sleeve top she'd just gotten in soft mint green.
"He's just a kid sometimes." Bobby shook his head after Darien, who was kind
of skipping down the boardwalk. He reached for Claire's hand, and was glad
when she accepted his hand in hers'. He had nothing against showing affection
in public, he wasn't sure of Claire's thinking on that topic so he asked.
"Is this okay?"
"Sorry?" Claire was watching as Darien practically dance down the path.
"You don't mind holding hands?"
"No I was wanting to reach for your hand before then wasn't sure if you minded?"
Bobby smiled, leaned over and kissed her, softly. "I'll never mind any sign of
affection you make towards me. In public or anywhere else."
Claire smiled back at him, " You may have to coach me a little then, I've never
been very demonstrative in public."
"Just go with your impulses, especially down here, no one will even notice."
They started to walk in the direction Darien had gone. He was looking thru a
new collection of used clothing. Bobby stopped to look at the wallets and stuff
in the booth next door. Claire wandered from booth to booth for several minutes.
But she didn't really enjoy shopping much, not when her head was still full of
emotions from the night before. Darien was searching for a couple of new shirts.
When he found one he wasn't sure about, he looked for her.
"Hey, sweetie what do you think?" Darien asked, holding it up to his chest for
her to see.
Claire studied him, then shook her head no. " I don't like that color on you."
"Okay how about this one then?" Darien switched to a blue shirt that was very
like a long sleeve tee shirt he already owned.
"No, you have that one at home."
"Not in this color." Darien protested. He picked a third selection and showed her.
"Now that's better, I like that one." She smiled and moved closer to help him hunt for more choices. Darien was looking, but he was getting bored with looking thru the jumble of clothes. He nudged Claire, she ignored him. He nudged her again, so she nudged him back. He moved to the other side of the table and reached a long arm over and tickled her. Claire clamped her arm down to her side and trapped his hand. Darien pulled free, and dodged out of her reach. Claire lopped a wad of shirts at him.
"Hey, no fair." Darien whined and caught them. He put the shirts down on the
table and made a grab for her. Claire ducked, but he was faster and grabbed her
around the waist lifting her off her feet. Claire squealed, not loudly but it still brought Bobby on the run.
"Claire are you...." He stopped when he saw they were just playing. Darien had
his arm wrapped around her waist, she was struggling to get free.
"Just teasing Keepie." Darien flashed a smiled at Bobby when he arrived.
Bobby nodded, and stood watching. Claire finally broke out of Darien's hold
and reached up to ruffle his carefully styled hair.
"Hey, now you're in for it." Darien swatted her hand away from his head.
Claire ran for the protection of Bobby's presence.
"Bobby love, make Darien stop teasing me."
"Huh, you two are worse than kids." Bobby crossed his arms over his chest as
Claire ducked behind him. It wasn't that he was a large shield, just that she knew Darien wouldn't hurt her with him there.
Darien reached over Bobby's shoulder and tried to grab the banana clip out of
Claire's hair. He wanted revenge for her messing up his style.
"Okay that's enough silliness Fawkes. Go finish your shopping." Bobby warned.
So far he was keeping his cool, but if Darien wouldn't leave Claire alone he would jump to her defense.
"She messed up my hair." Darien protested, sounding very like a teen, instead of
a thirty year old man.
"She won't do it again. Will you Claire?" Bobby aimed that comment towards
the woman hiding behind him.
"No, I was only trying to get free. I won't bother you anymore." Claire acted all innocent. "
Darien glared at her but went back to find the shirts he liked.
"Thank you Bobby. I guess that will teach me not to mess with his hair."
Claire moved around to Bobby's side and kissed his cheek.
Bobby snaked an arm around her and kissed her on the mouth. He didn't like
having to separate them when they had these little squabbles. He hoped they
grew out of them soon. " You can't keep provoking him, you know he will
always retaliate."
"I know, I should behave." She smiled and lifted his sunglasses off his face so
she could see into his dark eyes. "I've never shared a relationship like this before,
it's fun to push him and see what happens. Especially now that there's no danger
of him being adversely affected." Claire wrapped both arms around Bobby's neck
and kissed him deeply. He responded enthusiastically, pulling her entire body
into contact with his hard frame. The kiss lasted long enough for people to notice.
When Bobby finally ended the kiss, Claire was breathless. She'd planned to take
his breath away and he'd smoothly turned the tables on her.
"I'm going on down and look over the books." Darien told them. He'd seen
the clinch they were in, and knew better than to try and break it up.
"Come on Keepie, the book store should be safe." Bobby took her hand and
guided her down the row of stores.
Darien was looking over the books on the side of the store facing the sand.
A pair of young women approached him and began flirting. He talked with
them, but he was still upset from Claire's getting all of Bobby's attention ever
since they'd left the apartment.
Bobby and Claire arrived, and she went to look over the non fiction section.
Bobby watched Darien with the two beautiful women. Normally he'd flirt a
little back but he never took them up on their offer. Today he wasn't flirting,
he was being rude. They quickly decided they didn't want to talk to him
after all and moved off down the boardwalk. Bobby was still watching, Claire
was talking with one of the store clerks. He was scanning the crowd.
Darien went back to looking over the books.
Darien was approached by another young woman and he was rude to her
also. Bobby didn't like this new development, his happy go lucky partner
was acting weird.
"What's the matter Partner?" Bobby moved up beside Darien in the book
row on the far wall.
"Nothing, I'm just looking for one I haven't already read." Darien stretched
for a book on a top shelf.
"You've been getting all kinds of offers today, why are you being so mean?"
"I'm not being mean, I'm just not interested. I've got you and Claire I don't
need anyone else." Darien reminded him.
"Yeah, you've got us, but that's no reason to be rude to these girls."
" I'd have thought you would be glad I was telling them I'm taken." Darien
questioned.
"I'm glad you aren't looking anymore, but you don't have to hurt their feelings."
Bobby knew how it felt to be shot down, over and over. Claire had knocked him
down enough times.
"Then how about if I send out a message." Darien moved quickly, and embraced
Bobby lowering his mouth over Bobby's, the kiss wasn't long, but it got the point
across to anyone watching.
But for the second time that morning Bobby turned the tables on the person who
had initiated the kiss. Darien was melting into him. He'd intended to just make
a quick statement by kissing Bobby. Bobby was placing his stamp on Darien now,
making sure that Darien understood he was taken and loved.
"Oh man," Darien swallowed and locked gazes with Bobby.
"Pick out your book, I'll be over by the front of the store." Bobby nodded, satisfied
he'd made his point. Darien looked dazed just as Claire had earlier.
Both Claire and Darien had to rethink the plan they had anticipated for the day.
Both wanted to return to the house and spend the afternoon making love with
Bobby. His kiss of ownership having the same effect on them both.
"I'm kind of thirsty, do you want a soda or some water?" Bobby asked Claire
as she joined him carrying the book she'd just purchased.
"Some juice or something would be nice. Where is Darien?" She looked over
to the area she'd seen him last.
"He's over there now." Bobby nodded to the other side of the store. "I'll ask
him how much longer he needs."
" Claire and I are going over to the coffee place, you want to join us or meet
us over there?" Bobby asked.
"I'll come with you." Darien put the book down, he stepped in beside Bobby
on the other side of Claire. He wondered if they both double teamed him if
he would be up for a make out session on the beach.
Darien tried to signal to Claire that he wanted to talk to her in private for a second.
But she wasn't looking his way. Bobby got in line for the coffee and juice.
"Claire come on lets go find a place to sit before they are all taken."
"Alright tell Bobby what you want." Claire allowed Darien to lead her away
from the line.
"He knows, come on." Darien found a table close to the windows and put her
bag down. "Claire listen, I saw that kiss he gave you. I got one almost identical
to it a few minutes ago. I think it's time to gang up on Bobby and stop all this
competing."
"I'm not competing with you for Bobby's attention Darien." Claire protested.
"Okay you aren't I was, but never mind. I think we need to team up and persuade
him that the best way to spend the afternoon is in bed."
"You want him all to yourself?"
"Well yeah I do, but that isn't our deal. I'll be happy if we can just persuade him
to try letting us pick the time and place." Darien found Bobby's hard line attitude
about only making love after the sun went down, and first thing in the morning,
interesting considering he was sleeping with both him and Claire.
"Where did you have in mind?" Claire was worried.
"I know about a place down the beach here, it's secluded, it has it's own pool,
and the owner is away on vacation." Darien informed her.
"Have you been breaking into houses for fun again?"
"No, just listening in on conversations. I checked it out the other day, it's perfect."
Darien promised her. "Just follow my lead."
Bobby arrived with the drinks, and took his place beside Claire and across from
Darien.
"I don't like this you're both too quiet. What's up?"
"Hobbes buddy, Claire was just telling me that she's always wanted to try a
little role playing and she wanted to call in her marker for the other day. "
"Oh, yeah, you never said anything before about role playing. What did you have
in mind?" Bobby looked interested.
"She said a friend of hers from college has a place near here and offered her the
use of the beach house this month. It has a pool, and she kind of thought bored
lady spending time by the pool and the guy that cleans the pool shows up.
"Okay so far that gets you busy, where do I come in?" Bobby was smiling.
"I was kind of thinking maybe you could be the jealous husband coming home
unexpectedly, and then decided to join us instead of hurting him." Claire rushed
her story, "Or if you don't like that one, you could be the hunky neighbor who
I've been flirting with, you think you're going to get lucky then get called away
to an important phone call. When you come back I'm involved with Darien and
you join us, taking him first then finishing me off."
"How far is this house?"
Darien was grinning from ear to ear as they headed for the car. He'd made a key
just for this occasion, as he'd planned to try to get them here before the month was over.
"This is really nice, you'll have to send her a nice gift for sharing." Bobby said as Darien opened the house. Claire nodded, feeling really scared that they would be found out.
But Darien kept making motions to her to play it cool.
"Okay so which one are we going with?"
"Bobby do you want to be the hunky neighbor or the husband come home to
find us?" Claire asked.
"I think the neighbor, so you go change and get into position by the pool."
Claire nodded and headed upstairs to change.
"This was really your idea wasn't it?" Bobby asked when she was gone.
"Yeah, do you mind?"
"No, not if she's up for it. Let's check out the pool." Bobby pushed open the
French door and whistled, "This is real nice." The pool was still being maintained. There were only a few small leaves floating on the surface of the water.
"I'll go find a few props." Darien had wanted to do this, but now he wasn't
sure it was a good idea.
Claire came back down. She was wearing a borrowed two piece suit that she looked
beautiful in, and a sheer wrap she'd hung around her waist. "I'm ready, we're
starting with Bobby right?"
"The flirting part you are, then he has to leave. Alright are we using our own
names or pretend ones?"
"What ever you like." Bobby grinned. Claire seemed to be getting into the spirit of things now. She stretched out on the lounge chair and removed the wrap.
Darien moved to the edge of the pool and watched. Bobby moved to the hedge
that separated the two yards.
"Ah Hello over there anyone home?" Bobby strolled into the yard, his shirt
open the tee shirt gone underneath. Claire blinked, he was going to get into this.
"Hi, who's there?"
"Roy Thomas from next door we just moved in a few weeks back." Bobby came
to stand beside her chair and offered her his hand. He leered at her breasts and smiled as she leaned forward to shake hands with him.
"Nice to meet you Roy, I'm Cindi Welsh please make yourself comfortable."
Claire leaned back in her chair.
"This is a great neighborhood, I love the weather out here. It's always warm."
He took a seat beside her legs on the end of her chair and leaned an arm across
her feet pulling his shirt open even more to give her a good look at his chest.
Claire smiled, " Yeah it's a very friendly neighborhood. "
"I can see that." Bobby touched his hand to her leg, and shifted in his seat.
He was becoming aroused and letting her see that he was very large when he
was fully erect.
" You want to share?" Claire moved a hand up his thigh inside his shorts,
grazing his inner thigh and licking her lips.
Darien made Bobby's cell phone ring then. Bobby cursed. He'd forgotten for a
minute they were playing. He reached into his pants pocket and answered the
phone. "Yeah, yeah, okay hang on for a minute. I'll get you those figures from
inside."
"I'm sorry but I have to take this call." He stood, groaned, adjusted his fully
swollen package, and strolled off towards the hedge.
Claire looked disappointed and huffed back to her book. Darien arrived a few
minutes later.
"Pool Man!" He announced.
"Hello, come on in."
"Hi there Ma'am you don't mind if I do this real quick do you?" Darien acted like the typical laid back beach dude.
"No that's fine go ahead."
Darien kept looking at Claire as he skimmed the water with a screen on the end
of a long pole. Claire eyed him back, he was very tall, long lean and well muscled. His shirt was unbuttoned all the way down in the heat.
"There that didn't take long did it?" Darien moved to set his prop down and
came to look down on her.
"No that was fast, you aren't that fast with everything you do are you?"
Claire almost groaned after coming up with that silly line.
"No, I'm not usually fast at all." Darien showed her he was aroused, the front
of his baggy shorts hiding that fact until he got close to her chair and showed
her how hard he was.
"Prove it." She challenged.
Darien dropped his shorts, briefs and all and stripped out of the shirt. He straddled her in the chair and reached to remove her suit bottoms.
"Yeah, you want proof? I'll give you proof." He covered Claire and kissed her,
while at the same time mounting her with a long hard thrust of his swollen cock.
Claire moaned in welcome, arching up to meet him.
"God Dare that feels so good." she praised him.
He continued to kiss her, while maintaining his slow thrusting. He thought Bobby
would have already arrived to join them. He ended the kiss, and checked behind
him. Bobby was just coming from the hedge.
"I'm sorry about that Cindi the call was from my boss..." Bobby froze in his tracks the site of Darien's beautiful ass pumping over her making him that much harder.
"Oh man, you're way ahead of me. Mind if I help you out there?" Bobby dropped
his pants and pulled off his shirt. He moved in behind Darien. He'd prepared for
this by fetching a lubed condom from the car. He slipped it over his pulsing cock head and inserted a finger in Darien's opening.
"Where have you been?"
"Waiting for just the right moment there Partner." Bobby said and stroked his
fingertips over Darien's knot of pleasure. Darien was still fully mounted over
Claire but that just added to his pleasure. He groaned, and thrust into her harder.
Bobby took position behind Darien's sweet ass and thrust inside carefully. It was hot, tight and with Darien already mounted, he had to go easy.
"Oh yeah, that 's so good. Help me ride her Bobby, it's her turn to scream."
Darien said, while trying to maintain his pace.
Bobby took over the thrusting, sending Darien's long hard cock deeply inside
Claire and his own huge hardness to the hilt inside Darien. He groaned with
the effort. He was staying in character.
"Oh, yeah you like that don't you? Just wait until I give you the high hard one
Cindi you'll scream my name." Bobby trash talked.
He rode over Darien in long, powerful thrusts. He could feel Darien's body responding. Darien had lost all control over his joining with Claire. Bobby was driving them both.
Darien came hard, just a few seconds before Claire cried out her orgasm.
Bobby continued to work over him and her, he was close but he needed another
few seconds. "Hold on there buddy, I'm almost there. " He grunted and pulled
out until only his tip was taken then rammed back hard four, five times then
groaned as he ejaculated. He filled the condom and still he was ejaculating.
He'd enjoyed using the two people under him.
Darien moaned and moved off of Claire. It had taken all his strength to keep from crushing her when Bobby rammed hard into him at the end.
"You like that there fella?"
" Oh man, that was amazing." Darien groaned and moved to sit in the other chair.
Claire was panting, she'd never experienced anything like that before.
"Bobby that was fantastic."
He was about to tell her to hang on for round two. But he heard the emotion in
her voice, he couldn't continue with the role playing. " You liked it that way?"
"Hey, don't I get any credit here?" Darien spoke up. But he was feeling the same
way, Bobby was amazing.
"Of course you do, come here." Claire held her arms up to welcome Bobby
on to the lounge chair with her. He leaned down and kissed her, "Not so sure
you liked the role play thing now are you?"
"Oh, it was different, but I don't like you being all show off and domineering.
I like the real you much, much better." She stroked her hand over his chest.
"Bobby's great at pretending to be other people. I should have warned you."
Darien sighed. He was all sprawled out, in his chair and staring at his naked
partner. If he had a few more minutes to recover he was sure he'd be ready
for a second round.
Claire was feeling brave all of a the sudden, she motioned over at Darien.
"He'd look really hot if he was wet." She hinted to Bobby.
Bobby looked over to where Darien was still sprawled over his chair. It would
be hard to improve how spectacular he looked naked, but little rivulets of water
running down over the muscles of his chest might just do it.
"Partner you know how to swim don't you?" Bobby said as he moved quickly
towards Darien and lifted him in a lighting fast assault, propelling him into the pool only a few feet away.
"Yeah, I know how to swim..." Darien had gotten out almost too late, as Bobby
assisted him into the water. Bobby followed Darien into the pool. He was expecting it to be cool on his hot skin, but it was a heated pool so it was just the right temperature.
"Hey, why did you do that?" Darien came up shaking water off his hair and
glaring at his partner.
"Claire thought you'd look even sexier wet. She was right." Bobby grinned and
pulled Darien in for a kiss.
Claire stood up on poolside and removed her swim suit top, then she walked towards the pool.
"How cold is it?"
Their kiss ended, Bobby looked her way, liking very much the view of her long legs from the water. "It's heated, come in and join us."
Claire walked down the steps into the water, until her breasts were just covered.
"Oh, no you don't. If I have to get my hair wet so do you Keepie." Darien swam over to her. He planned on dunking her under himself if she wouldn't volunteer to do it.
Bobby watched, to see if she would talk her way out of this one.
"I'm sorry Darien, I never suggested that he throw you in the water, I just suggested that you'd look very nice wet." Claire smiled at him as he stopped beside her and stood. The top third of his body was above water and he did look very desirable with water dripping off his beautiful sculpted chest.
"You like the way I look?" He asked, expecting her to tell him yes but then add
that she liked Bobby better.
"Darien what a silly question, you have a magnificent build. I'm sure you've
worked very hard to maintain so much splendor." Claire stroked her fingertips
over his shoulder, then down his left arm.
"But?" Darien added, he expected her to say he was too thin, or something like that.
"No but, I though Bobby was the only one who had a low self image at times.
Hasn't the response you've gotten from the young women in the area recently
confirmed to you that we find you attractive?" Claire didn't recall hearing him
down on himself on this topic before. Before it was always the gland he complained about.
"Tell me the truth Claire as a professional, you don't think I'm skinny and
misproportioned?" Darien questioned. He'd been so lean and gangly growing up
he could never see his real image in the mirror now without overlaying it with his old image.
"No, you have a magnificent build Darien. Do you hear this Bobby?"
"What is there something wrong?" Bobby had swum to the far end of the pool
when it looked like Claire and Darien weren't going to have a water fight.
"Darien is questioning his attractiveness." Claire explained.
"You're kidding right?" Bobby joined them at the lower end of the pool.
"Why do you say it like that? You've seen me get shot down dozens of times."
Darien protested.
"Yeah, but only because your opening line is so lame. What about this morning?
You chased off at least three hot young ladies." Bobby reminded him.
"Yeah, well they were just talking to me."
"See now that he's over the quicksilver madness thing, he's stressing over this." Claire rolled her eyes.
"Well I'll admit this now but I'm not going to keep boosting your ego Partner.
You are one of the hottest, most desirable men I've seen in my life. I wish I
had a build like yours, tall, lean, muscles. You won't get any sympathy from me
if you think you don't look good. " Bobby told him, looking him straight in the
eyes and nodding. "Why do you think it's been like twenty years since I was
with a guy? You are just too good to pass up."
"I am?" Darien asked, his voice cracking. He talked a good line sometimes but
deep down he was never confident of his ability to keep Bobby.
"Come here," Bobby embraced him, he waved Claire into the hug as well.
It seemed Darien was unsure of their feelings. Claire joined them in a three
way hug.
"Darien love, why are you doubting us now?"
"I'm not doubting you, I just can't believe this is going to work. What you said
this morning. You're probably right. Everyone in my life leaves me sooner or later."
"Oh, so that's it." Claire smoothed a hand over his back.
"You know I will never bail on you Partner, that includes as your lover. The only way you will ever get rid of me is if you tell me to go." Bobby lifted Darien's chin so he could read his dark eyes. "You believe me don't you?"
" I want to believe you." Darien whispered.
"I'm sorry I said anything this morning Darien. I'm just so happy being with both of you it's hard to believe it will last. You'll have to throw me out to get rid of me too Love, I won't willingly leave." She placed a kiss on his jaw, then rested he r temple against his throat.
Darien sighed, he hated these little bouts of doubt that swept over him every once in awhile. Claire had explained it was part of the gland's invasion of his hormonal system. He hugged Bobby closer, wanting to keep them both in his arms for a few moments. They stood in the water silent for a minute, each of them soaking in the precious moment.
"Bobby you're the one with the perfect build, all muscle, tight abs, and a great
ass." Darien finally broke the silence. He slide one hand down Bobby's back to
cup his partner's firm ass cheek, then placed a kiss on his throat. Claire smiled and added.
" Yes, I love his build." Claire shifted her focus to Bobby slipping her hand over his thigh checking for current condition.
Bobby had heard this from both of them before so he believed they liked his body. He didn't agree with them, but he wasn't about to argue the point. He did know he'd never failed to please either of them yet, and he planned on keeping it that way.
"If you guys want to get busy again, I think we're going to have to get out of the water." Bobby groaned as Claire's slender hand caressed his growing arousal.
"Oh we are defiantly going to need a second round, aren't we Claire?" Darien was
still nuzzling the area of Bobby's throat he loved best.
"I'd say at least one more." Claire continued to fondle him and added her mouth to the caresses Bobby was being treated to, starting with the cord that ran down from behind his ear, and traveling lower until he groaned again.
"Oh, you two are going to kill me." Bobby commented. But he was enjoying all of the attention. Darien was attempting to suck on his nipple but he was lower in the water.
"I think Bobby's right we need to get out of the pool for this to work." Darien propelled them all towards the steps. Claire whimpered when she had to break contact with Bobby to climb out of the pool.
"How are we doing it this time?" Bobby asked, not sure who'd started this.
"Claire?" Darien groaned and dropped to his knees in front of Bobby. He wanted to taste the throbbing erection standing proud at Bobby's waist, he didn't care who's turn it was.
"I'm not sure, but it looks like Darien's decided what he wants."
Bobby groaned, as Darien surrounded him with his warm mouth, drawing his tongue
along the length of his shaft and sucking deeply.
Claire settled for kissing him, while Darien was pleasuring him. Her hands busy stroking over his shoulders and back. Bobby broke contact with her when he exclaimed his climax, gasping for air, as he shot hot cum down Darien's throat.
"I wish you'd groan like that for me other ways." Darien grinned up at his lover. Not that Darien ever expected Bobby to want to be topped, but he'd like to attempt it at least once.
Bobby heard Darien's request but chose to not comment, he wasn't sure he was ready for that, at least not yet. "God let me catch my breath."
Claire was ready for a turn, but Bobby was done. Darien however was very aroused. He was laying back on the tile that surrounded the pool, staring up at them. He seemed satisfied at the moment, but he probably would need attention soon.
"Darien love, you wouldn't fancy a try at making love in the pool would you?"
Claire purred.
"I'll try anything once." He grinned up at her.
"Want to join us?" Claire asked Bobby, knowing he'd just gotten them out of the water because he didn't like the idea.
"No, I'm good, enjoy yourself." Bobby moaned and moved to the nearest chair to recover.
Claire moved to her knees and pressed her breasts into Darien's chest as she moved to kiss him as prelude for their attempt at pool sex. "My you are very hard, are you sure you want to try this?"
"I'm up for it Keepie if that's what you want." Darien teased her, rubbing his throbbing erection against her leg. Claire straddled his groin and rode over his trapped erection.
"Umm, feels so good, almost as good as when you mount me." She moved over him.
Darien hadn't had a woman rub him this way in years. But Claire seemed to really enjoy the stimulation.
Darien allowed her to rub against him another moment then he swept her up and carried her into the warm water. Claire wrapped herself around his long frame and moaned, as she sought for his erection in their new position. Darien cupped her ass, and brought her close so he could get into position.
" You're so aroused Love, do you think we can do this?"
"Yeah, just help me mount you." Darien was finding it difficult keeping her close in the water and getting his swollen organ into position. Claire moaned and slipped her hand up his throbbing shaft.
"Darien you're massively swollen are you alright?" Claire sounded turned on and concerned at the same time.
"I'm just really aroused, help me..." He groaned then as she surrounded him, hot, tight. He thrust deep, but had to wrap her legs around his waist to keep her in place. Claire moaned, and moved on his long hard organ, " You feel so huge today. Does it hurt?"
Darien responded to her question by thrusting as hard as he could, but in the water it wasn't that forceful. He backed her into the side of the pool and tried again. He attempted to thrust hard and deep, but with Claire wrapped around him, it was difficult to ease out and then ram back. "I think I understand why this isn't more popular." Darien groaned as he attempted to achieve some friction.
"Umm, feels wonderful to me." Claire sighed, he was so swollen any movement was giving her wave after wave of pleasure.
Bobby was listening to them. He'd enjoyed sex in the water a few times, but it wasn't easy for the guy to reach orgasm. It took more effort than usual.
"Make Claire lock her knees on your hips and use your shoulders for leverage. If she rides you, it'll work quicker."
Darien turned his back towards the side of the pool and moved her so she was the one in control of the joining. As soon as she shifted her weight forward and began pumping down over him, Darien got much more stimulation.
"Oh yeah, that's it, ride me hard Keepie." He pleaded. Claire worked down over his staining cock, then lifted up then ground down to the hilt of his massive erection. Darien helped her ride over him, groaning deep down, because he was now almost to his climax. "Yeah, that's so hot, keep using me, feels perfect, ride me hard."
Claire reached her climax first but Darien was only a few beats behind her. She
tried not to scream her release, so she hide her face against his throat.
Darien braced them out of the water with his elbows hooked on the side of the pool. But he was whipped out, and she'd done most of the work. He did managed to get them both out of the water and into lounge chairs.
"Okay that's not fair, all these years I've been doing all the work and you can get us both off just by shifting your weight forward." Darien protested.
"You were in too much of a hurry to experiment with your lady friends?" Bobby found it kind of funny Darien hadn't known about that particular position.
"Yeah, well I guess I was." Darien grinned, he had Claire laying on a lounge chair between him and Bobby. "You Okay there Keepie?"
"Yes, yes I'm fine just wonderful." Claire murmured. She was defiantly ready for a nap, but laying bare naked beside a pool wasn't her idea of a place for a nap.
Thing was Bobby was now the one that needed some relief, hearing both of his lovers sounds of pleasure had made him aroused again. Very aroused.
"Claire, I still owe you a turn." He said moving to sit beside her on her chair.
"Umm, Bobby I'm sure I'll be ready when you are."
"Good," he shifted position and straddled her body for a moment as he lowered himself down over her. He started by kissing her senseless, then slipped his hard organ inside her warmth. Claire was only just recovering from her orgasm with Darien, so it didn't take long for her to climax again with Bobby's thick cock thrusting deep inside her.
He took his time, bringing her to orgasm several times. He loved hearing her moan her pleasure, but he loved it more when she moaned his name.
"Oh, Bobby you're so masterful. Ohhhh, Bobby!" Claire was totally sated by the time he exclaimed his third orgasm of the morning. Two with Darien and one with her.
Darien was watching, admiring the sight of Bobby's muscles as he worked over Claire. The sight of his partner's thick cock pumping in and out of her wide spread legs, making him wish he could become aroused again. Or that Bobby would take him again.
Bobby sighed once he's finished ejaculating, he was getting a little sore from so much activity. He adjusted his position beside Claire and nestled her semi-conscious body against his.
"That was magnificent, watching you take her." Darien praised his lover.
Bobby nodded that he'd heard Darien, but he didn't have a response. He wanted
to just lay there holding her, and relax.
Darien dropped off to sleep first, followed closely by Claire curled up against Bobby. Bobby just enjoyed. He didn't want to worry, he just wanted to enjoy the afterglow.
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Darien woke up when he got cold and couldn't find any covers to pull up over himself. Then he remembered where he was. He opened his eyes and saw Bobby and Claire all cuddled up together, she wouldn't be feeling cold anytime soon with Bobby wrapped around her.
He moved to sit up in the lounge chair, the sun was all the way over towards the other side of the sky, so they must have slept for several hours.
"Bobby, Claire wake up I think we need to go." Darien moved out of his spot and found his shorts and pulled them on.
"What's the matter?" Bobby asked his throat dry. He blinked up at his partner.
"It's getting late, I'm starved and we need to go."
"Umm, time to go already?" Claire asked.
"Here go find your clothes, Bobby and I will straighten up down here." Darien handed her the towel she'd brought down with her earlier.
"What's the hurry?" Bobby was pulling on his shorts and looking for his shirt.
"We've been here all morning and I'm starved." Darien said again.
"Okay, Claire will be back in a minute." Bobby found his shirt and pulled it on.
"You know Fawksey, this was a good idea. I just hope the real owners aren't expected back for awhile yet."
"You knew this wasn't a friends' house?"
"Of course, Claire's rich friend has a place in Palm Springs not here."
"I'm ready." Claire was back down stairs, her hair brushed back into a pony tail. But her clothes looked all neat and proper.
Darien's hair was rather flat compared to usual, but it was shorter now so it didn't need as much attention to make it fluff up to it's usual height.
They walked back up the boardwalk. Darien stopped to grabbed a hot dog he was so hungry.
"We've missed lunch, do you want something?" Bobby offered to get Claire lunch somewhere.
"I'd like to go home and clean up. That chlorine feels itchy on my skin."
"Okay, home it is." Bobby ushered her and Darien back to the van.
Pavlov greeted them all at the door, and Bobby took him for a quick walk.
Darien was still in search of food, but he had offered to at least make Bobby and Claire lunch while she showered.
Bobby returned with the dog and took a fast shower himself. He was getting dressed for the third time that day, when Darien yelled up to them that lunch was ready.
Claire was standing in the doorway admiring her man. Well one of her men.
"I love you Robert Hobbes, you do know that don't you?"
"I love you too." He moved towards her and caught her hand in his.
"Let's go down before he eats it all himself."
Darien had made chicken salad sandwiches for everyone. He'd heated up the soup
Claire had made the day before and he'd arranged a selection of fruit for everyone to pick from.
They walked down stairs hand in hand.
They all enjoyed a nice late lunch, talking and laughing. Pavlov kept attempting to get Claire's attention. She'd pet him for a few minutes then get involved in
the conversation again.
It was while Bobby and Claire were cleaning up after the meal that she
realized.
"Oh drat! I completely forgot to get Pavlov's dog food when we were out."
"I can run down to the store if you want." Bobby offered.
"No, he's my responsibility." Claire protested.
"It's no trouble, you stay and finish this and I'll be back in a jiffy. He eats that pedigree in the yellow small cans right?" Bobby wanted to make sure he knew
the correct brand of food.
"Yes, any flavor but turkey. Thank you love." Claire smiled at him.
"I'll be right back. Hey, buddy need anything from the store?" Bobby asked on his way out.
"No, I'm good." Darien waved from his place in front of the television.
Bobby drove down to the store, and picked up the dog food. He got ten cans, he figured that would last for a week. He also picked up a few other items he thought they might need. He was carrying his bag back across the parking lot
when there was a very loud screeching sound.
Bobby looked to his left and saw a large pick up truck barreling down on him.
He had only seconds to react, he choose to attempt to roll with the impact, positioning himself to take the hit mid body and rolling with the force.
The truck continued on it's way.
Bobby rolled over and over and over like a stunt man at an action review.
Only he wasn't wearing padding, and it hadn't been a carefully planned stunt.
He felt the impact, remembered rolling along the pavement, then he blacked out.
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
"Darien he's been gone almost an hour, do you think something could have happened?" Claire was watering her plants, doing small household chores.
"It has been awhile, did you try calling his cell phone?" Darien picked up his
phone from the side table and dialed his Partners number. They both heard
the phone ring in the hall.
"I guess he forget to take it with him." Claire frowned, Bobby almost always took his cell phone with him. She hopped he had at least taken his weapon. She ran upstairs to check and didn't see it anywhere. Good. If he was in trouble at least he was armed.
"He has his gun with him. Do you think we should go and look for him?" She asked as she came back down the stairs. Darien was standing in the hall, he was
worried about Bobby. But he wasn't sure if it was time to panic yet.
"Lets go look, maybe he had trouble with Golda and couldn't call 'cause he forgot his cell." Darien picked the keys to her SUV up off the table in the hall.
Claire grabbed her purse and house keys. They drove to the shopping center closest to the house. They saw no sign of trouble, or the van.
"I'll bet we missed him, lets go back to the house and check." Claire was relieved now, she'd expected to find a crime scene or worse.
On the way back to the house they passed a fire truck on the way to a building fire.
"You don't suppose he saw the fire and is helping out or something do you?"
Claire wondered, out loud.
"It's possible, Bobby can't pass up a chance to help out." Darien kept driving he wanted to check the house first. But the van was not back home.
"I'm getting a really bad feeling about this." He said and turned back towards the fire. It was possible Bobby had stopped to help.
"I'll go look around, meet me back here in a few minutes." Darien parked the SUV and climbed out. Claire went to look too. There were dozens of people
milling about. It was a small apartment building on fire. It looked like it might have as many as six separate apartments in the brick building.
The EMT's were busy patching up a man on a stretcher. Claire checked to make sure it wasn't Bobby. Darien returned, " I don't see him anywhere and I talked to the police officer on the scene he hasn't seen Bobby.
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Bobby was laying unconscious on the pavement. An employee called for an ambulance when one of the people from the parking lot ran inside and yelled for help. The ambulance loaded him on their stretcher and took him to Mesa Vista Hospital.
The police called to the scene interviewed several people about what they had seen. But as Bobby was unconscious they followed the ambulance to the hospital. There was no crime scene to tape off as he'd only been injured.
"What happened to him?" The tall resident lady doctor asked as Bobby was wheeled into room three at the emergency room.
"Hit and run, he's breathing rapid and shallow, but nothing is broken. His pulse
is 88 his blood pressure is dropping. Pupils are equal, he's not regain consciousness since we've been with him."
"Did you find his ID?"
"Yeah, it's there by his knee." The EMT handed Bobby over to the doctors.
"Okay Mister Hobbes," she checked his ID, "Let's see if you were really as lucky as it looks." She set about checking him over for more serious injuries.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
"Darien I'm worried what could have happened to him?" Claire was turning to him for guidance, because she was so scared that something terrible had happened to Bobby. She fought the panicky feeling she was getting, she had to try and stay calm. If he was in trouble her panicky wasn't going to help matters.
"I don't know, let' s go back to the store and see if anyone remembers him
being there." Darien guided Claire back to the car. He had a hard knot in the pit of his stomach. He was scared something had happened to his partner.
Darien drove back to the store for the second time. He went up and down the
rows of parked cars and they found Golda parked near the back of the lot,
beside a huge Winnebago. That's why they had missed it the first time.
"Okay we know he's here or at least he was here." Darien wasn't sure he liked
knowing Bobby was on foot.
"Perhaps if we ask inside someone will remember checking him out?" Claire wished she had a picture of Bobby to show people.
Darien started with the lady working behind the customer assistance counter.
"May I help you sir?"
"Yeah, this might seem like a strange question, but was there any kind of trouble here today?"
"No, I don't believe so. Is something wrong?"
"My friend's car is still parked outside, but he's not around anywhere."
"Oh, I see, you know there was an accident in the parking lot before. Let me ask Frank if he knows what happened." She waved over one of the bag boys.
"Frank did you see the man get hit outside earlier?"
"Oh man, that was terrible. He got hit by this big black pick up truck. He went
rolling and rolling. I was sure he was hurt really bad."
"What did he look like?" Darien asked not wanting to hear more.
"He was kind of bald and short, older, my dad's age maybe."
Frank added.
"Oh, my God!" Claire covered her mouth with her hand.
"Do you know where they took him?"
"No, the ambulance came. There were cops here for about a half hour."
He shook his head.
"Okay now Claire think, what's the best way to find out which hospital he was
taken to?"
"The police officer that was here, or the company that dispatched the ambulance." She said.
"I thought they were all county ambulances, never mind okay. Come on."
Darien took her back out to the car, and sat her down.
"Hold on Claire, we need to find out where to go now."
Darien dialed 911 on his cell phone.
"Do you have an emergency?"
"Yes, my friend was in an accident at Valley Drive Center. Was a ambulance dispatched here about an hour ago?"
"You need to contact the EMT service Sir, do you need an ambulance?"
"No, I'm just trying to locate which hospital...."
His phone was cut off, "Damn, I need to call the regular number for information." Darien cursed. Just as he was about to dial directory assistance
his phone rang.
"Yeah, who is this?"
"Darien I'm sorry to disturb your Sunday, but I've just received a notice that Bobby was admitted to Mesa Vista Hospital as a hit and run."
"Eberts, oh man thank you so much. We knew he was hurt and didn't know
what hospital they took him to." Darien handed the phone to Claire and
climbed in the drivers seat.
"Eberts, how did you get notified so quickly?" Claire asked.
"I keep the program running just in case. It is to notify me if any of the
Agency personnel are admitted to local hospitals."
"That's very innovative of you, do you know any details of his condition?"
"No he was listed as admitted to emergency, but that was all."
Eberts sounded very concerned for Hobbes.
"Have you notified the Official?" Claire asked.
"No, he's in Washington for the budget meetings. I wanted to have something to tell him when I did call."
"We'll keep you posted. Thank you for calling."
"Claire, Mesa Vista, it's up over by the park right?"
"Yes, on Vista Drive up near the University."
Darien was driving as fast as he dared considering he wasn't sure how to best get there.
"Can I help you?" The woman behind the desk asked.
"Yes, please a patient of mine was brought in here by ambulance."
"Name please?"
"Hobbes, Robert a hit and run I believe."
"The emergency room doc is with him now. She'll be out to speak with you shortly."
"Thank you." Claire turned back to Darien, to shush him.
"Don't demand to see him, just come over here with me and we'll use your talents to make a trip to exam room three." She moved him to the side hall
and Darien nodded understanding. He quicksilvered them both, keeping hold
of her head to maintain the flow.
Darien bit his tongue to keep from gasping when he saw Bobby. He was pale, stripped naked, tubes running in both arms. An oxygen thing was over his face.
A huge bruise was spreading over his side, hip and thigh on the left side.
There was another bruise on his temple. And a bandage covering his wrist.
Claire had expected worse, if he'd been hit by a truck he was lucky to be alive.
She could hardly believe he wasn't in surgery already. She watched as the
doctor continued with her exam. She was listing things down for the nurse
to make a notation of, "Cracked ribs at least six, we still need that x-ray for
the internal trauma. If he's got internal bleeding it's not showing up on his readings."
Claire looked over her shoulder at his chart. She wished she could do an exam of her own. But if what she was hearing was true Bobby was very lucky.
"He's stable, order the x-ray and then come find me." The doctor handed the chart to the nurse and left.
The nurse finished writing down orders then, checked on Bobby's readings.
She made sure his IV line was running free and then went out also.
Claire moved to examine him. Darien allowed the quicksilver to drop off. He reached to take Bobby' s hand in his. " You'll be alright Bobby, Claire's gotten
me out of worse situations."
Claire was checking him over, it didn't appear he'd suffered internal injuries.
He must have managed to take the impact and roll with it as the boy at the
store had described.
"He's not in critical condition, other than the concussion." Claire finally said.
"So he's going to be fine right" Darien asked, praying that was what she meant.
"Yes, as long as he regains consciousness in the next few days he should be fine."
Darien hugged her, he didn't know what else to do. He was so glad Bobby would
recover. Claire returned his embrace, allowing herself a moment to send a silent
prayer of thanks that he was alive. But she knew his head injury could still mean
he wasn't out of the woods yet.
"I was so scared." Darien confessed.
"Darien, listen to me for a second." She eased back so she could see his face.
"Bobby isn't as badly injured as he could have been, but his head injury is serious."
"But he's going to wake up soon right?" Darien sounded so hopeful.
"I hope he will, but there is no telling, if he doesn't wake up in the first 72 hours or so that isn't good. So we'll wait and watch and pray." She promised.
"Okay, I'll sit with him."
"Excuse me what are you doing in here?" The nurse had returned with the x-ray tech, "You aren't allowed back here without the doctor's permission.
"Yes, I realize that but I'm also a physician. Dr. Claire Keeply, Mr. Hobbes is a patient of mine."
"That's fine Doctor, but we need to get in there and take some films. You have
to step out of there." The tech spoke up.
"Yes, if you could tell me where to find the attending physician?" Claire asked. She motioned for Darien to wait for her.
He didn't want to leave Bobby, but realized they did have to take the X-rays
to see how seriously he was hurt.
Bobby was moved to a room for critical care, and they were allowed to sit with him for a few minutes every few hours. Darien was not handling the pressure well. He wanted to just stay with Bobby, but they wouldn't allow it. He'd told Claire he was just going to stay quicksilvered the entire time. But she'd talked him out of attempting that.
He paced in the waiting room. Claire was trying to read. But she had a hard time
keeping track of he place on the page.
"I've updated Eberts on Bobby's condition, perhaps we should go home for a few
hours." she suggested, hoping to get Darien's mind on something else.
"I thought we could go in and see him again?"
"We can, but not in the middle of the night. The next visiting time is 9:45 in the morning."
"But what if he wakes up?"
"They have promised to beep me. But if you want to stay..." She let him choose.
"I don't know, I feel bad leaving him here alone." Darien stopped by her chair and looked down at her.
"They did offer us the spare beds in the intern dorm. You could try and get a nap and clean up a little." She reminded him.
"Yeah, let's do that. It's on the other side of the building right?"
"Yes, follow the blue line to the lobby, then the arrow to the dorm." Claire repeated the directions they had been given.
